Woes of a High Placed Diplomat

For some reason, of which my memory escapes me, I found myself once more, in the high court of some country (of which the name also escapes me). I was working as a top model-muse-musician at the time and was at my beautiful best.  I was introduced to a high placed diplomat and much to my surprise and honor I was told I was to be his escort during his stay at the court. We would also be sharing his quarters.

I learned some surprising intimate secrets that particular time in life.  this one concerns sharing expensive meals in different countries.  Before we were anywhere near the expensive dinner that would be held in his honor, the gentleman warned me to expect to spend the night very ill.  It was going to be a long haul.  The problem was nothing to do with disagreeable food or poisoning at all. On the contrary, the meal was to be of the highest caliber the court and country had to offer. However, the hosting country prided itself on the large and buxom beauty of its inhabitants. The gentleman and I who would attend however were representing a country that prided itself on this delicate beauty of its trim and rather small people.

The diplomat who I would accompany warned me that no matter how often he attended the meals of such countries he spent usually the night afterward on the toilet.  There would be no sign of it before during or after these high place meals as it was then those extremely important policies between the two countries would be formed during that time.

Now its a much later time in my life. The place I live in is not a high court but there is still a problem deciding what to serve when the people who will be served vary considerably in weight and stature.
