Poor Pablo. First of all he's yanked up to the top of Chomolungma and
IRONED, and now the plan is to dump him on Mercury, a lovely place, where
human flesh would come close to melting on the sunny side up or be instantly
deep-frozen in the shade.
I hope this naming, if it occurs, will be accompanied by a commeration of
the manner of his death, when, mortally ill with renal cancer, Pinochet's
gleeboys came into the hospital ward and switched off the life-support.
Perhaps Henry Kissinger (Dr) could be invited to the ceremony.
And mebbe some PR guys from ITT.
I wouldn't want a crater to be named after me post-mortem. I'd prefer a more
human disaster area, like for instance Rotherham.
Best
Dave
