Leaving Egypt.

You may recall that I wrote a story some time back about Moses and the Jews leaving Egypt and the trials and tribulations they suffered during their time of enslavement in Egypt. But there is more to the story. So here we go:

 

  The whole thing started in western Libya when a camel train with 100 tons of bat guano fertilizer was derailed in the middle of the Sahara. Then a freighter load of herbicides, pesticides and hybrid seed got stranded in Alexandria Egypt because it ran out of bunker oil. The boat was raided by a bunch of mafia thugs and the grain carted off to Sicily to make whiskey.  The bunker oil needed to get the boat under way could not be imported from Russia because of Putin’s war.

  The Egyptians planted what seed they had left over from the last year’s harvest.  It was not a hybrid seed, so, combined with the lack of the bat guano fertilizer, the output was small, and the people were starving.  The bugs and weeds were overtaking everything because of the lack of chemical control.  To top that all off a red dye factory upstream in Ethiopia on the Nile suffered a catastrophic leak in a storage tank and the Nile turned red.  That dye was meant to be used to give the Burka worn by all Muslim women in Egypt its distinctive red color.  The factory never recovered and since that time the standard burka has been dyed black

  The P-Man was at his wits end and the soldiers and the people were restless.  The P-man gave the soldiers the day off, so they took their horses for a swim in the Red Sea.  They did not bother to take along any life vests and We all know how that turned out.  After the swimming debacle the P-Man canceled plans for a Labor day holiday for the citizens. 

There were also several boat loads of granite being shipped from Vermont that were meant to finish off the top of the Great Pyramid. Those boats were torpedoed by a German U-boat in the Atlantic just off the Iberian Peninsula. Fortunately, many of the sailors were rescued by the Free French resistance fighters.

I remain, With tongue firmly in cheek,  Dal               There is still much more to the story
