One ton or one tonne? On their way. Take your choose. Should arrive by elephant freight in ten days, or faster than Canada-what-month-did-you-mail-it-sir?-post. The Mahout's name is Mamood. Sign the receipt quietly and whatever you do, don't look the beast in the eye or say "Djibouti". The last thing you will hear in that case will be a trumpeting scream, and the last thing you see will be a grey blur of descending pachydermian pied-au-profond. It seems the pachy-post beast of burden lost his significant other 'derm in that far off locale to a rival of hypnotic gaze, and as you know, pachys never forget. (It's either that or a terrifying memory of a Robin Williams movie that still haunts him. Many think this is more likely as they have similar experiences.) It is strange indeed how many recipients of metal cannot remember this simple nostrum, or in a fit of idle curiousity attempt to tweak the nostrils of fate. The bill will arrive by more prosaic means. We usually send them by Volks-Beetle delivery. People who forget to pay, have three such notices delivered in this way and on the final notice the driver simply hands the bill to them from the window of the bug, wrapped around a 50 pound gold brick. With expedience being paramount in collection, the vehicle does not go below highway speeds at any time.
