Pprune delegation to the UN......
Just picture it: Sarcs with a lampshade on his head, Oleo dressed to kill in Speedo's, bowler hat and a bow tie, Minnie in that 1960 yellow vinyl mod outfit and Gobbles in his Indian Pasha's outfit (bout le' Elephant) rolling up to the UN front desk. "Vhatchoo lot vant ?" barks the guard. "Please sir, we've come about the pot plants, it's very important" they say, breathless, but in unison.
The guard picks up the phone and mumbles away for a minute, a suit peeps around the corner looking flustered, then disappears. The guard waddles back – "OK" he growls "they'll see you, but I haff instructions to shoot the pachyderm if it poops; now, follow me". There was an awkward moment when the elephant farted while squeezing through the metal detector booth; magnificent it was, like a peel of thunder it ripped through the screening area. GD smiled and smiled when two security trolls swooned away; "Champion" he whispered.
They had decided that Gobbles should do the talking and he rocked them: land rights for gay whales, outdoor exercise for indoor potted plants, the whole none yards. It all went very well until he mentioned CASA, then blank faces spoke volumes. You see the UN knew of the Gobbledock and his righteous cause; but, they where clueless as to what CASA was or what it did, Korea – piece of cake, Afghanistan –a doddle, but CASA, oh dear. Same same here really. Anyway, after the tumultuous applause died away, they all bowed (Gobbles reversed it) and departed. They only just got the elephant out of building in time; what a mess. If you think pony pooh is OTT, try the elephant version.
Just for fun - Tailwinds all.....
