So, being at the top of the management potential tree in CASA qualified him to be a dunny cleaner in the Panamanian system, but he soon worked his way up the ladder to ......

.... climb out of the Panamanian Long-Drop (cleaning the sides of a long-drop is hard yacka) and he progressed up to the cleaning of basins, urinals and those endless towels which in Panama are changed, whether they need it or not, every 5 years, so the same duration as a Corvette fan belt.

 

But Kev schemed & back-bit hard, so he was soon ......

 

An Endless Towel in a dunny & on its way around for the 45th time.

.... that the AUF Morse Code Sub-Committee (the MCSC) had put a motion on this to the Board, a very slick & professional proposal had been received from Turbine Blechley Park Code Breakers and Makers Inc, which was basically to simplify the Morse Code by removing all of the dashes as a money and time saving initiative ("The dashes are a pain in the bum, and very expensive, plus are harder to carry around, as they are many times bigger than the dots" said Turbo in a promotional video), and it was proposed to rename it the .......

.....Terse Code, with the leading capital "T" used as a nod to Turbo's input, and the word itself well known as the definition for sparseness in the use of words.

 

What wasn't well known of course, is that Turbo is also a man of few words, so when he speaks, one has to ensure one doesn't miss a word anywhere. This character trait long ago deemed him entirely unsatisfactory for the primary qualification required to become a politician, so Turbo was denied a life full of excessive pay levels, free bar tabs, free business-class travel, and lots of kickbacks, along with general public opprobium.

 

However, Turbo made up for it, by going into the business and corporate world, where excessive pay levels, free bar tabs, free business-class travel, kickbacks, and general public opprobium still ruled, so it was all good.

 

Turbo appeared as the primary speaker at a major conference one day, and after he cleared his throat, he launched into the start of the talk with a joke, as all good public speakers do.

However, due to Turbos trait of using as few words as possible, he told a one-line joke, and condensed it into 3 words - which left the audience scratching their heads, and..........
