      The Serene Kingdom Of Woogie-Poogiestan

      Part 1.

      Just because you can do something does not mean you should. The moral of this story comes first, because it can. 

      Once upon a time in the ancient land of Woogie-Poogiestan lived the great and wise King Raja. He was bereft and inconsolable after his favorite wife, Lulu, died unexpectedly after a mean viper bit her on the left front paw. He could not even think about finding a Lulu replacement. She was a divine being, an exalted soul, a resplendent consort. There was not a new wife who could ever measure up.

      After he stopped crying all day, every day, for months, he began to think beyond Lulu to the welfare of his entire kingdom.

      What I need first and foremost is a personal bodyguard with expertise in snake charming.

      This was a tall order and he needed a head hunter to find such an individual. He found one on a Soldier of Fortune website with a specialty in all things military. Freddy FurFace came to see him personally. Raja was, after all, the King.

      Your Lordship, how can I be of service to you? Your wish is, after all, my command.

      I wish to have a personal bodyguard with expertise in snake charming.

      Fred FurFace's left eye brow shot up at a 45 degree angle. Your Lordship, can you repeat your request?

      I wish to have a personal bodyguard with expertise in snake charming.

      That is what I thought you said. Your Eminence, no job is too tough, no fee too high. I am on it!

      As FurFace returned to his office, his mind spun 365 degrees. Where in the whole wide world am I going to find a critter that fits that description? He searched his database and all files going back fifteen years. After three weeks of work, there she was, in bold print: Col. Natti Elizabeth, R.A.F, a decorated hero, with metals for valor and bravery. Vast knowledge in the area of viper vivisection, stationed in Tamil Nadu, India, for three tours of duty. He looked at the photo on file.

      Great Scott! What a Dish."

      Yes, any sexist pig might agree with Freddy FurFace, Natti was a beautiful feline, trim figure, green glowing eyes, snow white fur and perky light gray ears and tail.

      King Raja answered his cell phone and got the news he had been waiting for.

      Furface, set up a meeting with Col. Elizabeth here at the palace tomorrow.

      The Serene Kingdom Of Woogie-Poogiestan

      Part 2. Raja Interviews Col. Natti Elizabeth

      Recap: The King of Woogie-Poogiestan was in mourning for the death of his favoirte wife Lulu for a long time. When he snapped back to life he wanted a bodyguard with expertise in Snake Charming. She was found by a headhunter. An interview was set up  with Col. Natti Elizabeth.

      Your Highness, may I present to you, Col. Natti Elizabeth.  The Col. walked straight as an arrow to the King's Throne in the gold and glop palace throne room. She surmised that King Raja of Woogie-Poogistan loved over the top décor, with everything slathered in a splendiferous festoon. The furniture was right out of  the Louis of France period with all frills and no substance. The throne was 24-karat gold studded with rubies, emeralds  and black diamonds the size of car headlights. A Rose of Damascus scent permeated the air. Raja was in his everyday finery, with his lineage depicted in many banners decorating the great hall. He was in a gold jumpsuit with a black Sable cape wrapping his shoulders and on his head was a 24-karat gold crown studded with thousands of black
