With TERRORISM being the buzzword of the decade it would seem that the factional few who are out there to recruit new members are finding it harder than first thought.
Case in point lies on the back of the hard plastic moulded seats in one of the many Cityrail carriages. An organisation known as 'Terrorism NSW' advertised their phone number - 041* 1** 9*0 - in faded marker green. As The Wax are in the hunt for truth and a good time it was investigated.
It is not a number for a terrorist recruitment cell operating out of the bowels of a seedy Sydney underground. It belongs to a man—accent of a foreign nature, as everything is foreign in these times of overt fear—who had been fielding such phone calls during the month. A variety of other such associations with the number include the upcoming Gay games, homosexual favours and acts of an illegal nature.
When asked whether or not he had thought about cancelling his mobile plan the response was a sheepish, "Yeah, I've thought about it." This would lead one to postulate the possibility of a new terrorist cell emerging through the clueless ranks.
It has before.
