Any fool who carries coals to Newcastle and then has the temerity to ask where he can drop off his motherlode at the London Precious Metals Exchange or the nearest Retirement Home for Gold-Diggers.

The goldbrick bug began his wearisome journey on a cold, blistery, wet day. (What else would you expect if you lived in Piddletenthride and had to wear welly-boots every day or get one’s feet soaked in squishy, squashy stuff?) Anyway, to make a long shaggy dog story short, he forgot to pack his colorful map of the United Kingdom plus the distinctly vapid environs, his trusty new GPS gizmo with easy-to-read operating instructions in twenty-five languages, and a box of stale tea biscuits foisted upon him by the demented dog-catcher who lived next door — all of which meant he had a simply wretched time wearing a dead albatross named “Muggins” around his neck (given to him as a token of affection by a lost mariner), carrying a discarded pity pot (full of lame excuses he found in a back alley somewhere), and coping with a bag of jack-hammers that he had been asked to deliver to a far-flung friend of a friend who lived in a cottage with a leaking roof and four good-for-nothing robots situated two kilometers south (as the crow flies) of Affpuddle, England.
