Keeping those varmints away from the crops? Or, who knows what those genetically-modified foods could lead to?

It boggles the mind.

Nahh. Those farmers need to grow more corn to make more ethanol. Shouldn't we be drinking that stuff instead of burning it for fuel?

DeleteUnicorns. USDA agents can handle cows, but if there are any unicorns in the herd, you really need burst fire capability to put them down. Don't let the stories fool you; unicorns are fast, vicious, and bloodthirsty.
ReplyDeleteHeh....you bring up a good point. Don't tell the USDA about the Pegasus [Pegasi?]...they'll start asking for Stingers.
