I'll take 18. (The wife's been on my back about adding sophistication to the war room. I keep telling her that's what all the heads on spikes are for, but nooo...)

All orders confirmed. Elite-Corp intends to use this money to buy a van to allow the Chairman's wife to go grocery shopping to the local market.

This is ingeneous. Furor Atlantis will take 5 to bring to the department of marketing to see if it is on demand. Then we plan to resale 500,000 within the country.

We request different variations. A disco theme, or some tropical pineapples and coconuts perhaps?


A five-dollar bill has been put inside a tiny remote controlled plane and is being flown over to your office window. I assume the window is open, so the plane can swoop in and drop the five dollar bill on the table

"Let me get this straight," the Lord Commander said. "You want fruit for our warships. Not even real fruit--plastic fruit. Isn't that a little tacky?"

The War Minister was steadfast. "The fruit will add some spirit to our naval forces. Morale will improve, and with it, our military might."

"You know those bowls of fruit will just get knocked off their tables when our ships hit rough seas," the Lord Commander said.

"We'll glue them down or something," the War Minister said.

The Lord Commander sighed. "Whatever. I--I don't even care. Go ahead and put in an order for a thousand bowls of plastic fruit. It's not like we can't afford it, with our economy being so robust right now."

His sarcasm was lost on the War Minister, who immediately ordered one thousand decorative bowls of plastic fruit.

DontPissUsOff
30-07-2004, 14:42
Oh yes, I forgot the Admirals. We'll take 225,000 Admirals too, that way we can position them on opposite sides of the bowl so they appear to be doing something useful.

OOC: What's going on here, Dyelli? Did you run out of merchant ships to raid? I've got some old ones sitting in some harbors I don't use. I can put some political prisoners on there and set them adrift if you're in that dire need of something to do!

Vastiva seconds the request for different variations. Peaches are big down here, also plums. And can we get a quote on bowls of plastic dates and figs?

200 USD is sent for 200 bowls of plastic fruit.

They are of course real humans. They have however been specially selected for their mental 'backwardness' a trait we at Elite-Corp believe to be essential in all high ranking officers,

-------------------------------

We are sure we can add the mould effect to all available models of 'bowl' or admiral' however it will be costly.

Price: One cocker spaniel.

-------------------------------------

Elite-Corp wishes to confirm all orders. We are very excited at the popularity of our products. We wish to announce profits are being directed into research into the new range of "World Leaders and their Pets" due to be released soon.

"An Admrial for five bucks?"
"Yes Naval Marshall..."

"God let's hope the finance minister doesn't hear of this. I'll wind up with a bunch of low IQ twits...and have admirals cleaning toilets."

I would like a moldy version of the bowl, a moldy Admiral MK1-3. That should be 6 dollars, four cocker spaniels, an egg, 5 chocolate dubloons I got for christmas(I decided they were worth 12 because they are ALSO moldy), and that's all. :D
