A New Boss for the Museum

The new museum director stomped into the collections department.

‘Here's the problem,’ she said, tapping a sharply filed nail on a label. ‘These Latin names are intentionally obscure! Ornithorhynchus anatinus? Haliaeetus albicilla? It’s boring, elitist., esoteric bullshit!

‘Fix it,’ she barked, and marched from the room.

‘Canis familiaris,’ mumbled a curator.

‘Nephelopsis obscura,’ muttered another.
