Meanwhile, back at Agroisleña headquarters....

The scene today.  My business partner goes to a couple of ministry errands for some registration permits:

b.p. "Is so and so here today for me to pick up this and that?"

concierge. " we are not receiving anyone today and tomorrow"

b.p. "huh?  any reason?"

b.p. "Why?  They have nothing to do with that!"

concierge. "to make bulk so people think that the government has plenty of qualified people to take over Agroisleña".
