"THE BOY, THE MAN AND HIS DONKEY" Once upon a time in the not-so-long-ago a farmer decided to take his produce to town to sell. He said to his fourteen year old son,: "Son, catch the donkey and we will hie ourselves to yon village where we will sell our goods and buy victuals (that's "vittles" to you folks in Awstin, Teksiss). As they set off for yonder town a quarter mile away there came upon them an official group from the town called the "Cee Pee Ess" (for you folks in Pass-A-Deena, that's: "Child Protective Services). They said,: "Sir! Fie on you! You're makin' that pore fourteen year old boy walk a whole quarter mile to town while you ride in ostentatious splendor upon that donkey!". "We're gonna take you to court for that!". When they got to the court they told Judge "Lettemgo" Jones what they had seen and the judge said: "I believe that's the worst case of child abuse I ever saw". "Sir, I fine you that sack of goodies you're carryin' and furthermore, I rule that you let that pore fourteen year ole child ride and YOU walk!". On the way backhome the man was walkin' and the boy was ridin' the donkey when a group of the Righteous Members of the Local "Aye Ar Pee Gee", (that's the "Animal Rights Protection Gang" to you folks in Filladellfee) happened upon them and said, "Lookit that! That pore donkey is doin' slave work carryin' that child!"."We need to make sure it will never be humiliated again by havin' to carry someone!" so they broke it's legs. Then they went away, proud as can be having won another victory for animal rights! Moral: If you don't wanna lose your ass you better keep away from liberal judges and do-gooders!
