The Plus Side of Cyclones

My solicitor received a curious letter today. I can't reveal its contents, but will mention that my article on the connection between cyclones and personalities has been revised in the light of further information. Instead of...

"Hurricane Rob was blustery, annoyed millions of people all over the place, and ended up dumping water over many of them."


I will now say this...


"Hurricane Rob was a unique storm, responsible for an amazing series of fortunate events: he provided a perfect tailwind for the World Athletics Championships, allowing athletes to set a series of world records; he extinguished a series of wildfires in southern Europe by blowing the fires back onto themselves; his rain saved many a crop from drought; he rescued a puppy called Mungo that had fallen off a yacht by blowing him safely ashore in Portugal (although sadly he was later eaten by a rabid goat)."
