I was on holiday on a small Greek island. One day a whole bunch of people in white descended on the island, all Americans (myself and my friends with whom I was there are from the UK). It transpired that they were members of some cult or other who were convinced that Armageddon was to take place on one of the days we were there, and the only place in the whole world that would survive was this particular island. They holed themselves up in a hotel they'd group-booked, then reappeared the night before the Big Day and went wandering around the town. Needless to say, Armageddon didn't actually take place. What we wanted to know was: - How did they get back home? One would assume they got one-way tickets. - Once they got home (if indeed they did), did they have anything left to go back to? Or had they told their bosses to shove it, sold the house and spent all the money on one hell of a party? - What DID they get up to in that hotel in the few days they disappeared from view??!! All I can say is keep scanning farmanimals.ebay.com, Lanny, something's bound to turn up sooner or later. Eric |
