Frog story

Saturday after the sports day. My co-workers and I retired to Frog, near

China Medical. One of my co-workers claims: He once used a block buster

card to get a new Canadian passport. After overstaying his Taiwan visa,

he left for Thailand. He went to the embassy and said he "Lost his passport".

He wanted to avoid the "overstay" stamp in his passport. He had only

the one piece of identification, and some kind of magic pen. He provided

two non-relative witnesses in Canada. They were contacted, they said they

knew him, they were able to provide details and he got a new passport in

two days. Good only for one year, and it had the same passport number. So

when he returned to Taiwan, the computer led the officers to say "Have you

ever "Overstayed" ?

The other co-worker began his one- up- man -ship spiel. After traveling on

visa runs 9 times with China airlines, he got a ticket with EVA. The different

airline would not issue him the return boarding pass. He then had to go to the

ticket counter in HongKong. They noticed his stamps and wanted to know

how he was making money in Taiwan. Why did he have so many landing visas?

He was put in some small room with a guy who watches him. When some

woman entered and brought a barge of questions he pulled a silver stick out of

his ass. He loves the beautiful location of Hshinju and is writing a book about the

area. All his money goes to his publisher in Switzerland and he is really taking his

time to gather the facts and develop the Taiwan adventure story. The female

clerk was so pleased she returned his passport with a 60 day visa, and a nice cup

of tea. The woman left "beaming, and gleaming from the shine". Too which the guy

assigned to watch him said " Writing a book, huh. Never heard that one before".


Guess if I want to have some stories to write home about, I gotta get an attitude

adjustment. Perhaps developing my bullshit projector. If only Cranberry would

Publish his how-to book " The Development of the Silver Tongue."
