  JAKE : Wow Jack, you blow me away with your umbrella! It’s even got that fancy press button on the handle. JACK : It’s got a sharp tip too in case you haven’t noticed. JAKE: Lethal brother! JACK : Why don’t I try it on you! JAKE : As long as you let me wrap it around your neck afterwards. But that is going to damage a perfectly hot umby! JACK : It’s not mine anyway, it was hanging next to the door so I borrowed it. Can’t walk around without an umbrella in all this rain. JAKE : Are you sure it’s not the boss’s umbrella? JACK : No worries! I’ll just tell him that I was looking after it for him. JAKE: Once a thief always a thief. Let’s just hope you don’t end up at Tafaigata where you will be poked by something worse than the sharp tip of an umbrella. JACK : You trying to scare me Jake? I read about those two kids who were sodomised! But I’m no kid! JAKE : Of course you’re not! But you know what they say, ‘any port in the storm mate.’ I’m sure there are some very keen sailors looking to sail into any port during the storm, especially the virgin ones. JACK: I don’t think you should be joking about that kind of stuff Jake. I hope you’re not some kind of pervert hiding in the closet like all those other people who get their kicks out of sexual abuse. JAKE : Damn it Jack that’s heavy! JACK: …and you are a sick puppy. Maybe you should be neutered. JAKE : Listen Jack I’m not a puppy and I’m not a sicko. I’m serious now. Sexual abuse is a major. We have people working down from the grass roots of our society right up to the top, trying to clean up the mess. JACK : Where do you come in? JAKE : Wherever I can offer my support. But I would like to think that we are at an important stage of cleaning up this mess. JACK : Well that’s interesting? Please say more! JAKE : You’re a cynical bastard Jack and I ought to smack your face. JACK : Sorry Jake, I didn’t mean it to come out like that. You just raised my curiousity. JAKE : Good. So listen and maybe you’ll learn something. I believe that public awareness is at a level now where people are no longer embarrassed or afraid to come forth and report the kind of sexual abuse that has been festering in the dark corners of the villages. Credit should go to the counselling work of people like Faoiliu Wendt of Mapusaga o Aiga, Ofeira of Faataua Le Ola, Iosefa and Lina of the Victims Support Group, and even Maulolo Tavita and his army of pulenu’u. JACK: Yes I agree – they have certainly been putting in the effort. JAKE : So what we’re hearing and reading about now, is the rot starting to drip out into the open. JACK: Amen brother! JAKE: Hold you Amens Jack. There is still a whole lot of bleeding to be done before much of the rot can be rooted out. JACK : Why do you say rooted out? JAKE : We have to dig much deeper to the very heart of the problem if we want to sustain progress, and that’s a lot of digging I tell you. JACK : Well public awareness, is already flushing out rivers of stink. What more do you want, except to keep stoking the fires of public support? JAKE : What more do I want? How about a working drainage system for the Apia town area. Once again we were underwater for most of Friday after all that rain. JACK: Well you liked that didn’t you –all those women raising their skirts knee high was a sight for your perving eyes. JAKE : Jack didn’t I just spent the last 10 minutes telling you about this kind of talk from you? Humpff! JACK : Yeoww! You punched me you moron! JAKE : Give me the umbrella! Ouch! You stabbed me man. JACK : Look calm down. People are looking at us? JAKE : So what! My leg is bleeding you jackass. JACK : Well I’m not your punching bag! JAKE: I swear Jack I’m going to bleed your worse. JACK : You’re being silly, it’s just a scratch. So what about the drainage problem. We don’t have millions to fix the flooding. Apia is actually below sea level and with global warming we’re sunk for good. JAKE : Well that’s beyond me now. It’s Tuisuga’s problem, he’s the Minister of Works. He should be taking serious interest in the situation instead of wasting time on this RHD drive insanity. JACK : Hey that’s starting to stir up again. Toleafoa and his PASS group are going to Savai’i next month to meet with the folks there. JAKE : I know. They’re going to show up Terri Tavita and his Savali propaganda machine who has been writing stuff about how most of the people in the rural areas support the Government’s road switch policy. JACK : Hey I’ve just remembered this woman complaining at the Fugalei market on Friday when her stuff got washed away to the drainage by the flowing water. She was wondering why Government was wasting time on the RHD when they should be doing something about the flood waters washing farmers produce out of the market. JAKE : Well, I think I may have a solution for Tuisuga. If global warming is eventually going to drown Apia underwater, he should be looking at canoes rather than RHD cars. JACK : You’re crazy Jake. JAKE : We could become the Venice of the South Pacific! Picture it in your head Jack – the perfect solution for the RHD. We could be paddling gondolas instead and making money out of it too. Fuel free, attractive for the tourists, and several thousands of tala cheaper than those RHD or what ever. Absolutely perfect way out for the two Tui’s. JACK: Tuilaepa and Tuisuga you mean. Hey Jake, we’re you going? JAKE : My gondola is here. Ciao baby! JACK: Ciao Baby???? What the hel…..             |
