*finds some amber with mosquitoes in it*
*extracts eons-old blood from the stomach of the poor bug*
*clones it*
*splices in genes for fire-breathing (stolen from Godzilla's DNA)*
*grows the critter*

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce the world's first prehistoric
fire-breathing dino-carp.

*a crash and a roar is heard from the tank*
*the dino-carp climbs out of the tank*
*the dino-carp clears its throat*
*the dino-carp breathes fire on all of the reporters*
*the dino-carp eats a hapless lawyer (to score points with the public)*
*the dino-carp climbs into a corevette*
*the dino-carp drives away, threatening to flame all the munchkins of the
world*

COMING SOON TO A THEATRE NEAR YOU!

Throwing a carp at me isn't going to help your situation. Now kill this
before I have a hillarious hang over from carp meat.
