The Vogon Constructor Fleet 05-01-09 mpg Demolition by Israel for lacking permits: ‘60,000 Palestinians at risk of losing homes’ A quote...."JERUSALEM: At least 60,000 of the 225,000 Palestinians in Israeli-occupied Jerusalem risk having their homes demolished by the Israeli authorities because they were built without permits, a UN agency said on Friday." Yes, no doubt back in the Twelfth to Fifteenth centuries the Palestinians didn't realize they needed to obtain blessed permission in triplicate from the non-existent Israeli government to build their own homes on their own lands. It makes this website editor think of the novel and TV series (don't see the movie) called “Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy”. It would be really nice - a joy in fact - if someone just like the Vogons, as hilariously depicted as they are in the story, would one day descend upon the Jews of Israel in their "Constructor Fleet" Appearing suddenly overhead, darkening the sky with their huge fleet of ships, blasting and booming their messages with their atmospheric-vibrating, force-field-generated, mega-phones, they would brusquely inform the Israelis.... "Per notice 27836-slash-270-zed-stoke-DED....The lands you are currently living on have been condemned and were slated for demolition several months ago by the Galactic planning board for the construction of the new, much needed, long planned for, Glaxo-Trans™, hyper-spatial link through the Middle East." They would than inform the Israelis that "This construction is being carried out under Statute 276-B-slash-726-DENY because you made no attempt to follow your appeals rights." After perhaps hearing something broadcast from a radio below, no doubt in complete panic, the Vogon announcer would than squawk back in irritation, "It's simply too bad you primitive peoples didn’t avail yourselves of the opportunity to appeal this entire process by reviewing the standard 24435-OPS notice we had quite helpfully", and he would add with a certain heavy emphasis...."and quite legally"....then resume in his normal gravelly voice,” posted back at our main office on the Vogon home world" ....which, to let all you readers know, was about one hundred and fifty light years from Earth. "If you primitive peoples can't even bother yourselves....", he would than add in a disgusted, bored and contemptuous tone of voice while the Vogons prepared their massive, mile long, Constructor Ships for the task ahead, "....and take the time to review our proposals when we post them, well....you have absolutely no right to complain and only yourselves to blame". He'd than state with utter finality, "You have five minutes to vacate the premises.” Than grumbling and complaining loudly to each other saying things like, "What a bunch of stupid, lazy, good-for-nothing, ungrateful savages", and not even waiting the required five minutes because they all had a lunch break coming up, they would begin the demolition process with their blindingly bright, incandescent, disintegration rays. It really would be quite enjoyable. – mpg |
