Indicators/Turn Signals Optional

Soon to be seen as an option on all new cars in Trinidad and Tobago...

Leather Seats - Yes/No
Side and Curtain Airbags - Yes/No
Indicators/Turn Signals - Yes/No
5 Disc In dash CD Player - Yes/No
Chilled Glove Compartment - Yes/No

Thought process behind option 3? We don't use the blasted things anyway, so give people the choice of not opting for something they're never gonna use.

Now that's customer service! The customer is always right, even if he never plans to signal to the driver behind that he is...

The origin of Wining

This is going to be contentious, but contentiousness is why we now know today that the world is not flat...

We begin with a fable...

Circa the beginning of Carnival in Trinidad and Tobago, a french man, one Jean-Claude De Bouboulaise observed the "natives" moving their pelvic regions, that being hips, buttocks and even on the periphery, their thighs, in a manner that was similar to that of winding up something. He then wondered, "Why are these people winding up their bodies like that?".

Ergo, winding or as we say, due to complications arising out of our dialect, dropping the "d" sound, as in, "Why yuh minin meh business?"; wining was born.

My reason for this blog?

I'll give you several

Whining
Winning
Wineing

It's win'ing, more fittingly wining.

As I wind up this blog, I ask myself, "Why is this my first blog of 2008? Shouldn't I have written some restropective and forward thinking 2008 year of great things monologue?"

I guess it really is wining season...
