Perfume-Utopia: How Britain Plans to Smell Its Way to Greatness!
Yes, you read that right.
Now, picture this: a dystopian future where the streets are paved with gold… or, more accurately, clogged with congealed grease and discarded wet wipes.
Welcome to the age of the "Fatberg".
These monstrous sewer dwellers, the stuff of nightmares, are now, apparently, the key to unlocking the secrets of "haute couture".
"It's a crazy idea," admits Professor Stephen Wallace, his voice dripping with the weary cynicism of a man who's seen one too many government-funded snake oil salesmen. "But it works."
Apparently, the good professor, bless his soul, has figured out how to turn these subterranean horrors into… perfume.
Imagine, if you will, a fragrance that whispers of forgotten french fries and the lingering aroma of a thousand forgotten dreams. "Eau de Sewer," anyone?
And get this: the British Government, in its infinite wisdom, has declared this… this olfactory abomination… a national priority!
Two billion pounds (US 2,435,600,000) over ten years, folks! Two billion pounds to turn their sewers into a giant, government-subsidized perfume factory.
I'm sure the folks in the Cotswolds are thrilled!!
But wait, there's more!
Turns out, this isn't just about smelling like a forgotten subway grate.
Oh no, no, no.
We're talking about turning plastic into vanilla essence!
Used batteries into… well, something vaguely resembling gold, I guess.
And, my personal favorite, turning the pungent elixir of a thousand drunken nights at the distillery into a "plant-based alternative to fish-oil supplements."
Because nothing says "healthy living" quite like the distilled essence of regret!
The government, naturally, is ecstatic. "Growth! Sustainability!" they chant, their eyes glazed over with visions of dollar signs.
Meanwhile, the scientists, bless their souls, are scrambling to keep up, all the while holding their nose while doing it!
