Why They Called it Omicron | Foil Arms and Hog

OK so

We've discovered a new variant

It's spreading fast

So

We need to call it something

Well we have done extensive market research

with the public and one thing is

become abundantly clear

They want to move away from that

whole Greek alphabet naming system

Boring

Really?

Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta

It's just white noise isn't it?

So what are you thinking?

OK well first up we have the

Not again

Variant

Oh OK

There's the

Ah Give it a Rest

Variant

Right

The You've Ruined

Christmas Variant

Um...

No

No

No

No

Variant

OK right

So I shouldn't have to explain

why we are not going with any of them

Do you have anything else?

Why don't we just go back to naming them after

countries where they are discovered?

No, we are not doing that again

Well it worked for the UK Variant

The Alpha Variant

OK? No it didn't

It was

unfair and discriminatory

I kinda liked it

It stuck with the public

Yeah

Well it stuck for the Ebola Virus too

Do you know where we got the name for that?

No

Well let's just say there is not much

tourism going on

down at the River Ebola

Fair enough

So we are going back to the Greek alphabet

So

Dull

We're on...

Lambda...

Mu...

So

We're on Nu

N - u

Nu?

So we are calling it the

New Variant?

What are we going to call the next one?

The

Newer Variant?

The Brand New Improved Variant

I Can't Believe it's not Variant

Variant?

Fine well we can skip one

OK Xi

Xi?

Oh isn't that the same name spelled as

The President of the Peoples Republic of China?

Yes

Yes it's spelled the same OK

The Chinese

President Variant?

I mean that is pointed.

Fine we'll skip that one too

OK

Yeah Omicron

That's a Greek letter?

Of course it is

Are you saying it right?

Yeah Omicron

It's the 15th letter of the Greek alphabet

Omicron

You're sure?

I've never heard of it

Nah me neither

I mean it sounds like something

you clean your toilet with

Yeah yeah

Or maybe something you treat a

fungal nail with

Omicron

I might buy a teeth whitening kit

called Omicron

I'd use Omicron to get rid of dandruff in hair

I'd say my uncle would probably

deworm his cattle with Omicron

Omicron

Omicron that's what it sounds like

We're calling it Omicron

OMICRON

OMICRON
