Yuh know about the Hairy Bank | Yuh is ah Trini

Triniglish | Trinididioms Spoken and Explained #15 | Yuh is ah Trini if yuh know about  D'Hairy Bank!

To save or not may not be the entire question but the end product for success in a society that encourages deposits in various financial institutions for future investments. A loan could fill the gap if you are credit worthy but in the case of the 'hairy bank' deposits could become a costly exercise that may eventually result in the demise of an individuals financial security. How could this be and why should making a secure deposit result is financial chaos?

Someone recently remarked that when making a deposit to the "Hairy Bank" one never realizes interest! However, it was interesting to note that the euphoria that comes from the first deposit quickly dissipates as the investment begins to grow resulting, in some cases, in severe stress and the realization that your life will never be the same again! Ha, let that sink in for a moment...

It is very interesting to note that a larger percentage of the hairy banks are run by voluptuous sexy women but then again some institutions that are simply 'laissez-faire' with their services don't care what the banker looks like providing that the depositors keep returning to make regular deposits. Some of the depositors don't care is the bank is stinky or is cleaned on a regular basis. When they desire to deposit nothing else matters. A good hairy banker knows her clients well and will capitalize on the needs and desires of the depositors providing the service from not so clean to highly brushed and polished for the discerning clients.

Initially the desire to deposit regularly is encouraged and both the depositor and the banker are very pleased. The relationship blossoms until another depositor makes a more substantial investment.  Oh this hairy bank is one of the most interesting places that mostly Trini males use to satisfy their desire to feel like a man. In the end they unwittingly put all their money in the hairy bank - "Ah broken pardna because all meh money gone to the hairy bank". Yes indeed he is a hairy banker making investments into a black hole where the light is never at the end of the tunnel - if ever there is an end to any of it. So what is and where is this bank located? Take a listen and determine for yourself.

The song is of the double entendre variety and having said that you could only imagine looking at a woman (the bank) from the top to the bottom and somewhere in the middle of everything lies the answer. The downfall of the banker lies not in the bank itself but the desire to continually deposit without thinking of the consequences of his actions. Hope this helps...
