True story: Once, when I went to Barbados on business, I made such a good first impression that my customer asked me if I wanted to marry his daughter, move permanently to the island, work for him, and have a place of my own to live. Sight unseen, I had to respectfully decline, but also because I wasn't sure if he was kidding or not. But if I had known that I'd be eligible for Barbados's national soccer team ... well, shucks, that changes everything.
The sports conglomerate known as Fanjury Percent 100 IQ, or something like that, stumbled across the Barbadian national soccer website, and from the looks of it, Cheap Ass Flyers has branched out into web design.

Barbados is No. 121 in the world, tied with Estonia. If you're smart, you start a bidding war between Barbados and St. Kitts for your citizenship, asking for a sugar plantation and some sunscreen. This advice, of course, is contingent on whether or not you're given an arranged marriage proposal.
