200 WORDS OR LESS:
NEW ZOO
Today's question comes from the book, "The Conversation Piece":
---------------
#3 You've been asked to design the zoological park of the future. How will you design this park to be radically different from the zoos of today? Be specific.
---------------
The purpose of a zoo is to preserve rare and endangered species so that current and future generations can encounter fascinating and unusual creatures.
I'm optimistic for a bright future filled with liberty and capitalism, so I expect the following few creatures will be rare and zoo-worthy in 50 years:
Ted Kennedy: Fat, yet desiccated; surly, yet gin-blossomed; the last of the hard-core tax & spend Democrats - now sans teeth and power - spends his days pacing, drinking and mumbling "Mary Jo and I were just friends..."
The Last Hippy: Sporting the tell-tale graying ponytail from his balding head, this unkempt freak whiles away the hours smoking pot, listening to Floyd, and flinging '68 Chicago reminiscences like so much monkey-poo. Remember to stand upwind at this exhibit.
The head of Fidel Castro: Still recognizable by its bushy beard & eyebrows, "old busy-whiskers" does nothing but rot and stink now, his severed head perched merrily on a stick. Don't forget to spit as you pass. Fun for the whole family!
Finally, empty cages memorialize the following extinctions: Green Peace, Earth First!, Communist Party USA, France, and cockroaches.
Brought to you by DDT - as versatile as it is effective!
