Letter from the prosecutor
by Måns, onboard the Esperanza
What do U think of when U hear people talking about the Order of Free and Accepted Masons, a Knight Templar, Lions, Mormons, Jehovah's or sparkling wine from Germany. Well, most likely the word "sect" would cross your mind. (If U prefer the sparkling wine without alko, ask for "Apfelsekt"). Some say that the definition of a sect should be: the institution of an elite, standing outside the social reality and most often in opposition to it.
The other day, a beautiful day it was, I was waiting for the great game to commence. Bad weather and injured players had delayed the game a couple of weeks. The Mighty White vs The Bottlers. U know, sharks and dollys, they don't fancy each other very much so it was some kind of a derby, I would say.
Merry and loaded I took the aqua express for a great game like this, I was not to be stopped by anything. Then the King called me...he needed my help. What could I do? it's in my contract as the royal prosecutor to stand by and for what so ever fulfill my obligations when the King and Queen call me.
And what should I see but another ship full of happy campaigners without any clue of basic rules when it comes to Equator crossing without permission from King Neptune. It was my duty as the royal prosecutor, the action I took and in virtue of my office I had them all charged and what a good time we all had!
They did have a law twister there, but I tell U all; not even O.J. Simpson's lawyer would have been able to save their arses, he he he.
There is some kind of a myth around when it comes to line crossing, therefore my intro about sects. But there is no equals sign between becoming a member in a fancy sect and being baptised (obtain the Shell-back status) by King Neptune. As a fact, if U cross U can not and shall not escape from Neptune. U don't have to hold an office as a lawyer or a president or a prime minister, or a king(!!), or a queen(!!!!), or a noble don't even have to be a Jaguar owner. No man nor women will escape, therefore we wait for you all and give you the pleasure to enjoy!
What happened that day I will not reveal, just come and cross....
By the way; The Mighty White won the game. 5-2!!

Victory to the mighty white, the most exclusive club.
