Merrick: “I AM A HUMAN BEI –”

Next time, Jeff: ask him how he voted in the last Chicago mayoral election.
I say! Is that bloke still hanging about? Be off with you, you ugly little…whatever you are!
No, don’t say it! We already heard you. Just be off.

Actually, Mr. Merrick, in response to your repeated claims, we’ve had the lab analyze your DNA. Unfortunately, you are, in fact, an animal. Specifically, you appear to be a chimera consisting of 80% great ape, 11% armadillo, and (ironically enough) 9% elephant DNA.
We regret the inconvenience.
