Mr. X Does Negril (2010) with No Reservations
Chapter 57 – The Ant Story
Sept 10th, 2010 - Friday – (Day 7)
The Ant Story
When I tell people how good Teddy’s food is. Conversation kind of ends after I say it’s great. So I have to tell the ant story to give proper prospective. One meal he brought me, I forgot even what it was. I woofed it down so fast. Left nothing but 1 little piece of lettuce. Only reason I left this was in my haste this piece flew off whatever I was eating and landed on floor. I am in the lower level of the penthouse eating in the shade of one of my baloneys enjoying the view. Post meal relaxation of Cigars and Cognac (or local version of). Chillin.
As I am chilling I happen to glance down and it looks like something is moving on the concrete floor near my feet. Is it the cigars or is the floor moving? I focus and realize the floor is not moving but that piece of lettuce I dropped 5 minutes ago is moving. Wtf? I am staring at a moving piece of lettuce. Somehow there were zero ants and now there are enough ants to carry a big piece of lettuce.
This piece of lettuce does not stop. It moved right across the concrete floor at a fast speed. Then they got to a rock column and they never stopped. Went right up the column, then I saw a hidden hole about the half the size of a dime at most. They went right into the hole with the lettuce. They got it half way in but no further. I am laughing at the ants. Ok dumbass ants what you going to do now. Tried to shove a too big piece of lettuce that won’t fit in ur hideout.
Damn if the ants did not back the lettuce back out of hole. Then they start walking the lettuce down the column. There is really not that many ants compared to the size of the lettuce. They go half way down the column and then they rotate the lettuce around 180 degrees and then back up the column into the hole.
When they complete this last maneuver the ants just freeze on the lettuce. They do not move. I swear they must be near death from exhaustion. Nothing happens or moves for about 5 minutes then the lettuce slowly disappears into the hole.
That was for a piece of lettuce from Teddy. 100 ants work themselves to death for a piece of lettuce. Can u image how many ants would give their life for some of that Lobster Themodore from Teddy. Biblical numbers without a doubt.
Hole in middle left.
Anyhow I am always in shock when people don’t believe all my stories. I have had my pen and paper with me whole trip and immediately wrote stuff down so I can remember all the crazy sh*t that happened this week.

it's a good report, but i dont think Mr. X is in a big rush considering the trip was in 2010, and now it's late 2011. The man obviously has his own sense of pacing!
