beautifully written....i especially like the ferarri line...5s plus
"Sell…he say sell, she say sell, dey say sell, me no s-e-e-llo…" That line did it for me. Wonderful job. 5's
This one stocks up pretty funny....Top job, here
LOL Funny! Wonderfully written. There is something about the clash of the classes (from banana boat to Wall St.) that just makes it funnier....555
Builds beautifully. 5-5-5
Glad this wasn't loaded with WS stuff or I would have been lost. The judge "jail-o" line was funny as hell. 555.
Calypsychotic!
I suppose the bounce-back version of this could be "Markets higher - time to buy-o" (to "Jambalaya - on the bayou")... lovely, Kristof.
Whirly one, wi' de lovely foam - LMAO! - there's something inherently funny about Jamaican-accent parodies - dey always make me split de sides - 555
