ANONYMOUS JONES
AUSTRALIAN EMIGRATION NEWSLETTER #53
SAILBOAT RACING IN FREMANTLE
Once upon a time there was a sleepy little town called FREMANTLE
on the west coast of Australia, near a sleepy big town called
PERTH. From Fremantle, a Perthian hero called John of Bertrand
had set forth on a voyage of conquest into Newport Harbor in the
Land of the Giant Yacht Club of New York, armed with a sacred keel
to which he had attached wings stolen from Mercury, the God of
Speed. Using this keel, he wrested possession of the mystical
America's Cup away from the great Dennis of Connor, the bravest
warrior of the New York Giants, and placed the Cup in a special
guarded chamber in Fremantle. Alas, the hero John failed to
guard the prize himself and instead gave this duty to a small bird
called Kookaburra. The Giants soon sent their great warrior to the
town of Fremantle to repossess the ancient Cup, and garbed him in a
magical headdress of blood-red stripes and white stars surrounded
with the blue darkness of night. Dennis smote many false warriors
who would have stolen from him his true duty, and endured the evil
eyes of the dread ESPN commentators, who placed crystal spy-jewels
aboard his vessel to drain his vital essences and profit from his
weaknesses. However, undaunted, Dennis plucked and baked the
hapless Kookaburra there on the shores of the Ocean of Indians, and
reclaimed the Cup for his village of Saint Diago in the land of the
Giants. (If this tale seems to make any sense to you at all, you are
clearly burned out and ready for a change; and what better change
than to emigrate to FREMANTLE, AUSTRALIA, the only place in the world
you can be certain ESPN will NOT be around for the next three years
to drain YOUR vital essences!)
