Rooster Booties

ROOSTER BOOTIES: This MUST be true - I read it in the Tulsa World:
HONOLULU (AP) - A legislative committee is willing to legalize cockfighting - as long as the fighting roosters wear tiny little boxing gloves into the ring.

Under the bill, game cocks would be required to wear padded protective mitts in place of the sharp metal leg spurs they usually wear as weapons.
House Agriculture Chairman Merwyn Jones defended the measure as a wayto create jobs in economically depressed areas...

Jobs? Making cock mittens? Imagine that. "What do you do at work daddy"?

I suppose that sounds good. Help the economy and all. But hey, what about the jobs that'll be lost by the people who are already making the "sharp metal spurs that they usuallyw ear as weapons". These guys have gotta eat too you know. Take away the livelyhood of fighting cock spur makers and you've just created a whole new sub class of society. I think that the government needs a new committee. Gather up these ex spur makers and train them to make cock covers.

Only a government grant could do justice to a group of ex-spurts needing education in chicken condom construction.
