Smoky Brown


One of my little cousins got into his hometown newspaper today holding a cock roach. I am a big fan of roaches. They are a good source of protein for many cool animals, like lizards and birds. Also, since there are no dragons or ogres left they are one of the few things left that a man can slay and look like a hero to his beautiful maiden. I have done some research with the Texas Smoky Browns that got me in a little trouble at work. See emails below.

To the department:


It was brought to my attention on last Friday afternoon that the break room on the research/South side of the building was left extremely messy after lunch (coffee grounds all over floor, etc). If you spill something please clean it up.
Let's all help each other out and take ownership to these common areas and ensure they are kept clean daily.
Thank you!

From Me:

Dear Office Manager,
I am attempting to do a very valuable scientific experiment that requires the collection of hundreds of roaches. In particular I am collecting the Smokybrown Cockroach (Periplaneta fuliginosa). I am attempting to prove that digesting the Smokybrown will cure many diseases of the foot. The Smokybrown loves coffee grounds hence I will be spilling coffee grounds all over the research kitchen floor. Since I am using the research kitchen for research (as the title implies I should), please refrain from encouraging people to clean up my mess.
Thank you for contributing to this valuable research!

But what if the maiden likes the smoky browns and they are her friends?!
