The Elk Hunt by Paul Spooner - Cabaret Mechanical Theatre

Action: Turning the handle causes the hunter to train his gun in twelve directions. From one of the directions he finds himself looking down the gun barrel at an elk. There is a bonging noise and the elk collapses. Sometimes the elk falls right away, sometimes it takes its time. We may surmise that, in the case of a long delay, the hunter has fired a tranquilliser dart.
NRA approached for endorsement but no reply so far.

Label: Most Sports Favour a Level playing field. That’s why, half-way through a football game, the teams change ends to equalise any effects of the slope of the ground of the direct of the wind. When opposing sides do not belong to the same species, any attempt to even out the chances of winning are not thought practical. This is why elks have never been issued with firearms.
