In the days when the duckbilled platypus ruled, it was common for the non-billed to pass themselves off as billed.
Bill enhancement became big business. Even those with the least of means managed the injections.
And the duckbilled grew strong. And were the key to everything.
Until one day there were no more platypi without bills.
And no-one knew who had had bills and who had had none.
And the duckbilled platypi fell from power. And were forgotten. And became a source of ridicule.
They tried having beaver tails, but the ridicule continued.
They tried having webbed feet, but the ridicule increased.
The ancients tell of glorious days when the non-billed platypi ruled.
But the young consider it legend.
