Sure-Fire Business Idea

With world fisheries declining at a dizzying rate* one of mankind's greatest culinary experiences** is pretty much doomed.

I'm talking, of course, about the anchovy.

What I'm planning to do (as soon as my friendly Nigerian financier comes through with the cash) is strike out in a bold new direction: pygmy shrew farming. Of course, we won't call them pygmy shrews, as our marketing test group rated that as the second least tasty-sounding animal, right after the leaf-nosed bat and just before the bandicoot.

No, in honour of their farm-raised heritage, I'm going to call them ranchovies. Get your pizza with 100% organic free range ranchovies today!

As for the shrews? It's gotta be better than the way they live now.

* Due to the French.
** After, for example, fried octopus.

1 Are you trying to gross me out? Because you've succeeded....
(Of course, small rolled up hairy fish are pretty gross, too...)
