I'm Helping Spend your Tax Money

[jimbeaux]

Now check this out. Some lady calls up hunting me down by name. She says she is from London and has a grant to work up a stage play about Hurricane Katrina! What the hell is that about? She metioned that she is associated with a "well known London playwright" and would like my technical input. Some irony here; a short while back, I was invited to swim over and discuss lessons learned in Emergency Management with with my British counterparts but was cancelled due to budget withdrawals in your government....but the hurricane play is still on! Anyway, I will of course keep you all filled in on the grant amount, play progress, etc....afterall, it's your money It just gets stranger everyday!

We may get to have that after all. My sister has theatre connections in London.

One never knows! Just as long as we don't stop off at a Marxist rally on the way to the pub

Okay; here's the update I promised: Ms. Gwinner(theatre Director)& Mr. Simon Bent(Uk Playwright) are coming with their grant to discuss the trials and tribulations of the storms. This young lady really threw this Bent fellow's name around like it was special...I guess we'll see. I still can't confirm how much of your money is funding this, but I will keep looking

Aren't all playwrights Bent?

Hmm, your spending my tax eh? Well that's not very nice - what's our Government up to, wasting our hard earned money? However, thinking about it, it's probably more sensible than having to pay for:

1) The most expensive military in the world
who
2) Drop the most expensive ordinance by the most expensive aircraft
who then
3) Pay for the damage to be rectified
following which
4) Pay for an ongoing presence

Hmm, maybe a few quid on a play isn't so bad!

Hmmm...perhaps you should do up a play on that!
