Very good Rill. Your sense of humor is improving.
I think I'll include you somehow in the next Tailing Box...

Pinkey's Tailing Box: a weekly Wednesday feature of At a Bottom Now for
Gold...
The continuing continuing saga of POGton Place..."Two for Tea."
Lunch is served; will that be all Sir?
Yes Jeeves. Huh? By thunder Jeeves, today's Monday--the auction! We
forgot the auction.
Indeed Sir!
Take my lunch to the Rolls if you would Jeeves. We'll have to eat on the
run.
Sir, if I might point out, you've just spent 17 years heavily invested
in a simply attrocious mining sector.
Yes, you're quite right Jeeves, I stand corrected--take my lunch out to
the Volkswagon Beetle.
Very good Sir.

Faster Jeeves, we're late already.
Let's see, bread, cheese, lettuce...drat, if only I had some Miracle
Whip.
I'm sure the hamster on the tread wheel in the back is putting out
100%--no need for a whip Sir.
Ah, some Parkay!
SCUDDER.
Parkay!
SCUDDER
Don't contradict me Jeeves!
It's the margarine Sir.
Ah yes, of course.
Jeeves, why are we slowing down?
I'm afraid we're out of petrol Sir.
But that's preposterous, this automobile gets 50 miles to a gallon.
And it did Sir--on its last gallon.
By Jove, some democratic fellow is pulling over to render assistance.
Indeed Sir, it's the American Energy Czar Federico Pena if I'm not
mistaken Sir.
Roll down the window...I say old boy, do you have any Acquit Tripp gas?
Por qu‚?
SCUDDER.
Do you have any Acquit Tripp gas?
Por qu‚?????
SCUDDER.
I SAY DO YOU HAVE ANY ACQUIT TRIPP GAS MAN?
POR QUE'?
SCUDDER.
That abominable margarine.
MIDAS FUND.
Oh shut up! Can't leave a sore point rest, can you?
He's gone Sir. I believe I can push start us to coast down the hill to
the auction.
Yes all right.

Rather sparse today considering Sir...
Yes, a three hundred year tradition ends with hardly a notice...did our
bid go through?
Indeed it did, two kilos Sir and quite cheap Sir.
Then we shall be on our way. Two kilograms. A hair over four and three
quarters pounds. Should last us till my Calcutta voyage.
Sir, I took the liberty of leaving the hood up on the vehicle and an
observant gentleman has stopped to render assistance. It's former
American Housing Secretary Henry Cisneros.
I say good fellow, do you have any Acquit Tripp gas?
Pero Claro. Sure do. It must be terribly trying to find yourself run out
of gas and waiting for assistance.
Yes, indeed. But on the other hand, it must be terrible to find yourself
run out of office and waiting for assistants to be tried.
Oh dear...
Well, what's the matter Jeeves?
We haven't a funnel for the petrol.
Well, here, use this Bre-X certificate I'm making do as a placemat for
my lunch tray.
Ah, British ingenuity. It rolls into a fine funnel Sir.
$
Well, time to feed our addiction Jeeves.
It's all ready Sir.
So what's your daily intake?
3.39 cups Sir.
Good show--an average man. It's a sad state of affairs, to think we've
just been to the last tea auction to ever take place in London. Now why
do you suppose they've ended such a marvelous tradition?
They needed the warehouse room for another commodity I gather; something
shipped in by a Mr. Buffett.
What's that, coffee?
Silver Sir.
For tea, yes, coffee no.
