No surprise that the government has baited us hook, line and sinker into shifting our purchasing habits to more expensive energy efficient compact florescent light bulbs. Also no surprise to later discover that compact florescents are not the light emitting holy grail being marketed to us but rather a mercury-laden form of dirty electricity.
But now, thanks to our R&D friends at GnombeCo. disposal of these compact florescents is not only safe – but fun! Our bioLabs division has genetically engineered a paleozoic era sea serpent by grafting the DNA of a salamander with the DNA of conservative radio talk show host, Rush Limbaugh (plus a half a can of PBR…).
The serpent, now being tested at roving New England area county fairs has so far, been successful. Tested in the gaming areas, unwitting customers are charged a modest $3.00 a pop to guess which color lightbulbs will be eaten and in what sequence. Noted one customer from Standish, Maine, “It digests the glass and mercury which is then, recycled into more political propaganda! I guessed right 3 times in a row and won a giant stuffed beaver! I named him Oswald Edwin Bartholomew McBeaver Jr. (who’s short name is Fred…).”
County fair officials could not be reached for comment.
