in a puppet nation, i recently got an issue concerning destruction of natural animal habitats with the following choices.

"We must act now, before the zombie is lost forever," said spokesperson Hack Licorish during a recent interview. "Domestication has ensured the survival of many endangered species in the past, and there really is no alternative left at this point. Besides, I'm sure many families would be thrilled to welcome a zombie into their homes."

"Sure, zombies might look cute and harmless to you," says retired hunting legend Violet Rifkin, "but back in my day, they were the scourge on the nation. They carry a number of dangerous diseases, and you do NOT want to be bitten by one. My cousin was once bitten by a zombie and he's never been the same since! So now you want my grandchildren exposed to these things? The sooner they disappear completely, the better!"

I always knew that having 'zombie' as national animal would create some humorous results every now and then, but i never expected anything near as funny as choice 2. (bitten by a zombie...never the same since)

anyway, it got me thinking, maybe i should mess with the animal/currency to attempt at the most humorous results. Anyone have stories of doing anything similar?
I can't wait till i'm asked if we are gonna allow the consumption of our upcoming national animal, the 'fourth-grader'.

"We must act now, before the pile of dust is lost forever," said spokesperson Hack Licorish during a recent interview. "Domestication has ensured the survival of many endangered species in the past, and there really is no alternative left at this point. Besides, I'm sure many families would be thrilled to welcome a pile of dust into their homes."

"Sure, pile of dusts might look cute and harmless to you," says retired hunting legend Violet Rifkin, "but back in my day, they were the scourge on the nation. They carry a number of dangerous diseases, and you do NOT want to be bitten by one. My cousin was once bitten by a pile of dust and he's never been the same since! So now you want my grandchildren exposed to these things? The sooner they disappear completely, the better!"

First it says there's only one pile. Than it wants people to have piles of dust. Than it says the piles of dust look cute and harmless. Finally, it says that piles of dust can bite you. Also, there is some grammar problems.
