What if agents believe this?
After being shy on the blog all week I seem to have a lot to say today!! For those of you who do not receive the Stray Travel and Spaceship weekly newsletter you missed a gem this week. Stray has a driver/guide called James who writes a regular column for newsletter. His absence in the past month has been extremely noticeable. Nonetheless, he has come back today with avengence; read on:
Many people seem to think that I have been away on holiday but this is simply not correct! Over the last few months I have spent a lot of time at Jeff Patel’s workshop in Cambridge helping Arthur Tank (Dilmat Industries’ leading researcher) fine-tune Stray’s latest development. All new Stray passengers will have a biodegradable implant just under the skin of their left shoulder, holding their relevant travel information, including pass details. Infrared scanners similar to a bar code reader in a supermarket are being fitted to the inside door of our buses – these will download the passenger’s travel details as they enter the vehicles. This can then be accessed by the driver using handheld internet capable mobile phones. The biodegradable implants are made from a revolutionary new product using compressed potato fibres which break down conveniently after 12 months once the Stray passenger’s unlimited bus pass has expired. The drivers that have looked at our new system are grateful that they will no longer have to count their passengers after each stop – a green light on the dashboard will indicate when everyone is one board. It will also be good for the environment, cutting down the use of paper. Many thanks to Jeff and Arthur for the many extra hours you have put in to getting this idea operational.
James is obviously simultaneously extremely clever and one very freaky rooster. But you have got to wonder what an agent overseas reading this newsletter would think?
