"My sister Quagga had a conversation with me about obtaining an honest job the other day," said Kentrosaurus. "At first I was upset,you know. My sister Quagga and I are veterans of the little known 1945 Battle of Humboldt Museum, and I live pretty well on my military pension supplemented by sending emails out from my home computer in Nigeria. I found out its pretty easy to fool mammals into sending things if you just ask politely. You wouldn't expect that from animals with such large brains, but you know I was surprised.
So I've been living pretty well. Pretty well, you know, for an extinct animal. An extinct creature doesn't need many creature comforts, but still ... I hadn't really thought about it and I was upset at first when well meaning Quagga made the suggestion. She admonished me for admiring the sermons of Wooly Mammoth as much as I do, and not living by the example he sets. I got to thinking about it, and Leviticus 19:11 came to mind: Do not steal. Do not lie. Do not deceive one another. as well as Deuteronomy chapter 25, verses 15 and 16. You must have accurate and honest weights and measures, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you. For the LORD your God detests anyone who does these things, anyone who deals dishonestly.
Wise Quagga said to me, "Honestly Kentrosaurus, if you're going to talk the talk, stomp the stomp. Forthrightly."
I saw that she was right, and repented of my ways. I'll now leave the writing of the Nigerian emails to others, and embark upon a quest of my very own for an honest job.
I created a LinkedIn Account on the internet, but really don't know what I'd like to do to make an honest living. Can anyone help me make up my mind? I know I should make my skill set known to potential employers so I'd like to say that I feel one of my strongest points is that I am a plant eater, and so I am not very aggressive. Obviously I can get along well with others, but just in case we are attacked I can without hesitation use my cool, spiky tail to defend myself if I absolutely had to.
Are there any suggestions out there? Give me your opinion by sending an email to Stegosaurus. My cousin will make sure I get the email.
