United Nations petition — incomplete report<br />
to the funny farm at Hjelset right east of NO-Molde —<br />
My first encounter with the loony bin at Hjelset proceeded pretty much as be-<br />
forehand expected — never previously interned, I was certainly well prepared<br />
for the fiendish absurdities awaiting me though.....!<br />
From 1975–1979 I was an active member of the Norwegian Boy Scouts movement,<br />
and much of the time I functioned as a Scoutmaster. One of the lads I<br />
taught e.g first aid, pioneering/bivouacking, semaphoring/morsing, splicing/<br />
knotting/roping, religion, lifeline maneuvering, improvised cooking, tracking,<br />
map/compass reading, mountaineering and general outdoor survival etc, was<br />
aforesaid — Mr Jon Rune NYGÅRD.<br />
I can‘t say any of the scouts proved eminently teachable, and when Mr Nygård<br />
finally managed to learn the Morse code by heart, he was immensely proud! —<br />
as a matter of fact he earnestly recalled this ―mnemonic achievement‖ as one of<br />
his truly remarkable intellectual feats for many years onwards.....!<br />
Certainly not the brightest in my scout troop, Mr Nygård nevertheless surpassed<br />
everybody in one, distinct discipline: malingering!<br />

arrest of arterial bleeding, management of traumatic diaphragm hernia, minor<br />
surgery and emergency handling of second and third degree burns etc, Mr<br />
Nygård unquestionably was the choicest casualty dummy!<br />
Cosmetically pallid, pseudo-wounds frightfully agape and with artificial blood<br />
trickling from ears and mouth etc, he most definitely seemed death-struck, and<br />
several times persons unfamiliar with his bizarre talent for simulation indeed felt<br />
convinced they faced an authentic emergency situation.....!<br />
As Mr Nygård commenced secondary education, parts of his personality<br />
changed for the worse — he became nauseatingly stuck-up, machinating and<br />
outright mendacious. He‘d left the Boy Scouts a few years earlier, and without<br />
the positively stabilizing influence from this uncorrupted youth movement he<br />
soon proved a willing victim for the depraving impact wielded by some of his<br />
classmates. One day I accidentally met Mr Nygård in NO-Mauseidvåg, he<br />
straightaway confessed he‘d planned to harm me in one way or another. This<br />
sudden hostility was totally unprovoked and unreasonable, so I immediately<br />
