She teaches the Pilates of the Caribbean” was posted on Reddit—Dadjokes on August 28, 2022. “My yoga teacher came from Jamaica She teaches the Pilates Of The Caribbean” was posted on Reddit—Dadjokes on April 15, 2023. “My yoga instructor is from Jamaica. She teaches pilates of the Caribbean” was posted on Twitter by Robert Wilkinson on April 27, 2023.
 
Other Pirates of the Caribbean jokes include “I sell pies from my car. $2 for apple, $3 for pumpkin. These are the pie rates of the car I be in,” “Pie rates of the Caribbean” and “What do you call glass cookware from Jamaica?”/“Pyrex of the Caribbean.”
