Zucchini Land

Last night while I was trying to get to sleep, I started thinking about safaris in Africa, and whether it would be possible to go on a safari without taking any zucchini along.

Obviously you’d need to be carrying a lot more weight around without zucchini, since any other food would require a much larger amount to make up for all the calories and nutrients that zucchini would have provided.

And then you’d need to bring some extra first aid items, since you wouldn’t be able to use zucchini paste to treat cuts and scrapes and tiger bites, and use the zucchini itself to reduce pain and as an antibiotic against infection. I’m not saying you would be using a zucchini as a bandage if you had brought them, although that should be possible, but they have so many other uses in emergency medical care that it almost seems irresponsible not to bring a few along. I think you could get by without them, you would just need to pack a lot of non-zucchini medical supplies to make up for what they would normally provide on a safari.

You should probably have extra gasoline around for the vehicles, since you would no longer have the option of squeezing the juice out of a zucchini and using that as fuel.

You’d need something else to throw at attacking zebras and other wild animals to keep them at bay.

In conclusion, I do believe that it would be possible to take a safari without bringing any zucchini along, but it hardly seems like a good idea. In fact, if you were the one organizing the safari, I’d have to think you’d be opening yourself up to a lawsuit over reckless endangerment of everyone else’s lives.

So, best to play it safe and bring a lot of zucchinis along, as always.
