BOGGLES THE BRAIN

-

Confused. Our president thinks better than all of us, Local taxis may load up to 100% on short trips so you quickly get to your destinatio­n while the virus is still looking for its target. Good idea, so you are safe. Long distance at 70%, you get to your destinatio­n while the virus is still looking for the missing 30%, so you are safe from the virus. I say he is a bright spark, but with the booze he got it all wrong. Smugglers laughing all the way to the bank. Anyway, it is a stupid idea.

Taxis. 70% or 100%? Packed or jam packed? What is the difference? Apparently the width to which one opens the windows so that the viruses can be sucked out. And those who have hung onto the door handles; they must be wiped off at least once a day. Thank goodness for HD television. It feels like we have a ringside seat at this circus. Laurel and Hardy would not make the cut today.

Listening to our minister of health justify allowing the taxis to compact to 100%, one must count the words. Because that is all it is. Words. No rhyme or reason. His speech is peppered with ... he! ... eh! ... ah! ... eh! Even HIS brain can’t make sense of this idiocy. But hey, I will help you with the truth: The taxi bosses said they will destroy the country unless you fall to your knees before them and do as they say. Because they will do what they want anyway, irrespecti­ve of what you say. So there you have it. To save face, we will allow you to pretend it was your idea.
