space.gif (52 bytes) Day 8 Whale Shark III - The Final Death Blow

April 24, 1999

In 1947, in a small New Mexican town, a crack squad of tour-guides, travel agents, and boat captains met in a secret meeting at the local Ramada Inn. At this meeting the team agreed, in order to boost waning travel sales, (most likely due to the world’s recent strife at the time, and the advent of the computer) they would lay out a new plan, which they called "The Other New Deal", or "T.O.N. of D." They hatched a conspiracy so grand it would go on for years undetected and they and their kin for generations to come would reap the benefits. It was to be big and dangerous, exciting and rare, subtle yet larger then life. One travel agent, by the name of Del Vanderbeek, insisted that it must have the ability to produce offspring without mating, at the whim and folly of its own choosing. "5 a year!" Vanderbeek would cry out. (Venderbeek was found, later in life, to be a few folds short of a clean sheet.) This proved to be the most successful cover-up of our time, and only at the highest ranking travel coordination level, are you given a copy of the Whale Shark Files.

We are not sure when or how but we feel that if we continue to give our time and money, eventually we too will become members of this exclusive group……………
