Emps tegi vigurit täna jälle. Luges minu ostetud raamatut ja kiitis, et päris huvitav, ei olegi mingi halleluuuja, nagu tutvustuse järgi arvas olevat. noh, kui keegi naljast aru ei saanud, siis sõna hallleluujah ajas mind pidevalt naerma. Oma tütart mitteusaldav ja eelarvamuslik vigurvänt!! (nali).. haaahaaaa
Täna siis saatsin Marile sõnumi kaa, tüüp on kuskil saare peal, mis ei ole Teneriife ja helistas mulle päris ruttu tagasi. Arvas, et luiskan väitega, faktiga, et Lennnnnnnny oma soliidse ngri jalakese meie kodumaale tõstab. .. ja ..mina.. pean selle raha kuskilt välja võluma ja tervele seltsile piletid ostma. kaks piletit. On kellegil mulle tööd pakkuda? Mis siis nüüd on. Täna lahati kuskil tunnis K*rme*i õe pornograafilisi pilte. See tuli lihtsalt jutu sisse. meie ootame ju kaa ammulisui taevast alla kukkuvat raha. .. kui mingi jama nende komadega on, siis ära jumalaeeest arva, et meil suud ammuli on! Ikka rahal, sest tema ju kukub kõrgelt kõrgelt, jumala helge käsi on ta hüljanud. Ja siis ta on nii suures imestuses ja samas.. see, mida ta teeb, kukub, pakub talle veel suuremat imestust ja tuul ja kõik need muud tegurid.. Meie oleme ametis raha kinni püüdmisega, suud on kinni. Sest raha ei tohi räpaseks saaada!!! isssand halasta!! See veel puuduks, et raha suhu kukuks. said õieti aru, raha ei tohi mustaks saada.
Peopäeval tehti meie majas erilist palagani. Tegelasteks artist van kass Teysy ja tema vapper assistent, kondiväänajast hiireke, kes oli juba enne showd rituaalse köögi-mürrrgliga jumala palge ette saadetud. Tegelikult oli asi üpriski brutaalne, me olime sunnitud olema valvsad, et pillutavaga mitte vastu vahtimist saada. Ilma naljata! Suuurejooneliseks lõpetuseks krõbistati kaaslane kaduma.
Ma säästsin teid!
