My roots is West Indian so while they were slaves in the Caribbean all they did was work on sugar cane.

The reason your joke falls apart is because slaves didn't own their own house which I will. Also I have no use for cotton or sugar cane. I'm only doing a vegetable garden because I rather plant my own veggies than rely on going to the grocery store all the time to get them.
