Limited liability company
A grand metaphysical fiction on which much of post-enlightenment western civilization depends. Originally known as “joint stock companies”, LLCs are demure creatures, usually hidden behind a corporate veil.
In 1926 Scottish naturalist A. J. N. Calder discovered the espiecie on a nature walk not far from George Town. It was, he discovered, a unique adaptation of the ellellcie that was for years exclusive to the islands of the British West Indies. It is thought to have evolved from an ellellcie that was washed overboard as the Mayflower passed the Caribbean on its way to Cape Cod, and had in the ensuing three hundred years adapted to its new environment so successfully that it was almost unrecognisable. DEspite repeated efforts scientists and financial engineers have not, been able to successfully merge or consolidate an espiecie with a traditional ellellcie and scientists believe they are now distinct genus of legal personality.
