Cash-strapped British Foreign Office spent 10000 pounds to re-stuff a dead snake

Cash-strapped British Foreign Office spent 10,000 pounds to re-stuff a dead snake. But the bureaucrats defended themselves: “It is quite a bit of money, but he is a very big snake. We will not be constricted, nor will we scale back, in our dedication to preserve this historic national treasure.” Gotta love those Brits – always game for anaconda pun.
