3rd July, 2009 - Kidnapped

I mentioned a while back that I am setting up some life insurance, so that if I shuffle off my mortal coil before my time, my loved ones can have a nice big party with lots of cakes and a fatted calf and stuff.

It has got me thinking. As I am an internationally famous blogger (I have one semi-regular reader from Mountain View in California according to sitemeter), I am beginning to think that I might well be a kidnapping target. As you all know, I make millions of dollars every year from these entries, because they are syndicated to several major daily newspapers in North America. Spielberg also bought the film rights to my largely unsuccessful series “40 Cups of Tea”.

I am a valuable asset and I suspect that international gangs of criminals now realise that, if they spirit me off, my regular readers (like you) would be distraught. Just think how depressing and valueless your life would be without me.

So, can I suggest you start saving? If you all put a little bit by each day, then there is a good chance you will all have enough money put by for a handsome ransom when the time comes.
