“Hi, Terry.”
“It’s Tony.”
“Sure it is”. What’s up?”
“It’s this ‘Arafat’s got to go’ thing.”
“Got to go, got to go, that’s why I’m here.”
“Er, in Canada?”.
“No, Terry, in the gymnasium.”
“I’m sorry?”.
“All the fat, its got to go, not an ounce of it on the body, exercise three times a day, made my latest radio address on the subject at the weekend, you know: My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do to fit inside just the one airline seat.”
“I see, shall we try the rowing machines?”
“Certainly, say do you need oxygen?”
“I’m fine, spot of jet lag, that’s all.”
“Anything else on your mind?”
“What do you think about NePAD?”
“Haven’t needed one since I started doing 100 squat-thrusts each morning.”
“Ah, yes, I meant NePAD, the New Partnership for Africa’s Development — Africa.”
“I’m in favour of it.”
“Really!”
“Provided that it’s doesn’t cost money.”
“Shall we, um, try the weights next? How are the family keeping?”
“Not too bad. They have all been behaving themselves recently. How about you?”
“Much the same.”
“I’m going for Baghdad in December.”
“I rather fancy a week or two in the Maldives around Christmas myself.”
“So what shall we tell the press about our little session here this morning?”
“We will workout all of our differences.”
