Jungle is 101 fans!
Stop.
This is Mike.
Stop.
Happy to report, still alive.
Stop.
Presently held in small hut.
Stop.
Natives outside dance continuously in a circle.
Stop.
Have to go to the bathroom. (Not me, the natives.)
Stop.
Promise to post something substantive soon.
Stop.
Must get past Schweitzer Falls and the piranha first.
Stop.
Oh. Trader Sam says hi.
Stop.
Stopped by his village cafe for lunch. Prices have gone way up.
Stop.
He wanted to charge me an arm and a leg.
Stop.
Please, somebody make me stop.
Love you all.
Miss you.
Wish you were here. This hut's lonely and those natives' incessant war chant is starting to drive me a bit wacky---er, um, wackier.

You upped the price of your telegram 75% by using Stop as endpoints. Remember, it's price per word here out in the jungle as those cables get uprooted by monkeys constantly.
Good to hear from you. Guess Trader Sam is one of the original scalpers, eh?
All the best.

Welcome back!

Excellent observation and, actually, the many and varied "stops" were intended to display (to those who can actually recall Western Union telegrams) the rather dull wit of the sender---a certain skipper who shall remain anonymous!

Thank you, it is nice to be back! Still nursing some rather nasty fire ant bites. Blasted pests found their way through a gap in my tent. I thought that mound looked suspicious when we set up camp atop it. Bother.
