What a day

I knew when I got in to another email from the US African Chamber of Commerce that it was going to be one of those days. And I was right.

Hot on the heels of that email came one from a man who had written a book, and wanted some publicity.

And that's as much as I'm going to write about that. I've since done some research and found the author is a member of a militant animal welfare group, whose website features lots of pictures of men in balaclavas, lovingly cradling puppies. There's a 'Humour and fun' section that includes a billboard that says 'Save an animal. Encourage hunters to drink and drive.' Hilarious. There's also a link to a website for militant vegans. I wish I was making this up.

Its so sinister that I don't want to belittle his work here, for fear of being branded (physically) a 'cadaver-munching moron' wanting to debate my 'alleged right to eat holocaust victims'. Scary stuff.

Then, almost immediately afterwards, a member of the public called the office to inform us that her chicken had just laid an 'egg with a tail'. Dear God. Perhaps she should put on a balaclava and have her picture taken with it, then send it in to the 'Humour and fun' section?

I'll leave you with some other choice comments overheard in the office over the last few weeks;

'What does a nun do on her day off?'

'Are eskimos christian?'

'The blind woman's phoned the bishop!'

'Has anyone been looking for someone who shoots squirrels?'
