Ladies and Gentlemen,

Walter has hit on an idea on how to solve what he calls "his" problem of tipping the camp staff when we go on safari.

He buys all sorts of little things, and keeps giving them mostly to the kitchen staff - they are the ones he associates more with, as he spends more time in the camp than any of us. And he really enjoys his food. As far as Walter is concerned, sleeping and eating are the ultimate pastimes!

As we come back in the evening from our hunt, and Walter had remained in the camp, I would ask how was his day.

"Absolutely fantastic after you have left! Why did you wake me up? Anyway, I went back to sleep. Woke up at 10 o'clock. Had a shower, went to the kitchen and ordered my breakfast. I had eggs, toast, sausages and coffee. Then I listened to the radio, and the hippos, then went back to sleep.

I woke up at 1.30. The baboons were drinking over there. Then had lunch. Only a sandwich, as I did not want to eat too much - actually I was afraid Rene would kick me out of the kitchen. She said she was preparing something SPECIAL for dinner.

Then I had another nap. Woke up at 4, got your sattelite phone and tried to call my wife. BUT, I did not know the password! Why did you lock it with a password anyway? Imagine there is an emergency!.

Got a nice cool beer from the fridge, and sat there enjoying myself before you come and ruin everything!"

Anyway, Ganyana gave me some Zim dollars, which gave Walter this great idea.

He is in the process of obtaining "millions and millions" of Zim dollars, and he is going to be tipping teh staff with Z$100,000 notes each time they serve him!

A mind like a steel trap.

He just might be better off taking a few rolls of toilet paper and handing out a sheet or two at a time. It would be of greater value and better use. And probably more appreciated.

Let us know when he gets the brainstorm to load up on shiny beads and copper wire.

There was the Big Bopper, and now there is the Big Tipper. I am sure that word will soon get around about his untold wealth, and people will flock in droves to the annual Safari site in country just for a look, if nothing else, at this legend among Safari hunters. This just BEGS for another picture and another caption. . . .

I know there were some guys trying to get hold of unopened "bricks" of Zim$ before the last devaluation. Just because they look cool and are supposed to be money.

Personally I would like to get a truckload of it and use it as monopoly money.

I'll take a brick of it. I'll even pay a little something for it. I like Nitro's idea.

Yep, Walter must be my hunting partner's twin separated at birth. SHOOTER spends his "hunting" days in much the same way.........and never ventures too far from the BBQ trailer!!
