Standing at my local, quietly sipping on a pint, I overhear an englishmans conversation he is having at someone…  a real posh accent, not common around these parts:

“”"
It’s a mamal… that lays eggs?  I didn’t know mammals could lay eggs?

A bill like a duck?  It swims??!?

An elaborate hoax is what it is.

Don’t listen to a word those crytozoologists say!  They’re not going to use this ‘platypus’ as an excuse for their non scientific ways.

Science is the only way… we must kill all of these platypus to prove that crytozoology is wrong – science must win!
“”"

‘Well‘, I thought.  ‘Can’t have this toff kill off any of these strange platypus creatures…’

Off to Australia to save the platypus!!!  I screamed loudly… (must have drank a bit too much)

‘I wonder if they have cold beer in Australia?  I heard it’s 45 today in Melbourne, so some nice cold ales would be good.’
