THE BRUSSELS POST, ;r•-ity 26, 1978r-- r
Obituaries..'
When you are going on a trip, your first
hope is that you will get there in one piece,
preferably the fairly large piece in which you
began the trip. Not a lot of little ones.
Your second hope is that you will not be
hijacked. Or, at least if you are, that the
hijackers will insist on landing on the island of
Bali, where the terrified hostages 011 be
comforted by nubile, young• bra-less, topless
ladies, waving fans and things around tpkeep
them (the hostages) cool.
Another vague hope is that the airplane gets
off the ground. It didn't help our frame of
mind when one didn't recently at Torontb
airport, and instead wound up in a ravine.
Then, of course, it is to be hoped that once
the thing gets into the. air,, it returns to terra
firma. This is fairly important, they 'tell me.
Next, it's rather essential that you have a
place to lay your jet-lagged head when you get
there. Marriages are made in Heaven, it says
somewhere. Divorces are made when the•
room clerk says, —Sorry, sir. Your reservation
definitely states August 15th, and this is July
15th. We haven't a thing for the next two
weeks." This experience is far, far worse than
being left at the alter.
It's basic that you should leave behind
instructions for the disposal of your property,
in case you are kidnapped in the red light
district Of Hamburg, or, in, the case of wives.
decide to run off with the one-eyed
Afghanistan pilot you met in the discotheque
in Rome.
We've drawn up a list for just that purpose.
Kim gets the grand piano. Hugh gets the
lawnmower and the color TV (they have some
great programs in the jungles of Paraguay).
Kim gets the lawn sprinkler for The Boys to
run through, their favorite sport., My sisters
get the old beds we outfUmbled them for when
my mother's estate was being divided. My
wife's sister gets the huge linen tablecloth
'''with-the wine-stains that won't come out. And
so on.
Another thing, you should look, after before
you commence a trip is to get well rested.
Maybe that's why I'm taking off this afternoon
in a bus with a lot of hooligans to drive,
round-trip, 200 miles and watch a doulbe-
•
header baseball game featuring the worst
major league team in the world, Toronto and
arriving home at 2 a.m. Four hours on the bus.
Four hours in the grandstand. After a day's
work. "You're crazy", my wife said,
unequivocaly. She's right.
It's extremely important, when you re
packing, not to leave out anything vital to your
well being. Make a check-list: laxative pills,
tranquillizers. stuff for athlete's foot, piles
ointment, dandruff killer, a travel iron to press
out the furrows on your forehead. And soon..
Naturally, you need six dictionaries:
Canadian-cockney; English-French; French-
German: Schweitzer-Deutsch; Toronto-
Italian; Joual-French. And so on.
Let's see. Oh, yes, you need money. When
the Europeans came to Canada first, they
brought lots of coloured beads, and received
in return for them prime furs, good -as gold.
When CanadianS visit„ Europe.- they take
choking great rolls of banknotes, and receive,
in return for them —you guessed it— colored
beads. Seems fair enough.
Let's have another look at that list. Uh.
Yup. Electric toothbrush. Extra denturs in
case of breakage. Hair dye. Three quarts of
underarm deodorant, Toilet paper. 12 rolls.
Adhesive tape for blistered, heels; Seven-iron
to practise golf swings while waiting for
audience with Pope. Booze. Hey, where's the
booze? Heard a guy had to pay $45 for a quart
of rye when the ()Whiners played hockey in
,Holland last winter.
Wait a minute, now. Have to call the cops
and listen to their amused snorts when I, ask
them to keep un eye on the house while we're
away. Leave the house key under the
-eleventh stone on the patio. We'll never find it
when we get home,. Cut off the newspapers—
sure sign you are not home when there arc
forty-twoPf them on the porch. Put out some
ant traps to make sure, they haven't
demolished entire house while we're away.
And so on.
You know something? My wife may be
crazy, as 1 suggested here recently, but she's
not dumb. She never wanted to go on this trip
in the first place. All she wanted to do was
have anormal summer: - swimming; playing
golf; picking berries; enjoying 'the grandboys;
nagging me about the weeds.
Well, by George, we're going anyway, and
she can lump it. As long as she doesn't lump
me. Your're nobody unless you've been to
Europe. That is; of course, unless you've been
to Newfie; Then you're O.K.
My greatest consolation is a line from a
letter my son wrote on my birthday,
"Tribulations, frustrations,- rotten kids and
neurotic.spouse. All these things shall pass
away,"
Thanks, Hugh, l needed that.
