3.5 rounded up. I liked the story and found the world interesting but pretty much disliked all the characters for one reason or another. Also, the wrap up was way too quick and seemed a bit shoehorned in - kind of like "okay, I got the funny bit out so now I'm just going to tie up everything with four sentences to make it seem like a complete story". (It was more than that, but that's how it felt.) Still, amusing and creative.
I didn't realize this was a short story before I got it. It's a fun, quick read.
