The Eyes Have It
SCENE: A cafe in Tallaght.
THE GURRIER and THE GIN LADY sit at a table, drinking coffee. A conversation drifts over the quiet hubbub of the cafe.
LADY 1: Yeah, I’m gettin’ mink eyelashes put on.
LADY 2: Mink?
LADY 1: Yeah, they’re mad expensive so they are, like €200.
LADY 2: €200?
LADY 1: Yeah, I want the pink ones though.
LADY 2: Pink, mink eyelashes?
LADY 1: Yeah.
THE GIN LADY: (O_o)
THE GURRIER: (O_O)
THE GIN LADY (whisper): How do they get the eyelashes off the mink first?
THE GURRIER: (@_@)

It involves dim, back rooms, payments to grim looking men, and chinchillas. Don’t ask for details.

Gods! Can they really have found the legendary Pink-bellied Mink of the Amazon basin? Mustela roseus!
It was a much whispered-about thing among the Minkers of old. They say the conquistadors brought one back for the King of Spain and he was so enamoured by the creature that he had it baptised by the Pope and took it as a wife. And it was a boy mink.
This startling new development changes everything.
