I’ve decided on my inanimate object. Well, group of inanimate objects, I suppose. Loose change is open to a wide berth of metaphorical opportunities. I have, so far, come up with:
- Racism (different colored change)
- Foreign relations (foreign currency)
- Wealth (think Scrooge McDuck swimming through piles of money)
- Poverty (Darkwing Duck)
- Questionable associations (slot machines, spotted with several piggy banks)
Puns are also readily available:
- Short changed
- Don’t have two dimes to rub together
- Time for change
I still don’t know if I’m satisfied with this, but it’s at least a direction to head in. At any rate, I’d love to build the entire campaign on horrible puns, but I need more before I can do that.
