The Saga of Lieutenant Laserfly -- Part 12 Old sergeants don't die; just young ones!
Story continues from here.
Oh my! What a lame ending to Hopper's career! You all know Sergeant Hopper, don't you? He was Herbert Lom to Laser's Peter Sellers.
Sure Hopper started off as a genial friend, philosopher and coach. But Laser could turn a gentle old grandmother to a teeth-gnashing terror. Hopper did his best to keep his cool. But how long can one remain sane as a trainer with Laser as his ward? Major Mantis Lee is an exception of course. The long and short of it (I was just looking at his legs) was that Sergeant became hopping mad.
He was baying for Laser's blood. Sent Laser on a sure-death mission. Sent assasins after him. He did everything and more of what Chief Inspector Herbert Lom did to Inspector Clouseau. But then Laser had an author-backed role. Lady Luck rides with him. Hopper was at his wit's end.
That is when he discovered spirituality. A wonderful new world opened wide in front of him. 'What am in this for? What is the purpose of all this? Who am I trying to protect? Why am I fighting this silly war? I didn't elect to vote for this President.
'Look at all those spiritual gurus. What inspiring lives they lead. So tranquil. So detached. No trace of materialism. They may have their Rolls and Rolexes. But totally untouched by them. They have found the real secret of happy life.'
So went Hopper's line of thought. He discovered the magical blend of western hedonism with an eastern spin. What an appeal it can have! You can be a monk who sells a ferrari and gets gifted with a few. You just write a few books; just make sure it is dumbed down enough to appeal to many. Make a few Tv appearances. Growing a beard is optional. Training seminars are always a sure hit. Especially when you go out of your country. Your name shines more in foreign shores.
So my gentle readers, here is Hopper lounging around in the lap of luxury, wondering what to title his next best seller.
Any suggestions?
You first met Laserfly here. Witness all his antics and meet all his cronies, here.
