Mrs. Fred is ...How about this? Picture the scene. <br /><br />Mrs. Fred is at home grieving the loss of her beloved husband. She's drowning her sorrows with a large glass of Cabernet Sauvignon whilst perusing Fred's investment portfolio and counting the cash tucked behind the Chicken shack. Suddenly there's a noise from the bathroom. She goes to investigate, picking up her trusty machete on the way. Flinging open the bathroom door she raises the machete and stepping into the steam filled room she shouts: <br /><br />"Who dat in dare? Come on out or I is gonna come in swingin."<br /><br />"What's de matter wid you woman? Why is you shoutin n hollorin?" says a familiar voice. <br /><br />"My God! Fred! Is dat you? I taut you wos dead."<br /><br />" What you talkin about woman? I jus bin in de shower is all."<br /><br />I know it seems a little far fetched but I'm sure it could work. In fact I'm surprised non of the big Hollywood soap operas haven't thought of using this story line before now. :-)Stephen Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868582245203627701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152572458899289416.post-73675453273508572402014-04-10T22:06:37.259+01:002014-04-10T22:06:37.259+01:00Ooo, goody!

Well, if President Fred is not to be resurrected, the rise of a credible pretender - possibly one of the recently unemployed presidential body doubles - seems to present a plausible future narrative.<br /><br />But how persuadable will Mrs Fred be that her late lamented is not so lamentably late after all? This question (which I won't even attempt to answer) opens up a whole swodge of possible future narratives, especially coupled with Arthur's suggestion...<br /><br />Looking forward to see how this plays out. I'm still barracking for the Cubans... :-)<br /><br />Cheers,<br />IonArchduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152572458899289416.post-51965069532634721702014-04-10T21:21:55.513+01:002014-04-10T21:21:55.513+01:00Inspired!

So here's a suggestion.<br /><br />create a dodgy charismatic cherch with an even dodgier pastor, name him after some currency, like, I don't know, maybe the Kwacha - full name and title His Holiness The Bishop Doctor Kwacha Jones Mafuta (means big 'n fat) cos' you see, we need a resurrection miracle. And the effect on his congregation will be awesome, especially when it comes to loosening the wallets.<br /><br />Here's hoping.<br /><br />RegardsArthurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029799270661710049noreply@blogger.com
