AZOTUSLAND chapter Forty Three

The Rev. Tanka was giving his radio message the next day on how the Iranian hostages had been secretly held in 1981 by the KGB and how leftover Czarists had orchestrated the Flight 93 disaster on 9/11, then the design of their memorial in Pennsylvania to resemble the Red Crescent of communism.

Tanka had then begun to talk about crescent rolls and other pastries and how they were bad for your health and "teeming with da Whit-tah Shoooger" then he began to froth and collapsed in mid sentence onto the floor. Maurice yanked off his headset, jumped into the room, flipped Tanka over, then looked disgusted at the froth before administering CPR.

In line that morning Ted had been exhuberant when he saw Jim behind the counter.

"Yer an idiot," Ted said smugly.

"That may be so Ted," Jim said, "but I can get smarter and you'll always be an ass."

Alice looked up next to him and put her finger in his chest. "Ha! Sonny boy."

"I'm sorry Ted," Jim said then, and several people in line groaned, including Alice.

"Yeah, well check the site Jim," Ted said.

Manfred came by whistling a soap opera tune and Jim looked at Renata and asked how she was doing.

"Great."

Downstairs there had been a commotion. A young sculpted man in his late 20s had tried to hit on Sex and Simon had intervened on her behalf.

"The lady wishes to be alone," Simon had said towereing over the young man. But he would have none of it. "She insulted me!"

"Well let's go outside and have a walkies, okay?" Templar grinned.

When they got outside the lad took a big swing and connected on Simon's jaw.

"That all you got Sonny-Jim?" he asked and the lad ran off down the hill. Simon was still massaging his jaw when Sex came out and said she was sorry.

"Sorry?" he asked "for what?"

"Well I can be a bit of a flirt. But I don't mean anything by it."

"I know. It's just bad manners."

If you went online, or do, you can read Jim's paper. It is simple and straight-forward. You can read it in Chapter 45 for that is all there is.
