I just love it when I'm having a conversation with someone and out comes one of these gems, priceless! This is usually followed by gales of laughter and really brightens up my day.

| A SPECIAL CARD |
"Man kaa have dag an balk" - I got this one from a Guyanese friend. Turns out these wonderful proverbs are not exclusive to Jamaicans!
Translation: Man cannot have a dog and bark. If you have a dog, the dog should do the barking, not you.
What does this mean? This proverb is about allowing people to do their jobs, delegating and allowing individuals to do their assigned tasks without interference. For example, if you have an assistant, and you are constantly doing the tasks or duties that were assigned to the assistant, it causes confusion. If you keep doing this, out of frustration the assistant could say to you, "man kaa have dag an balk"!
So, if you have a dog, dont be barking today, you hear me!
