JIM GATES mutant-kangaroo hunter


Jim Gates is still looking for a Lad who will help him finish the Fence.

Background information on a little-known American nightmare: when the well-meaning citizens of Nippising, West Dakota imported kangaroos from their sister city in Australia, they unleashed a plague. The kangaroos multiplied like kangaroos, headed west to Utah and Nevada, settled down near old nuclear test sites, and mutated into giant killer beasts. Now they roam the highways in packs, striking fear into the average American.

George W. Bush's biggest domestic project, No Roo Left Inside, entails the construction of a long Fence, from the Mexican to Canadian borders, to keep all the Roos on the west side. (It's too late to save the people on that side.) Jim Gates (our Kindly Contributor) is responsible for the portion of the Fence passing through Nippising. He's underfunded, his troops are increasingly resentful, and the Roos are becoming smarter by the day.

OK you got all that? Will the Lads believe it? We half-believe it ourselves!

Dear Dr. Ahmed,
I think this was meant for someone else. I have no relations in Kuwait and no relations named Johnson. So, thanks for your offer, but I think you will have to keep looking.

JIM GATES

Dear Dr Ahmed,

Thank you for explaining. I'm still a bit confused. I have never been to Bukina Faso.

Are you saying I can collect on someone's will (John Creek? Creeks?) in another country just because he had no heir? Can anyone just do that? How can I pretend to be his relative, isn't that illegal? I have my career to think about, and I don't like the idea of doing illegal things anyway. And if I can really collect this money, how do you know you will get any of it back? I am an honest person, but how do you know that? You don't know me.

I'm off duty now, tomorrow working on The Fence. I don't know if you've heard about what's going on here. I have unrealistic deadlines and some cash would come in handy.

Well if you think we can really do this, I can arrange a bank account. I have one, but I think I should set one up over in Nippising, to avoid questions.

So, let me know the drill.

Walk Safe Roads,
J. Gates, 3rd Civilian Company


DR ALIU AHMED

JIM GATES

Dr. Aliu,

I just got off duty and read your e-mail. We did four more segments of the Fence, but we are really underfunded and undermanned and I will not make my deadline without more funds. That is the ONLY thing which made me answer your e-mail, because I'm kind of insulted. No one has ever suggested my character is "questionable". You e-mailed ME out of the blue to suggest this strange deal, so I don't know why you're questioning MY character.

As for handling the money, if it gets into my account, I can handle it. I already set up the account in Nippising, and I took off half a day to go over there and do it.

Why do you need to know about my marriage? Let's just do business. I am a captain in the Civilian Corps, with almost 20 years in. I'm stationed at HDF Sisseton where I'm responsible for 200 miles of Fence and the well being of two platoons, plus enlisted who stay on base, in total about 50 men, so I think I know how to manage.

You asked about my contact information:

James Gates (Capt.)
personal & work address:
3rd Civ. Co., 1st Batt., 5th Reg., 5th Division
HDF Sisseton (Barrack A)
Sisseton, WD 57263

But I prefer we correspond by e-mail, mail which comes onto the post cannot be guaranteed confidential. "Tax is also involve in this transaction, little expenses may arise "

Oh really? In the military we keep things straight and simple.
What fees are involved? Who eats them? You or me?

If I am upset, I have reason to be. Today's action was rough and resulted in two serious injuries, and one of the Roos got away. So now I'm short two men on the Fence line, and my Major refuses to move the deadline back. This country does not appreciate what we do. Now you say my character is questionable. If it's so questionable, why did you contact me?

Front and center, man, what do you need and when? Let's get this done.

J. Gates


DR ALIU AHMED

Dear Jim,
How are you? I got your mail , concerning the tax in this transaction, I know there may be but I donÕt know how much that may be involve, but in any case I donÕt think I t will stop us from this transaction because I have some, I told you from the beginning you sound very trusting, over the question is what I should do because I donÕt know you well, I believe that from time to time we will know each other very well,
I will like you to fill the gapes in the letter and send it to the bank as soon as possible, immediately you do that donÕt fail to get back to me, sorry for my late response it is due to the nature of my job,

Thanks
My regards
Dr Aliu Ahmed.

p.s. I am told ALHAJI means that you made a religious pilgrimage to the city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia. Is that correct? If so, I would ask you to send some kind of souvenir of Saudi Arabia to me at this address:

James Gates (Capt.)
personal & work address:
3rd Civ. Co., 1st Batt., 5th Reg., 5th Division

I don't know what kind of souvenirs they have, but anything would be nice. It is for one of my enlisted men who is a Moslem. I like to cheer up the men under my command, because they do not have much to cheer about.


JIM GATES

Dr. Aliu,

First, if you're going to call yourself "Dr" (what kind of Doctor? medical? or a PhD in something?), then call me Captain Gates. Otherwise we can both be on a first name basis. Your call.

You will have a (blind) copy of my letter to the bank (do they know about you?). I made a few changes, I am not a MR I am a Captain, also you don't seem to grasp that I'm in combat several times a week and while I have arranged the bank account and have confidential electronic communications, I can't be calling and faxing to another country. It draws attention. Maybe you haven't heard but we have a security situation here.

Second, when does the money arrive in the Nippising account. Yesterday we killed three Roos coming UNDER the Fence. They have figured out how to DIG. I told my major this is a whole new ball game, we have to extend the Fence down further, but there is no extra money for materials. I can't even afford to rent a back hoe. The people here are so typical. Waaaah, we want subsidized flood insurance, waaah, we want subsidized water, and roads, and schools, and you name it, and oh yes the best armed forces in the world, but no one wants to pay for it. They're all about the rugged individualism unless it means extra penny for a pack of cigarettes. Same with the corporations, hooray for the free market and no more government interference, but try taking away their tax write-offs and their trade subsidies and oh boy! So bottom line mister is that I need MONEY to get my job done and I don't want to hear excuses. The Fence MUST be completed.

You probably don't even know what's going on, out there in wherever you are, but the day those folks over in Nippising adopted a sister city in Australia, they sealed our doom. Forget Iraq. Forget the drug wars and the disappearing aquifers and everything else. The Roos will be our ruin.

p.s. I don't understand why the form doesn't have a space for supplying my bank account. The bank will need that. Everything's ready to go, man.

Why not sew a little confusion?


JIM GATES

Aliu,
Please explain yourself.
You seem to be e-mailing everyone on base!
Corporal Alexander came up to me in the mess hall.
He had an e-mail from YOU! I thought this was a secret!
The e-mail was different but the same story!
He wanted to know if he should answer it.
Naturally I didn't encourage him or tell him about MY e-mail.
Alexander is an ambitious jerk anyway.
Someone constantly dreaming of world domination is not healthy.
It's ordinary soldiers who pay the price.
I hope he never gets anywhere in the military.

Anyway - I thought you and I had an arrangement.
And nothing from the bank - what are they waiting for?
Maybe your form was wrong, like I said before, it had no space for my bank account number.
If you're some kid playing with his old man's computer, quit wasting my time.
Otherwise get cracking, I want this deal done.
We had another break-in and those Roos seem to get bigger every day.

J. Gates (Captain)

Well what if I don't want to, mister?

You don't NEED me again? After I set up that dang bank account?

Oh yeah and I never heard from your "bank".

Are you the low level "guyman"? No prize for you.

Maybe you thought one of the 200 other guys who got your mail here would "help" you out?
Well - our Major had us all assemble this morning after chow.
We were given a presentation all about your scam.
It turned out one of the guys in the unit was an immigrant from Ouagadougou.
He spoke to us and explained that a lot of you "419ers" are actually from Nigeria.
He was impressive - speaks three languages and is saving up for college.
As long as he keeps working on the Fence, he doesn't have to go to Iraq.
He has some vision, some energy.
You're just ridiculous.
After the assembly, everyone received a copy of "419 Ways To Have a Laugh", a new book.
Quite funny. Officers shouldn't laugh too much around their men, and I'm not too jolly anyway, but I laughed you bet.
I'm buying five copies for my relatives.
Everyone who enlists from our district will be given a copy from now on.
It's got sample letters and pictures of your bank "certificates".
After assembly, we all took the guy from Burkina Faso out for beers.
We like his French accent.
He taught us interesting words in French, like arnaque, and pigeon, which I didn't know was a French word.
My French is bad, but I'm guessing yours is too.

No more scams in this man's army.

p.s. We brought in another Roo over the weekend - a big one, with a righteous rack of horns.
We're having it stuffed and hung in the mess hall, and one of the guys suggested we put a sign under it: "ALIU".
I practically spewed beer when he said that.
Nice interacting with you, mister.

That's probably the last we've heard of him. I guess I need to be more subtle. Or something. It doesn't seem to matter HOW rude Lonslo Tossov gets, they keep coming back to him.
