Writing off a 'big ride'

Jackass sey di worl' no level. Jackass sey wen entertainer crash nuff time a some big ride dem crash an nutten do dem, dem jus' set up a nex' one quick quick.

So Elephant Man has made his mark on the education system by tearing down the wall of Priory High School with his motor vehicle. As THE STAR reported on Saturday, at 3:30 on Friday morning he was coming from a certain madhouse when his BMW X5 picked up a skid and slapped the wall, then turned over.

Since he is not hurt Jackass can make a joke about it. Can you imagine Ele driving merrily along in the wet, smiling and thinking about "Bad Boy Recordsh". Then the van picks up a skid and he says, "A wha datht?!" It really starts to slide, is heading for the wall, he holds on to the steering and says, "Shizzle!" It slaps it, turns over, Elephant Man is lying down sideways, realises that he is not hurt and says, "Ma nizzle."

Heh heh.

But the world is not level at all, because when big artistes crash they make big crashes in big rides, then just jump into another big ride and off they go like nothing happened.

Look at Beenie Man and his Hummer, humming merrily along on Mandela Highway when the toll road set-up was being done. He is heading towards Blasé Blasé outside Mandeville when he takes a straight where a corner is and crashes. He ends up in hospital and what does he do when he comes out? He gets another Hummer going, that's what.

What will happen to Elephant Man? He is in another big ride already, Jackass can bet. Just like that.

Remember Ninja Man coming through Bog Walk gorge and a stone rolled down and hit the Honda CRV he was driving? What happened to him? Not a darned thing and now the Don Gorgon is sailing along merrily in an X5.

But what happened to poor Natasha from Denmark, who won the IRIE FM Big Break competition last year? The car she is in (she is not even the one driving) crashes into a lightpost and braps, she is dead.

(OK, so Jacob Miller, big artiste, crashed and died in 1980, but remember those were long ago times and he was driving a Ford Escort.)

But it is even more than that why the world is not level. As Elephant Man told The STAR, "some police from Mobile Reserve come on an trus mi, mi haffi big dem up, cause dem come out inna di rain an a bare love dem show mi. Dem all call di wrecker fi come pick up di vehicle fi mi, cause di van write off."

Damn! Not even one "whey u can do fi yusself?" Not even one "hmm, yu know how much dem charge a court fi reckless drivin'?" Not even one quick report to the Traffic Department, because they had not even heard of the accident when The STAR called.

Jackass sey di worl' no level. Jackass sey Elephant Man lucky, cause de las' animal whe crash near whe him crash a Tiger an all now im cyaan roar good again.
