Title: OUTRAGE IN JHELOM
Author: Staff Reports
Lord Kendal�s diplomatic
visit to Jhelom did not
begin auspiciously. Kendal
told his welcoming
delegation, �I didn�t
come here for my health.
I can think of other ways
of enjoying myself.� He
then asked, �Aren�t
most of you descended
from pirates?�
On a tour of the city, Kendal shared more of his thoughts:
- Of the library:
�Jhelom has a library? Whatever for?�
- Of the performing
arts center: �It�s a vast waste of space.�
- On meeting a
Britain-born Jhelom woman: �You can�t have been here too long, you still look like a woman.�
- On visiting Jhelom�s
graveyard, �I guess not ALL your warriors do so well.�
- Of the tropical
northwestern Jhelom island: �This is what I thought the entire town would look like.�
Kendal did show some sympathy for his hosts. �We have that problem in Britain too,� he said of Jhelom�s protestors. �The peasants were saying they wanted more leisure time. Now they�re
complaining they�re
unemployed.�
It is a mystery how Kendal came to be chosen for the mission, particularly in light of his comment at a Merchants� Guild meeting last year: �People think there�s a rigid class system in Britain, but dukes have been known to marry whores. Some have even married girls from Jhelom.�
Lord Kendal is expected
to offer his apologies
this evening, at a meeting
with Jhelom�s military
leadership.
