James Burke smiled grimly as the three superheroes sped away.  He had waited
a long time for this opportunity... a very, very long time.  And he was
going to make the absolute best of it.

On board the Zepplin, the crew was in a panic.  Their four best rocket men
had just been shot down, foully murdered - by a stinking Limey, no less -
and they were running out of bear cubs.  "All right, men!" the captain
shouted.  "Time to RETREAT, DOUBLE TIME!  Bring out the MOOSE!"

On the ground, James Burke strode forward.  Then, his grim smile turned to a
look of fear and horror, as a great shape was hurled over the side.

Quaking in fear and anger, he waved his duelling pistol and shouted.  "You
Godless Commies!  Don't you -know- what you are doing?  Moose are an
ENDANGERED SPECIES!  You can't use them for..." then, irrivocably, he
straightened up.  "ballast.  Moose have been endangered since 1995, when the
Canadian Commonwealth declared over fifty of its native fauna endangered in
an effort to put a stop to all hunting in North America.  The United States
Federal Government, under pressure from the state of Alaska, conceded to
protect twelve of the fifty species within the U.S.A., including the Wild
Boar, the Polar Bear, the Penguin, and the Bull Moose.  Ever since..."

THUMP.

Slowly, majestically, the nearly-crippled Zepplin rose out of sight.
