Venue: Kajang Shooting Club (Lapang Sasar Kelab Menembak Kajang)

Unclear about the concept, Soon Hooi Lyn made the mistake of relying on Kwailo co-hares to help her set a short run for ladies.
First runner Peter in 1 hour 57 minutes.
The chief co-hare also unclear about the concept added to the run length on the day because he thought it was too short.
First runner on the long run, Gay Boy in 2 hours 20 minutes.
So a good on-down according to the GM. The run was widely enjoyed with terrain overcoming length.
It was good to see so many Plonkers still Corked after their last Sangria barrel was emptied only twelve hours before the run started.
First check was an easy back check, so why were so many hashers checking forward and sideways in all the wrong places?
Second check had short-cutters being assisted up vertical banks to get onto the trail. Technical adviser David Wilson was saying that he had shown the hare two options and didn’t know which option had been taken on the day. Typical consultant doesn’t know anything useful when it matters.
Third check down a very steep and longish slope then left to the check. All those who stayed at the top and did not go down the slope were pleased with the hare’s sense of humour and their own choice, since by contouring round they met the trail eventually.
No more checks spotted, nor for that matter the split between the long and short runs. The signs were variously thought to warn against High Voltage, Lightning, Angry Gods or Co-Hares.
Only five runners completed the long run with the last man in, Paul Kirkman, complaining about non-joining of checks. When did kiasu Gay Boy ever close a check?
After finishing the Plonkers’ leftovers the GM called the circle and called on his appointed Bomohs.
Paul Johnson was up first and he immediately brought up the co-hares who had increased the length of the run on the day. Good charge.
Next was Isaac who it is said is a fresh fish; that is in some doubt, calls of how old are you, how rich are you and how long is it went unanswered. Isaac was however accused of smelling bums so maybe he is still interested.
Next up were the still corked non-runners whose hangovers prevented them from standing, never mind running. Rita and Juliana among others.
Paul Smith a welcome visitor but soon to return from Miri.
Paul Kirkman’s English has lapsed into patois, as he called up four corked ladies from the night before saying, “there is four ladies,”only to be reminded by howls of derision that it should be, “there were four ladies!”.
Paul Smith also informed us that the biggest cache of arms found in Malaya during the communist insurgency was found only 600 yards from the Rifle Range gates where he was talking, pointing to the gates.
Full of useful information as he is, Paul will have more time to research colonial history as he will shortly be between contracts again. Being part of the solution means one is frequently out of work, Paul, there is more money to be made by prolonging the problem.
