Miami Vice and a shrubbery

Miami

We have relocated from Ft Lauderdale to South Beach, Miami in prearation for the boss's visit this week. There was a big effort made towards ball cleaning and general getting readyness. This sounds simple but is a huge task. Especially when the security guard at the access gate to the facility is refusing to allow any service vehicles to the boat. Must be something to do with the clear lack of space on the quay.

The international diplomatic negotiations with the said security guard broke down completely when I decided that a delivery of flower arrangements would poesy no threat to international security and would easily make it to the ships gangway by driving straight past the fat controller. How wrong I was!

The funny part of this storey is that the cops were called! I had suggested that the security guard call 911 but instead of the Miami Vice he should call for an ambulence because I thought that his, short, fat, over zealous, American heart was in great danger of having an attack ! All over a bunch of flowers!

Luckily the police got to the root of the problem, they rose to the occasion by sending two patrol cars, Starskey and Hutch were both there! I think that they were amused at the bunch that stood before them. This seedy affair was soon sorted out and the flowers look lovely.
