175. Fat Cats

Fat Cat was a name given to all the big chairmen, ministers and presidents of this world who wouldn't know the difference between one and zero.  Take the managers of the collapsing London Underground: one wouldn't be surprised if they were running the damn misery from a different world.  They are not there: they take their cut, let the sordid nuisance run by itself and enjoy the sun in the Bahamas.  Do they know or Don't they? The debate is open on the Forum. For instance:  Does the chairmen of British Gas knows that during my last film shoot Map of the Universe half of my crew and cast fainted because of a gas leak?  Do they know that a herd of gas men came, smelt the gas and went away? They couldn't smell any gas.  Do they know that specialised equipment is needed to detect a gas leak?  Only after a major phone in to everyone, the press and the threat of court action, they've finally came back and detected a major gas leak.  The same week, a similar gas leak caused the death of 3 people.   "Your safe in our hands," says the slogan.    Continues tomorrow.
