Quest for the Ogopogo

Monday, May 24, 2004

A Conversation from July 2003

Alcalde: Amateurs! They didn't even use bait!

Lobo:We'll show them how it's done at Okanagan, right?

Alcalde: Benefits?

Lobo:Yes.

Alcalde: Medical? 401K?

Lobo: We offer a generous overall compensation package for anyone killed as bait in the successful pursuit of the Ogopogo resulting in the receipt of the $1m Canadian reward.

Alcalde: No deal.

I ain't doin' it without a guarantee of medical coverage (including dental!) whether or not the prize is ever collected.

I'll simply just not answer when you guys don't call!

Jose: Not a problem. Once you sign the appropriate paperwork verifying that you've been killed as bait, your accrued benefits will be paid to you. That's the Ogopogo Guarantee!

Lobo: We offer FlexBait Plus, a benefits package designed for you and your lifestyle. You can select the benefits that meet your needs and carry them with you even after you are eaten by the Ogopogo.

FlexBait Plus: Your benefits solution!

Alcalde: Sounds great! When's the next enrollment period?
