The Never Ending Story

.....OT, with his stunning food displays from his several food vans. "Well, I never knew you were a major mobile food retailer!", exclaimed Cappy as he sampled some of OT's delicious Boulangerie food van offerings.

"Oh, it all started about 2000 years ago, when my great-great-great-great-great-great-great uncle, Josiah Track, saw this bloke in the Levant feeding 5000 people with five loaves of bread, and a couple of fish!"

 

"Josiah immediately thought up the idea of the first fish burger van in the Levant, and from there, our family has never looked back! Besides, it's so much easier to stretch the limited fish supplies out, when you have a van with an enclosed kitchen, rather than standing around in a carpenters outfit, just handing the food out, without even ensuring you get paid for it!"

 

"Since I took over the food van operations, the Boulangerie Van has been a massive hit, so much so, that..........

.....daily operations and finance controls of the First Temple of Jerusalem - thus showing that our family ancestors could even show the Jews a thing or two, about handling big incomes.

 

Of course, what is not well known is that OT's ancestor, Josiah Track, had a major financial investor to compete with, one Jeremiah Cook, who controlled all the accommodation in the Levant.

 

Yes, Dear NES readers, that Jeremiah Cook just happened to be one of Cappys ancestors, and it's not well reported that accommodation was particularly tight, right about the time a huge star appeared over Jerusalem, and because of this, people couldn't even find a room in a Cook Motel to have a baby (or even create one).

 

This fact was solely due to the ruthless control over every Levant motel by said Jeremiah Cook, who had wangled the position of Comptroller of Motels in the Levant.

This enabled Jeremiah to scuttle plans for any proposed motels that competed with the Cook motel chain, and thereby led to the acute shortage of accommodation in the Levant.

 

Shortly after JC started going to school, and not long after he learnt the basics of monopolies and "big money" control, he set about.........

....did a roaring trade using the Temple as an operating base - until the day a bearded bloke in sandals, a long frock-like costume, and with a halo hovering over him, grabbed their tables and hurled them over, thus ruining the trades for that day. The bearded bloke also yelled out something like they were scumbags for using his Dads House to do their business.

 

It puzzled the Money Changers that this bloke was claiming the Temple as his Dad's House - but hey, there's a nutter with crazy ideas in every crowd, isn't there?

 

Of course, the Money Changers suspected this violent move was all just a front to install currency-changing ATM's by the bearded bloke, so they got together and.............
