Jarrod, is it true the  organizer of Oztec 2000 is the local head of TDI? Is
it true that he is a deep air fan? Is it also true that he was on the boat
when Rob Palmer died?
Is it true that this Oztec had Batman as its star speaker last year, and
that this year they have his wannabe little brother and a list of strokes
that would bring tears of laughter to an American audience?

JJ, sounds like you got lucky. Unfortunately , anyone who wanted the real
deal got fucked, but then if anyone thought they were going to get any
different out of TDI, well then they need to see PT Barnum.
