Open Letter to President Fox
Brett Robson
Dear President Fox,
Hopefully you haven't been deposed in a revolution or seriously injured in an
earthquake because I want to thankyou for the most excellent banana (*) I had
yesterday (Sunday).
Recently there have been a lot of Ecuador bananas in Japan. They have a strong
slightly acidic flavour and very sweet, almost an artificial flavour. But the
Mexican bananas I bought yesterday are amongst the best I've ever had. I have
travelled all over Africa and Asia and enjoyed many fine bananas, yours are
excellent.
I only ate one yesterday and I am looking forward to another one today.
Yours sincerley
Brett

I would like to piggyback onto this and offer my thanks to Gov.
Ishihara, that xenophobic asshole, for my shiny new truck. Today was
my first day in it. Last week, during the unbearably hot weather, I
discovered that in my old truck it was actually cooler to open the
windows and pray for a breeze than it was to run the air conditioner
full blast. In fact, it was *always* cooler outside under the
blistering sun than it was inside that godawful toaster-oven
masquerading as a truck.
By way of contrast, today I took a nice little nap and found myself
wishing I had a blanket.
Thanks also for the air bag, anti-lock brakes (with the new-fangled
ASR, which also improves traction while accelerating), cruise control,
ample storage space, effective exhaust brake (and Powertard feature),
excellent sound insulation, FM radio, 7 speed transmission (no more 10
speed with a splitter), arm rest, very very comfy seat with
self-adjusting air-ride, fog lights so bright I sometimes forgot to
turn the headlights back on, electric windows, electric folder for the
passenger side mirrors, vastly improved coverage with the passenger
side mirrors, *wipers* on the mirrors, and removal of the goddamned
air valve on the back of the cab.
Maybe I should send him a banana to show my appreciation.

Do you ever haul bananas from the port? Or are bananas air freight?

Agreeing with you on Ishihara... but what has he to do with a malfunctioning
airc-conditioner?
I thought that trucks have powerful air-conditioners, or is the cabin so
badly insulated? Things like that will cause more accidents...

Yes, bananas are air freight. This is common knowledge:

Declan can't answer right now. He is awestruck by the realization that
the global transport of bananas is an apt metaphor for his own
existence.

The only reason I got a new truck is because of the new diesel engine
exhaust regulations which take effect this October in Tokyo (and
Saitama and Chiba, I think). My old truck was so old that it would be
prohibited from entering Tokyo anymore. Lots of trucks are being
retrofitted with exhaust scrubbing devices, while new ones (like mine)
have them as original equipment.
I may be mistaken, but I believe Ishihara was one of the people most
responsible for bringing about the new regulations.
>I thought that trucks have powerful air-conditioners, or is the cabin so

They are pretty powerful. But over the course of 15 years (the age of
my last truck) the air-conditioning equipment itself gets worn out,
the refrigerant slowly (or quickly) leaks out over the course of the
year. Also, the cab develops little air leaks here and there which
reduce the efficiency. My old truck was also terrible about the engine
heat coming straight up into the cab. There at the end, it felt almost
like I was frying the soles of my feet. Even if the air conditioner
had been in perfect condition, it would have trouble working well with
the engine sending huge amounts of heat into the cab.

I have no idea about Ecuadorian bananas, but I have seen on TV that they are
shipped from the Philippines.

Pictures please.
Shame you got the truck because the old one became illegal and not out of
concern for your health and ability to do the job. However I'm sure you aren't
looking a gift truck in the mouth.

and I'd like to come for a ride sometime. Let me know if you are ever going from
Kudanshita to Noborito at around 6pm on a week day. (I'll bring the CDs)

Ah. I was waiting to see how his xenophobia played a
role in getting the new truck.

Fruit flies like a banana.

If drivers had to wait for trucking companies to buy new trucks out of
a concern for the drivers' health....the truck manufacturers would
have been bankrupted years ago.

Hey, a few years ago I delayed purchasing a new car
that had air conditioning and continued to use one that
didn't through a summer here in Texas. I have some
idea. Doesn't rise to the same level, but still...
Hey, now that you don't have to worry about heat stroke,
how about a few more photo albums?

Dear Mr. Cash:
You are welcome. Actually, I didn't legislate the law because of you,
but because I couldn't stand the stinky smell of diesel fume coming out
of those trucks every morning. Anyway, this means you are here to stay
for another 5 to 10 years? Please do not forget to renew your passport.
Sincerely,
Gov. Ishihara, S.
