The other day I met a good friend of mine
who is a genetic engineer. He was happy to
tell me of his job. His latest project is
the splicing of DNA from different species
of birds.
First he combined the DNA from a pheasant
and a hen.
It worked!
He called it a "Phen."
Next he successfully combined a pheasant
and a goose.
He called it a "Phoose."
Yesterday, he explained, he finally was
able to mix a pheasant and a duck.
He called it... "Charlie."
