Diplomats are not like you and me.

Our Perthville Diplomat dreams of superhero feats and being a crusader for world peace.

He has a plan, hatched in a day dream, to escape the media in an aeroplane dangling from a rope ladder. The destination of that plane is unknown, but anywhere away from the Paparazzi is a good place. In his mind, these chasing journalists don’t appreciate the good work he can do for all mankind.

The plan develops. His rope breaks and he falls without a parachute. He thinks of The Penguin, who always seemed to lose out to Batman. He meets Death on the way down to earth and yells at Death to go away as he will change his life and genuinely pursue peace and not his own egotistic goals.

Death responds: ‘What makes you think you deserve a second chance? You lot never gave one to the penguins.”

Our diplomat wakes in a sweat. He thinks, “Yay, I survived the fall.”

In immense gratitude, he promises himself that he will start a ‘Save the Penguins’ movement and promote ‘Happy Feet’.
