where in the world is John Long?
The truth must out.
It’s time to reveal what’s happened to Calgary’s most wanted man.
John and fellow rogue Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers leaders are believed to be hiding near the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan’s Federally Administered Tribal Areas.
Though never officially married, John has fathered roughly 25 or 26 children. To his credit, he financially supported some of them through investment earnings and profits from his many electronic engineering patents.
John believes that the restoration of standards in the IEEE will set things right in the world, and that all other religions/philosophies/engineering societies—”pan-Arabism, socialism, communism, democracy, engineers for electrons”—must be opposed.
To that end, John plans to stay in hiding until elected President of the IEEE.
I thought I saw John Long two days ago in Waterton Park. We were waiting for the MV International to ferry riders over to the Crypt Lake trail head and on to Goat Haunt, when I saw the familar lanky, bearded man-of-few words making his way up the gang plank.
“Johannes,” I yelled to him, recalling one of his many nick names.
I was astounded when he turned and began berating me in a German/Dutch volley of curses that at first startled, and then horrifed, the vacationing Miami Beach matrons trying to board the boat.
Maureen and I chose to stay ashore as the boat pulled away. I can only imagine how the nervous tour guide incorporated this bizarre scene into his droll discussion of how plate tectonics had placed older sedimentary rock atop of the younger.
Onward.
