Pet Raptor
Good evening ladies and gentlemen.
I am here to unveil the newest pet.
I believe this animal will replace the dog
as man's most loving companion.
I present to you the velociraptor.
Don't be afraid, I have domesticated this beast.
He's not gonna disembowel anyone here, I assure you.
He is above all a great protector.
No burglar would dare rob you or mug you with one
of these babies as your pet.
Thanks to cloning technology we were able to put
the DNA found in a dinosaur egg and put it into a chicken egg.
So these velociraptors would be cheap to mass produce.
Sir, please put your camera away!
As I said earlier my pet raptor is a great protector,
maybe a little too good.
Down boy, down Hugo. Put down that camera, oh no!
Hugo, don't you dare disembowel that man,
oh you're gonna be punished now, no just kidding Hugo.
Just kid- Ow! Aaa! You get my flesh out of your mouth
this instant Hugo. Everyone, I am sorry, I would advise you
to run for your lives because I just remembered one more real
important thing about having a velociraptor as a pet.
You have to feed him each day in the morning.
If not, then, well as I am and that camera guy,
you become his snack. Well, I seem to be losing vital fluids.
I seem to be dieing, so my final words would have to be,
it really hurts getting eaten alive by a velociraptor!

Just goes to show the domino effect of our mistakes!!! I for one forgive you.... as a photographer myself - (preferring pollywogs to velociraptors as subjects for my pictures), I just see it as one of my competitors being knocked out of the game! (Poor dude - hope he had 'Hugo Insurance'!)
A fun read no doubt!!
