10. Fear
"no sah...mi wi bruk yu camera"
(we're fairly certain this has never actually happened)
9. Pretending to be too busy
"mi nah nu time fi dat"
(instead you continue to wait in line for the next 10mins)
8. Weight
"Mi too fat....cyah mek dem see mi suh"
(chances are, they feel the same way)
7. Travel
"Mi ago dideh anyway"
(not sure what this has to do with anything at all)
6. Overload
"A too much name fi call"
(...best kind of problem to have if you ask me)
5. Bigger better network?
"Mi call dem on di phone all di while"
(great, now you have something new to talk about)
4. Hair scare
"But mi hair nuh do"
(then maybe you shouldn't have left the house either)
3. Technology glich
"my people dem na nuh TV"
(yeh right, bet they have a Blackberry though)
2. Money
"Dem a go wah money if dem see mi"
(you send it every week anyway...c'mon, it's christmas)
...and the #1 excuse for NOT sending greetings...
"mi visa expire' bout ten year aback"
(this one we completely understand....best of luck to you, 'walk good')
