#1 I forgot to ask. Can they be trained to sniff out Sarin and Mustard gas?

#2 You just know where this is going to lead:

"Private Willard, I told you to take those rats and clear that minefield"

"I'm not doing that, Sergeant."

"Well, then, you're looking at a court martial for insubordination and--hey, wait a minute, what are you doing?"

"Remember when you chewed me out in basic training? You made a fool of me in front of everybody. You made me hate myself. I thought about it a lot, hating myself. Well right now, at this moment, I LIKE myself."

"No, Willard, no, call 'em off, please!"

"Tear 'im up!"

"No, Willard, no! . . . No, Willard, no, no, NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

#3 At least they aren't using simians anymore. The only place I want to see flying monkeys is in the Wizard of Oz.

#5 There they go offshoring jobs again - this time to a different species.

Why can't they hire some of the homeless to do this type of thing?

#7 You know, when the dolphins were sent to the gulf to look for seamines, somebody suggested using them for landmines. Just throw a dolphin in mine field, then release a couple greenpeace members. With luck you can use the dolphin over and over again.
