Pinky's Tailing Box, THANKSGIVING EDITION...
Jeeves! Jeeves! Jeeves where in thunder are you? Jeeves what on earth are you doing filling the bathtub in the middle of the day?
Er...Sir?
Jeeves, what's all that paper floating around in there?
Well Sir, I was watching CNBC and analysts were saying that tons of money was "sloshing around" the world. Well, I tried putting money in the tub, 100 pounds sterling to be exact, but it gradually all just sank to the bottom. Disappointed, I put some Bre-X certificates in the tub and by Jove look at them slosh!
Well done Jeeves! Of course, if you really wanted to see something going around sloshed you should have seen us Bre-X shareholders the night after they announced the Busang was a hoax, eh, eh.
Ha, ha, ha Sir.
Is Thanksgiving dinner about ready Jeeves?
I'll check on things now--it's going to be a fine feast Sir.
Yes, leave it to those Americans to come up with such a fitting tradition.
Perhaps in the meantime I could find some news on the telly Sir?
Yes, splendid idea Jeeves. I've been a bit lax in following world events you know. So what is in the news this morning?
Something about the American President Mr. Clinton and mistakes I hear.
Indeed? Is Miss Takes an intern too? Tell me Jeeves, if the American president were in the same colony that celebrated the first traditional Thanksgiving meal, how do you think he would have been punished for his indiscretions?
Well Sir, I would imagine he would have been put in the stocks.
Really? You can't be serious man. Certainly his punishment was weightier than that and would have been deserving of more than such a brief smidgin of public humiliation.
Sir, I meant mining stocks.
Egads Jeeves, the man's not Idi Amin or Saddam Hussein!
