Of tigers and krakens…

[Knock at door]

“[Cracks the door open] Yes, what is it?”

“Pest control. I’m coming to take care of the tigers.”

“The tigers?”

“Yes.”

“I find hard to believe that you take care of tigers.”

“Here is our flier. Look at that list.”

“Cockroaches… Mice… Chupacabras… Krakens… Ha, yes, tigers. It is on your list.”

“The building’s management has specifically asked us to take care of tigers. They want to make sure that no tigers bother you.”

“Well, that seems to be legit. Do come in.”

“Thank you.”

“I have to tell you though. I’ve been here three years, and I haven’t seen any tigers.”

“Oh?”

“In fact, I don’t think there are tigers in this entire country… Well, except in zoos.”

“You never know when a tiger will escape from a zoo, hitch a ride in a taxi and show up at your doorstep. As one might say, better safe than sorry.”

“I suppose, but I think you’re wasting your time with tiger prevention.”

“Now, you should clear the living room.”

“Why?”

“Those tigers are big fellas. The trap will take your entire living room.”

“Really? There are no tigers here! Your trap is pointless. Hmm… say, can I interest you in taking care of Krakens?”

“Krakens? Where?”

“I saw a couple of them last week behind the fridge.”

“Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Oh, boy! You know what this means?”

“No, I don’t.”

“I get to use the nukes!”

“Nukes! How does this fit with better safe than sorry????”
