Plants are making DND look bad!


This is way off base from my quirky coverage of local environmental issues but who cares? I can't stop thinking about the latest with DND's (Department of National Defiance) new policy to rid HQ of all plants (I'm not talking electronic devices). Seems they're tightening their belts and figured that saving a few bucks watering plants would justify turning their work place into an oxygen free, sterile environment. A little like a desert perhaps? Maybe this is like a joke out of a "Control and Chaos" TV episode where Sigfried says: "What's with all the plants and what has this to do with the enemy? This is DND, we do not water and talk to plants!
 Maybe to match this sterile environment, they can let in a few prickly cacti plants that are low maintenance and seem to represent the current government. If that doesn't go over, maybe they could just camouflage the pesky plants. After all, those ficuses, hibiscus and other lovely plants were making DND look bad.
