Special Sandals
A married couple was on vacation in Jamaica. They were touring around the marketplace looking at the goods and such when they passed this
small sandal shop.
From inside they heard the shopkeeper with a Jamaican accent say, "You foreigners! Come in. Come into my humble shop!"
So they walked in, and the Jamaican said, "I have some special sandals I tink
you would be interested in... Dey make you wild at sex....mon"
The wife got really interested in buying the sandals, but the husband felt he really didn't need them, being the sex god he was. The husband asked the
shopkeeper, "How could s andals make you into a sex freak?"
The Jamaican replied, "Just try dem on, Mon. You doan haff to do nutting cept try dem on. " So the husband, after some badgering from his wife, finally gave in, and tried them on.
As soon as he slipped them onto his feet, he got this wild look in his eyes,
something his wife hadn't seen in many years! In the blink of an eye, the husband grabbed the Jamaican, bent him violently over a table, yanked down his pants, ripped down his own pants, and grabbed a firm hold of the
Jamaican's hips.
The Jamaican then began screaming, "YOU GOT DEM ON DA WRONG FEET, MON!! YOU GOT DEM ON DA WRONG FEET!!!!!!!!!!"
