I’ve finally made it into the ranks of respected mouthpieces, dahrlings. Yes, Pumpkins, I’ve been deep throated. A missive has landed in my inbox which puts me in league with the Bernsteins and Woodwards of this world.
In fact, those two parking lot lurkers look like rank amateurs next to me. Thank god for e-mail. I didn’t even have to open my garage door for this stuff. There are only two problems: first, it’s out of my league. Second, it’s out of my league.
The note from Mr. or Ms. X points to an article in the Investors Chronicle which provides a basic history of Travelzest, naming the players (except for Chris Mottershead who is only referred to – twice -- as a “high flyer”. Is there a pox on his name?), their shares and the various worths of the company. Except for the tone, there is nothing suspect about it. However, X enlarges on these points intending to finger one or more players in some financial hanky-panky. Well, call me Mary, but isn’t that how all travel companies are fertilized? Don’t get me started. The honest ones don’t stand a chance. The only sexy part is mention of a possible takeover of Travelzest by Thomas Cook, or by Sunwing Vacations. What about Sears?
Anyhoo, Pumpkins, the real question here is, who is Mr. or Ms. X? And why such a hard onslaught for Jonathan?
