Armada parking
Aug. 17th, 2011 06:17 pmI was stuck in a traffic jam outside an office of the Samaritans today, and saw that the front of the building displayed several prominent notices by Armada Parking Solutions. Do Samaritans frequently had visited by Armadas? Do Armadas need parking solutions? Well, perhaps they do, since they are, after all, rather big, and space in ports tends to be limited.
But now I'm imagining Philip of Spain answering to an enthusiastic salesman of parking solutions. "Word is you've bought an Armada to invade England. Have you considered how you're going to solve the problem of parking in the Thames? You haven't? YOU HAVEN'T? Dear, oh dear. Well, it's not too late to salvage things. Just take a look at our comprehensive portfolio of parking solutions, yours for just... What? You've got more important things to consider? Planning for storms? Sending a master bowls player to distract this Drake fellow of theirs? If you pardon me saying so, you'd be a fool to waste your time on such things. Parking solutions is where it's at - the only bit of Armada planning a king needs to concern himself with. Ah, I can see by your eyes that you're interested. Can I come in...?"
