ORANGE ROUGHY
News Item: Despite Mike Flynn's problems and the new question of what the
President knew and when, Donald Trump remains secure in the White House.
Yes, I am the original Orange Roughy. And I want to hold on to that name.
You know, the history is pretty simple. When they decided I made a good eating fish,
and I was, at the time, plentiful, they gave me this name. It sounded better.
Well, you see, my previous name ... actually, I'd rather not talk about it.
What I do want to talk about is that imposter in the White House. Orange Roughy
might be a good description but he's not orange enough. He's really just an orange
head.
Me, I am orange but of a mien where they prefer to sell only fillets. It's why I had that
unappealing name before.
You know, I have an idea ... why don't you use my old name for that guy in the White
House.
My old name? Let's talk about something else.
You are wondering how you can use my old name for him if I don't tell you what it is.
Let me think about it.
Okay, I'll tell you but you've gotta promise you'll never call me by it again. Okay?
Okay, then I'll tell you. It's 'slime head'. Think it's suitable? You are most welcome to
it. And it looks like he's in there at least through 2020.
