Another Twist in The Tale

There was a pile of green files, at least 2 foot high, all tied up with ribbon individually, and he
suddenly hit the pile with his right fist with great strength and determination and in temper
saying "why Mr. Chairman, hasn't your board here, ever agreed and implemented just one of
my recommendations which I believe your home country would benefit from?” he suddenly
slumped back into his chair as he finished his tirade exhausted and then the chairman took
over.
Very smartly dressed and in complete control and he said the following "Mr. Steveson, you've
got to realise we welcome all your financial aid and expertise in my country, however if we
do not implement any of your recommendations that is our choice and we don't have to bow
down to your countries decisions which you have given here in 45 files, thank you for all your
aid but if you’re not happy I suggest you take your aid from our country and go elsewhere”.
By the way, before I forget, Canada was giving financial aid not only to the hotel school and
supplying staff to run it, but they were giving aid also concerning farming, dams, water
construction etc, etc. but the chairman really stood his ground and suddenly Carl shouted out
“tell me why haven't you implemented one of my suggestions?” The chairmanship reply
being, “that's the Boards choice not yours”, and the other board members, about 10, clapped
him and then the last straw which broke the camel’s back (that is Carl), he said “now about
Mr Riches, why have you engaged him as an advisor when this is a Canadian project, we think
you are being really underhanded and we don't think he should be here”. The chairman then
butted in saying, “Mr Steveson do you realise we are paying for his air fares, hotel upkeep etc,
etc. it's our rupees which are paying for his services not yours, and it's our choice not yours
to dictate who we want to engage in our hotel project, you are here to advise and it's our
choice whether we listen to you or not, so please do not get uptight as you are now pointing
every minute to the pile of files in front of you”.
There was a break while everybody obviously looked at one another and was thinking “Oh
my, what's going to happen now”!!!...
Well this is what happened, he suddenly put all these files under his arm, which were all tied
up with different coloured ribbons (it appears to me that all offices including income tax
offices) had a colossal love affair with coloured ribbons around files.
Carl then walked out of the room and disappeared and the next thing I heard after a couple
of days that he was in his bedroom covered in these sticking plasters that I've already
mentioned. As Carl disappeared, the chairman grinned at me and said “what do you think of
that Mr Richeeees”, my reply being “what's your thoughts Mr chairman please, of what we've
experienced this afternoon”, he never replied, just grinned and I said “good afternoon sir I'm
going for a swim”, and I had 5 pints by the pool in deep thought!!!
