The Adventures of Jubille, the Fifty dollar bill and other stories.

The Adventures of Jubille, the Fifty dollar bill and other stories.

My life began in a Mint, but my story begins when I, the top note in a stack of Commemorative $50 dollar notes was presented to the President of Greenyana by the Governor of the Bank for inspection…

GP: Guv, how dis thing red? Why not Green and Yellow? You ent get the memo?

GB: Excellency, the memo come late the order was already put in and plus Priya woulda direct a freal blast we way, discretion being better part of the valor an’ all…

GP: yeah, but the problem will be with what the people will call this bill…

GB: no worries sir, our research shows it will be called a ‘Naggas’ , it Red but was given prominence by your Excellency , just like Cde. Nameerkaram ….a betrayal of sorts but with little value, the ‘Granger’ is still the biggest bill to rule them all.

GP: (Laughs) a naggas eh, well the people have spoken….I guess if the writing was in Chinese it would be a ‘Joe’….

The President then put me in his pocket, out of the corner of my eye a small tear fell, how quickly I had fallen, from a mighty commemorative bill to a nameekaram in a few minutes…but worse was to come….

GP: Mrs. Excellency! Come see what I have brought for you, a small gift, the first $50 to be issued!

M.E: Davie! How sweet of you… I will treasure it all my life!

GP: They are calling it the Naggas!

M.E: oh…. Oh… red …on our side… ohhh…I don’t want to touch it now….

GP: Dear …(looks like cow buss rope) what’s in a name? girl we got real problems wid cohesion, today was only nagas , he wife an’ anmah fuh the odder side… it ent look good…

M.E: It would help if you didn’t refer to the as the other side, darling, but you are the best most thoughtful man, thanks for the bill…. (takes me from him)…later she’s on the phone …yes, girl he give me the ting but me in want it no mo, but ah cyan tell he dat!...yuh see me on the cover of the magazine… no girl, is not Shabba is Shabow… yes, they deh ‘rung lang time…uh huh, well is so it go.. but if he think he getting the helicopter drop fuh dis he lie, eh heh, talk to you later, bye….. Puts me on the coffee table…later a wind blows and I end up in the yard…. To be continued

The recent GuyExpo was a success but many critics were quick to point out that PrisonExpo had more locally made items and showcased the true creativity of Guyanese.
