Kaieteur News – Buddy, mi gon tell ya, living in dis land of many wonders called Guyana could mek yuh head spin like it deh in a blender. It’s a place where de absurdity wheel just keep on turning. Every day yuh don’t know whether to laugh or to cry.

De odder day a man snatch a woman’s phone right outta her hand on de road and den have de nerve to seh he didn’t mean to thief it. Wha? Yuh must be smoking more than just de good Guyanese bush to come up with dat one!

So why he snatched de woman phone? Is a selfie he wanted to take?

I don’t even have a child.”
