Genetic Engineering

The other day I met a guy who works as a genetic engineer. He was happy to tell me of his job.

His latest project is the splicing of DNA from different species of birds.

First he combined the DNA from a pheasant and a hen. It worked!

He called it a "Phen."

Next he successfully combined a pheasant and a goose.

He called it a "Phoose." (You know where this is going, right? It's next)

Yesterday, he explained, he finally was able to mix a pheasant and a duck.

He called it...
