Copper Shortage Forces Mint Maggot Choice

The US Mint reported today that a shortage of copper leading to escalating prices has forced them to reconsider the minting of copper Lincoln pennies. With the price of copper reaching record levels, the cost of producing a penny is now greater than the value of the coin.

Strange as it sounds, the Mint is now considering the use of Maggots as the baseline currency. Bryan Magoot confirmed "Maggots are plentiful, and can be created with very little cost. We are seriously considering this option."

US Treasury officials refused to comment on the veracity of this story, stating only that "Maggots love the Meat."

More Meat.....

Distended, rendered, and over-
extended....Portion control on a roll....Can you buy in to the concept? The More Meat we eat, the more people we send on the short end.....Shortages...Hunger....Bare bones.
This equation needs a good head shake. What can I do about it, we ask? Try eating a vegetarian meal a few nights a week. Even one for a start. And I don't mean wheat cutlets with texturized protein that tastes like bandaids in guar gum gravy. Like real vegetables or salads, raw or roasted. Consider the alternative.....maggotslovethemeat.
