A jungle clears to a stinking crocodile-infested pool where an imposing man stands on a giant’s lotus leaf hypnotising a toad.<\/p>\n
‘Imbibe from this horny toad my western ghost, and its blood will flood your skin,’ booms the ego that is Doctor Jones.<\/p>\n
His pygmy assistant, Axel Rose, leads an ailing Missionary towards the radical, magical Doc.<\/p>\n
‘I don’t think I can go any further, Master Axel,’ whispers the Missionary.<\/p>\n
‘Shut the feck up you custard coward, and step your hush puppy soul on the crocodile path that leads to his enlightenment,’ growls the miniature assistant.<\/p>\n
‘Axel, bring this pale shadow into my light,’ orders Doctor Jones.<\/p>\n
A sharp spear into the back brings the Missionary down to Doctor Jones’s feet.<\/p>\n
‘Stand up to me as a man and suck my toad’s juice,’ commands Doctor Jones.<\/p>\n
The Missionary swallows and retches and swallows.<\/p>\n
‘Monkey run, monkey talk, monkey done a bad, bad do do,’ chatters the Missionary. ‘Monkey chop sticks, monkey chops, monkey stink chops, monkey stick stinks, monkey done a bad, bad do do,’ he continues.<\/p>\n
‘Monkey, what’s with the monkey all the time!’ shouts Doctor Jones. ‘Just spear the fool, Axel, I can’t take much more.’<\/p>\n
‘Monky, munky, moonky, manky, minky, my monkey done a bad, bad do do . . .’ screeches the Missionary as he jumps like a chimpanzee into the centre of the pool. <\/p>\n
