SALMON TALK

SAL:

Hello Mo.  Have you heard the news?

MO:

No, what’s up?

SAL:

Humans are going to start messing with our genes.

MO:

How?  We’re fish.  We don’t wear pants.

SAL:

Not that kind.  It’s the stuff inside us, not outside.

MO:

So, what are the hominids planning to do?

SAL:

They’re going to engineer our genes so that we grow faster, and can be eaten sooner.

MO:

How much sooner?

SAL:

In eighteen months instead of thirty-six.

MO:

That doesn’t give us much time to spawn.

SAL:

What’s the difference?  After doing all that swimming upstream, we just die anyway.

MO:

Yeah, but at least we’re together.

SAL:

You’re right, but now we have to get the word out about what’s in the works.   

MO:

O.K. I’ll go north and south, and you go east and west!

 

IT’S ABOUT RENEWABLE RESOURCES STUPID!
