Old Cricket Friends
Two ninety-year-old Jamaican men, Neville and Victor, have been friends all their lives.
Vic is dying, and so Nev comes to visit him everyday.
Vic says "Nev, you know how we both like cricket all we life, an' how we play on the same teams for plenty of years. Vic, you haffi do me one favour. When you go to Heaven, and I know you goin' deh, somehow you haffi let me know if they have cricket there."
Vic looks up at Nev from his death bed and says, "Nev, you is meh bes' frien' for a long time. If it is possible, I will do it for you."
Shortly after that, Vic passes on.
A couple nights later, Nev is fast asleep when he is awakened by a blinding flash of light. A voice calls out to him, "Nev.Nev."
"Who dat?" says Nev, sitting up suddenly. "Is who?"
"Nev, is me, Vic."
"Yuh lie. Is not Vic; Vic just dead."
"Is me man, cho!"
"Vic is really you? Whey you deh?"
"I'm in heaven," says Vic, " ... and I have to let you know, I some good news and some bad news"
"So, tell me de good news fus" says Nev.
"De good news is that them have cricket in Heaven. Better yet, all ah we old bredrens who gone before we are there. And even better, we're all young men again. And more too, there's always sunshine and it never rains. Then best of all is that we can play cricket all we want, and we never get tired!"
"Really???" says Nev, "Dat is fantastic, wonderful beyond me wildest dreams! But, what's de bad news?"
Vic responds "Well, is you opening de batting next Tuesday."
