Very good Rill. Your sense of humor is improving. I think I'll include you somehow in the next Tailing Box... To: Alan Whirlwind (1235 ) From: Alan Whirlwind Wednesday, Jul 1 1998 7:26PM ET Reply # of 1346 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. $$$ From the Tailing Box... Dear At a Bottom Now for Gold: Compaq Computer just cut 5,000 jobs and closed eight facilities. Should I get out of this tech play? --Booted Dear Booted: You have no choice, especially if you were one of the 5,000. --Whirlwind Dear Whirlwind: Last week I asked you about Florida real estate and you gave me the same runaround answer you gave SKEPtical. Well, is Florida the place to invest in? --Still Northerner Dear Northerner: cosentini.com --Whirlwind Dear Pinky's Tailing Box: I picked up 10,000 shares of Zappa today. Comments? --Hot Trotter Dear Hot Trotter: cosentini.com Any questions about PMs? E-mail the Whirlwind: Whirlwindbuyszappa@mindless.com
