Anthro: (taps Mayor) My best friend was killed in the war by dog no-nos.
Mayor: (looking oddly at his assistant) Thank you, Anthro! (turns to Chris) Personally, (smiles, said jokingly) I rather enjoy the dog no-nos. (all is quiet) Or! I’ll just solve that problem once I’ve been elected!
Anthro: (taps Mayor) You’ve been elected, sir.
Mayor: President! (awkward silence) Next question, please.
Alex: Mayor Pod, the mass murders (using fingers to from quotes) AKA the "Lawnmower Massacres" have been causing hundreds of deaths weekly for the past few months; what, if any, police actions are you taking against this situation?
Anthro: (taps Mayor) I like cats. You put out a box, throw in some sand, and they KNOW where to do THEIR business!
Mayor: Thank you, Anthro for that... exquisite comment on pooh-pooh. Anyway, I think that answers your question, Alex.
Chris: (look of disgust) What!? You expressed no ideas of opposition for this serious epidemic facing Mount She-too (ant disagreement) MOUNT SHI-SHI! (pause of silence)
Anthro: (taps Mayor) But dogs! Oh no! Dogs lift a leg here, give messy presents there... (shivers) Ew! And they slobber!
Mayor: Thank you, Anthro! (turns to reporters) In all honesty, I intended to do (jokingly) Nothing! (pause of silence)
Anthro: That didn’t go over well, sir.
Mayor: - but attack that problem once I’ve been elected!
Anthro: You’ve been elected, sir.
Mayor: President! (laughs uncomfortably)
Alex: (winks at Chris) Mayor Pod-
Mayor: (to Anthro) It’s always bad when they start with "Mayor Pod!"
Alex: Some individuals believe that the lack of serious answers from you is due to the fact that you’re trying to hide something or are just ignorant.
Mayor: (looks grim) Being that I have an assistant of intelligence, I’ll let him take that question. (steps down for Anthro to take podium)
Anthro: (steps up to podium) Alex, (points to Mayor) let me assure you that this man is hiding nothing. But he is ignorant. In fact, a complete moron. That’s why I, with my military service in war would be much better-
Mayor: (interrupts hurriedly) Thank you, ANTHRO! (takes podium) The reason I cannot give you the answers you want is because it would ruin our undercover operations, right Anthro?
Anthro: That’s what I’ve been saying! We’ve got to go undercover and take out (slaps hands) the dogs!
Mayor: Pardon?
Anthro: The dogs! They’ve gotta go!
(The mass public accepts this solution as a course of action and ceases to question the ethics and logic behind it; being that they assume something they don not understand must work.)
