Q: Does everyone understand?


A: (for the next poster)  I put it down here somewhere.

Q.  The combination of monkeys and typewriters is the source of the many political pamphlets we've been innundated with recently.  According to union regulations, the artwork is done by a team of specially trained hamsters, who skate over the paper with sponges attached to their paws.  It would save time and money to have the hamsters do both text and artwork, but their union rep won't allow them to be trained to operate the typewriters.  The monkeys, on the other hand, are willing to draw, but only if given danger money because of the risks inherent in skating.  The company can't afford that, so that's why the hamsters won't be doing the text.  What's the other consequence again?

(polly_mer, that was tricky and I don't really know if the above makes sense)

A: A post-it note, three red biros and a stick of salami.
