[net.misc] Waterbeds and wombats

  What am I supposed to do if I have a waterbed on the ground floor and
a wombat decides to burrow into it?  I mean, I can't exactly keep a punc-
tured waterbed filled just so some stupid wombat can have a large, back-up
water supply, can I?  Why not just solve the whole problem by:
  1)Killing wombat with large wooden club
  2)Filling wombat with water, until it resembles a water bed
  3)Throwing waterbed out with the next day's trash.

 It seems to me that this would end all of the troubles with both wombats
and waterbeds because everyone knows that wombat skin is tougher than the
skin of a waterbed, and would therefore puncture much less easily.  Also,
this would rid the world of wombats, and all discussions about them.

  Ahh, but sir!  EVERYONE knows that, when Wombats tunnel, they avoid
waterbeds religiously!  That's why it's appropriate to use them in place
of a heater!
