Make sure it has not been tested on women, either.

And when you eat vegetables, you're depriving those same animals of their
lunch.  Don't eat *anything*.

Now I am confused.  What if neither of them are white or liberal?

What about non-white inhabitants of Britain, who have not been anywhere near
Africa or America in their lives?  And neither have their grandparents.  This
term is extremely racist and should be banned.

Odd.  I thought the correct term was "paper about to be recycled".

True.  Have you seen what the World Aquanaut Security Patrol get up to on
that TV series, "Stingray"?

Note: not "traffic warden", as everyone hates them as well.

This is ageist.  It should be "Earth Citizens", at least until a protest is
received from someone who does not live on Earth.

Another reason to attack vegetarians!

I thought this was "showing initiative".

Too right.  Shoot them all.  Put them all out of our misery.  And when we've
finished with the fairies, we're going after Santa Claus.  Anyone fancy a
reindeer steak?
