Fakhir by name but faker by nature!
I was duped!
Fakhir doesn't work for Anteater! And that's probably not his real name! I bet that's Bruce!
I found all this out when Betsy turned up at my doorstep accompanied by Mandy, another camel from Anteater's camel harem. The visit was to pick up Betsy's things. Well they are all gone including Betsy's copy of "A Camel's Guide to Midcap Investments" and her precious Starbucks mug!
Betsy was inconsolable - what with the stress of deserting me, my insensitive comments about the decline in her looks and now all her stuff gone! Well you can imagine - it was a major mop and bucket job afterwards. When a camel sheds tears, it's major flood warning time.
It turns out Betsy "met" Fakhir as we will continue to call him from now and not Bruce, which is probably his name, just in case his parents are relatively recent immigrants from Melbourne and he is really called Lachlan (what sort of name is that anyway!), in an internet chat room. (Yes I know that sentence is hard to read but I grammar checked it in Microsoft Word and all it complained about was the spelling of Fakhir - when I changed it to Faker it was OK - maybe Bill's smarter than he looks!)
In Betsy's moment of weakness, she blubbed on line. Let this be a lesson to all of you out there in Internet land - not all people are what they seem!.
On a positive note, Jumper and Bounder were both much taken with Mandy's teeth. She has recently had them cosmetically capped at Anteater's expense and they now provide a startling expanse of white when she turns on her charming smile. And I'm talking major league camel sized expanse here. This was a triumph for Atamyrat's world leading cosmetic camel dentists!
I suspect that one of Betsy's motivations in moving over to Anteater is the (forlorn?) hope that he will pay for some cosmetic surgery for her - a bit of nip and tuck. She could of course dip into her portfolio but she's not disposed to spending her own money. But I am sure it's her net worth that has got her the new shack and can't see Anteater paying for anything more than a minor makeover at best.
Anyway, they have left now and the place seems empty with just me and the two Kangaroos.
But oh dear, this has all been a long-winded personal diatribe and I had promised some more cutting edge comment!
Let's stop wittering on about where Betsy is on the map!
