Election results


At the close of counting, the Fish was pronounced the animal that most people would like to be (4 votes). Filling in the position of vice-Fish will be the Pig (2 votes). And the deputy vice-Fish is the Mule (1 vote).

Exit polling revealed that the Fish was the preferred candidate primarily because of the perceived lifestyle advantages of most aquatic vertebrates. This was in marked contrast to voter perception of the alternative choices, both domesticated ungulates, as being required to either work excessively hard (Mule) or wallow in their own faeces (Pig). Interestingly, supporters of the Pig quoted this same factor as a positive.

I believe you failed to point out that one is an even-toed (pig), and the other an odd-toed ungulate (mule).

Unfortunately you are correct in your belief. I didn't mention it because I have been trying to hide this fact for years. Thanks a bunch for wrecking everything.
