Captain Turk. I have to report that at about 1800 hours, while on deck patrol, a custom vessel pulled alongside, A well dressed bloke introduced himself as Captain J P Morgan and said he had an RSPC man with him as well. They were here to investigate rumors that we had a dead body on board, as well as that crew members were being cruel to a parrot and a dog.
I told him that he had been watching too much TV and that I wouldn't awake Captain Turk because he has bin laden down with work lately. He said they would be back tonight and they would surely come aboard for an inspection. I said you and what army. He said the US army. I said thats good it took the us army 10 long years to find bin laden and we could find him in a night.
I told them to sod off. Hope I said the right things Captain. Do you think we should get rid of the evidence.
A couple of reports to be made about incidents below deck but I know you bin laden down with all the troubles of the SS. Will report them later Sir.
Feel free to ask my advice at any time Captain Kirk. I use to be a pirate in my younger days. Signed Errol F....
You have done well Errol43,
Yes, I know this Morgan fellow well barely worth a dime. When they come back tonight we'll be ready with our silver bullets.
Fortunately there is no longer any evidence. Our rum-soaked corpse has turned out to be none other than Ozama Un Leaden and Dr Karlov has re-animated him with his powerful smelling salts and colloidal silver solution.
I've sent Mighty Atom up to the bridge to give Ozama a quick 60 minute makeover. We don't want him being recognized - he might have a ton of gold stashed somewhere nearby.
Dr Karlov has taken possession of poor Parrot's remains. Maggie says the doc said he has seen worse, but will see what he can do for Parrot. Captain Morgan and his crew will never find him there.
Southern Cross's execution has been *temporarily* halted.
I await your further reports with interest Errol 43.
When some've bin laden like us it's hard to focus clearly on all the day to day issues, but like Claw says, we must move forward, not backward, upward, not forward, and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom, although I do not think that means what he thinks it means.
NEW YORK is about to open!
Action Stations! Man the Harpoons! Tonight we take no prisoners.
(And definitely no more corpses!)
