ZOO REGISTRARS: A BEWILDERING BUREAUCRACY

摘要

Animals are divided into: (a) belonging to the Emperor, (b) embalmed, (c) tame, (d) sucking pigs, (e) sirens, (f) fabulous, (g) stray dogs, (h) included in the present classification, (i) frenzied, (j) innumerable, (k) drawn with a very fine camelhair brush, (1) et cetera, (m) having just broken the water pitcher, (n) that from a long way off look like flies.' As a registrar, nobody bothers you. They don't want to know what you do because it will give them a headache. They would rather be out there, getting chased by an animal or getting dirty or bloody or something.
