Another Hypothetical Question
Last night, while my roommate was showing me pictures of his vacation to San Francisco, I asked the following question: If you had to go on a road trip with a full-grown wild animal, which animal would you choose?
“Well, I can tell you who I wouldn’t want to go on a road trip with,” he said, ignoring the question. “A panther. I’ve heard that panthers are the least trainable of all cats and eventually they just turn on their owners. I wouldn’t want to be in a car with one.”
Here are some of the animals my roommate said he would like to take on a road trip, with his reasons for doing so:
Manatee: “They’re gentle creatures, they’ve all been wounded by speedboats at some point in their lives, and they’re shy. They would make good companions.”
Kangaroo: “It’s difficult to keep track of all the things you need on vacation-road maps, rental car receipts, etc. A kangaroo could keep those in its pouch.”
Chimpanzee: “They’re the most human-like.”
Man, these are some wild times my roommate and I are living over here on Mulberry Street. I’d invite some girls over to hang out with us sometime, but I’m afraid we would ruin them for other men forever. We are that cool and sexy.
And if you’re curious who I would like to take on a road trip, here’s a hint:
