  1. Man ,dem ”native Guyanese fellows ” are serious with their knives, when dem had lil liquor.
    I remember one ”liquored fellow” in Kaikan,suddenly pilled out his knife when rebuked.However my cousin ( a seasoned pork-knocker),did not hesitate…..he immediately jumped on the fellow , disarmed him and threw the knife in the Wenamu River. I was taken aback and remonstrated with him for unnecessary force, He however patiently explained that when you see those hinter-landers pull a knife, they are not bluffing…..be on the alert, or escape pronto.
