Dear Merck,
I have this
thing, I might wanna do. I went on your website, and it looked pretty
scientific, so I figure you guys are the only ones who can help me.
You see, for
ages the Earth has been plagued with the destructive power of humankind. People
have torn the ozone layer, eaten all the rainforests, and given birth to Carrot
Top. These events must stop. My plan, with the help of a certain scientific
company’s amazing breakthrough technologies, is to repopulate the world with
wombats.
We have all
seen the adverse effects of genocide in the past. Therefore I have elected not
to kill any people during this process. What we are going to do is, you are
going to invent a transfiguration machine that can turn people into loving
wombats who will care for and nurture the Earth, and by that I mean they will do
what wombats are best known for (vehicular exhaust analysis).
You guys have
the money. You have the resources. You have the scientists. Now all you need to
do is put all three things together in a giant vat. Stir until blended smoothly.
Bake at 450˚F for 3 hours. Serves six.
So when can
you have the transfiguration machine? Wednesday is best for me. Remember: like
the famous peace advocate Jergens Gandhi once said, “If it ain’t fixed, break
it.”
Sincerely,

Kevin
Dickinson
P.S. We are
going to need a transfiguration machine on each of the 17 continents. |
