Receiving Homage
| Submitter: | Jan Noordam |
| Description: | The Netherlands produces the best skaters of the world because it is (just) cold enough to freeze the plentiful canals, but it hardly ever snows. Therefore the older locals were dismayed by the surprise blizzard during the recent Christmas "high tea", because it ruined the ice. But the rest, including many foreigners, rushed out delightedly to cavort. It took a bit of cajoling, but eventually the Directors of ASTRON and JIVE condescended to expose themselves to the love and affection of their troops. Even so, they hid as best they could behind a flame-haired war goddess. After a few endless minutes of expert dodging, the ASTRON Director dived for warmth and shelter again, crowing disparaging remarks about the marksmanship of the younger generation. It is with great satisfaction that I can report that he was nabbed by a big soaking beauty in the neck (launched by the Director of JIVE) at the last possible moment before the door closed. |
