As Hairy was flying to Tuvalu in his private jet, he began reminiscing
about his relationship with Warren. They had a long standing friendship based
on business. Warren was the second wealthiest man in the United States and
owned the largest insurance company in the world, Berkshire Insurance. Hairy
was the most famous high risk insurance agent in the world and had saved Warren’s
bacon more than once. Even though Warren had a war clause exclusion in all his insurance
contracts, he was afraid that Tuvalu’s “secret weapon” might not be defined as
an act of war. Just in case, Warren wanted Hairy to arrange reinsurance and use
his expertise to eliminate the risk. And Warren was concerned about the future
of the United States for obvious reasons. More importantly, Warren did not want
anything to disrupt his company’s amazing record of 48 years of 19% annual
growth!
When Hairy’s plane arrived at the Funafuti International Airport,
it had to make several passes to wake up the natives who were napping on the
runway. Natives often sleep on the runway to avoid their hot, overcrowded
houses. The average year round temperature is 85 degrees, both day and night. After
the runway was cleared, the plane landed and pulled up to the terminal
building.
The Governor General, Lakopa Italeli,
met Hairy and
took him to the Government bldg.
After enjoying a meal of coconut crabs, they got down to discussing the declaration of war.
To be continued....
