My fans have been requesting more information about the mysterious salt shaker. So I will continue with the story as far as I can without incriminating myself.
It was a sunny day. 32c degrees and we had just ended a long scouting mission through the hills of Comino. We were thirsty and hungry and only one of us had any money. Rudolph. After the salt shaker incident Trudy and I were left wondering if he had miraculously created this money by the wave of his hand. But let us get back to the story of the shaker.
We were at the beginning of a very well cooked Maltese meal. A hamburger and chips. We wanted salt....... Rupolph, the leader of the expedition reached for the shaker. He shook it. Did he get salt? No. Did he get Pepper? No............... He got Rice. Yes, the food to feed the world. Trudy and I tried to explain that people often put rice into a salt shaker because it stops it from clumping, but Rupolph would not hear of this....... No, he had intended for rice to be thrown from the shaker. Had he wanted water, this also would have been delivered.
So now, the miraculous shaker lives here with me in Sydney. There to stay and to be used whenever I am short of rice.
