Garbage bomber should plant yam


THE EDITOR: As with most things that Trinis try to copy from the outside world, we always end up looking like cheap imitators. We now have a jokey bomber blowing up garbage bins in Port-of-Spain. I notice that the press hasn’t given him a name. I propose we call him the Tuna Bomber.


If I were to profile this detonating dingbat, I would say he is in his late 20s, early 30s, and a poor Chemistry student whose claim to fame was passing hydrogen sulphide around the class and giggling like an old hen. I’d suspect he has an extra large forehead and extensive frontal balding due to numerous failed attempts and premature explosions. It does seem likely that he has some gripe with garbage disposal. Or, maybe there is no garbage pick-up in his area? Whatever the reason, I suspect we have little to fear from this early comer, pardon the pun, as he will soon realise that there are better things he could be doing with his time, like growing yam for export, quarrying state lands, robbing or kidnapping people.
