THE
JONAH
Poor Clown
Prince just cannot shake the hoodoo curse on him even when he is
overseas. The other day the Clown Prince went with a team of local Em
Pees to Namibia for a
common-wealth parliamentary meet where an election was due for the man
who sits in the chair. And the battle was betwixt Malaysia and the
Land of the Maple leaf. Our own Clown Prince lobbied heavily for the
Malay-sian and the joke among the local team was that the Malay man
would lose because our Jonah was back-ing him: (no pun intended). And
when the final count was done, true to form the poor Malaysian was the
loser adding one more to A-Bee’s string of defeats. The poor
Malaysian, if only he knew. Sin no!.
MISTAKEN
IDENTITY
And Sister
Satellite’s quip of the Pee-Em soliciting a bribe of 25,000 smackers
some 15 years ago from her to admit the little liberator to the school
that is royal had the country buzzing and the Doctor with the Big
Mouth who is the landed angel asked the Pee-Em at the cup board
meeting what he had to say to Satellite about her charge. The Pee Em
guffawed and said it was a case of mistaken identity.
The Doc
was con-fused and asked Ra-kneel what the mistaken identity was all
about and the Pee-Em said it was the father of one of Satellite’s
closest advisors who had taken 25,000 from the greens to do the jump
in 1964 and it was probably that 25,000 Satellite was all con-fused
about. Aha!
CHEAPSKATE
Satellite’s
bribery quip was also evoking laughter in her own circles and the
photos splashed in the wild rags of the angel who is consumed, Ravi-K,
and the opposing one whispering to each other had many a tongue
wagging, what with the impending 19th amendment, and it turned out to
be all about the 25,000 joke. The opposing one had asked Ravi-K
mockingly whether the Pee-Em was going for 12,500 smackers since
Satellite had said it was to be shared with a sec. Quipped Ravi-K,
“She may have been thinking of the going rate of the Pee-A types.”
Hmm, going, going gone, eh!
EMPTY
FEELINGS
Despite
the bribery drama, the Pee-Em was in a jolly mood when the cup-board
meeting got underway with Sagala, the Rat-leader also in attendance,
deputising for Karoo-victory sun. But at 6.25 p.m, Satellite sent word
that due to unavoidable circumstances, she cannot make it for the meet
— the circumstances no doubt being the jitter bugs with the greens
waiting to quiz her on the bribery charge. Not the Pee-Em however who
said it was the Rat Leader who was most dis-appointed at not being
able to sit next to Satellite in Karoo’s chair and rub, hmm...
shoulders.
But rising
to the Rat Leaders defence was the one who labours who said tongue in
cheek no doubt that even if one was to fault Sagala for his morals
which in any event was impeccable, you cannot call into question his
taste. Naughty! Naughty!
DIVIDED
LOYALITIES
It seems
Ass-victory wardene who governs at the bank that is central had not
heard Pee-Ems message of not having divided loyalties. The Ministry
that is Finance wanted an amendment to the money-tary board to expand
the numbers from three to five and when the matter was discussed among
officials, Ass had opposed it tooth and nail but the Ass was overruled
and a cupboard paper submitted, but lo and behold, now Satellite has
sent a note to the cupboard opposing the amendment, citing not only
the same reasons as the Ass but practically in the same language as
well. Poor Ass is well and truly caught and the Pee-Em, a birdie
whispers is hopping mad with the Ass. Grr...
