If a candidate were running for president who spoke intelligently and eloquently, dressed respectably, and held the same position on issues that you have, but had the head of a crocodile, would you vote for him? From the neck down he’s totally normal, he just has a head which looks exactly like the head of a crocodile.

Perhaps. Until he started to cry. Then I’d know he was fibbing. ---

I’d vote for a guy with a crocodile head on that fact alone. He doesn’t even need to speak well or anything like that. In fact, I’d probably vote for a real crocodile if you put a suit on it. Especially if the campaign ads were a video of you putting the suit on the crocodile. That’s something I’d like to see. Are you there FOX? ---

Didn’t Elton John wear a crocodile head once to do “Crocodile Rock”? I wouldn’t vote for him, though, because he’s British. ---

I’d vote for him, just for the possibility that he’d do such a good job in office that he’d end up with his face on some money…or even Mt. Rushmore. Would he wear a “nemes,” too? ---

You mean one that looks like this: [http://www.atomicmonsters.com/alligatorpeople.htm](http://www.atomicmonsters.com/alligatorpeople.htm) …or one even less convincing-looking? I think the biggest problem with alligator people is their inability to make human sounds. Having an official that comkmunicated with hisses and cannon-shot noises would have novelty at first, but it would wear off rapidly. ---
