by FAX droid #56 Desperate fruit growers in the state of Florida have called upon the services of world famous psych-botanist Paddy O'Gellan to help their troubled orchards. "Yeah, they wanted me to whip the tired trees back into shape, as if I'm some kind of parade ground sergeant major," O'Gellan told this newsbot. "But," he pointed out "too many decades of abuse from picker drones, and their forcible addiction to various unsavoury chemicals, have left these poor sinensis in a bad very way." Did he have any success with them at all; this unit's program was prompted to ask? "Well," he drawled, "a number of the high-yield Satsuma rows have responded favourably to a recorded pep talk from the Vice-President, but other than that..." Mr O'Gellan left abruptly, to attend to the disc player that his citrus 'patients' had apparently grown weary of listening to. |
