WHY WE LOVE FREE ENTERPRISE

The local government of Liuzhou in southern China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region has ended its hunt for rogue piranha fish after offering a reward which attracted thousands of hopeful fishers to local rivers. The quest to capture the troublesome fish — whose presence in the river is unexplained — has become farcical, with online retailers offering to sell and deliver piranhas to the region for 12 yuan (US$1.80) apiece.

Ladies! Wearing men's size 12 work boots when your heart says you belong in demure lady's pumps?
Come to Steve's Piranha Peducures.
We'll have you wearing ballet slippers in no time. They won't be toe slippers because of a technicality that we can't mention for legal reasons.
But we guarantee smaller feet!


Why do I sense Joe Biden was involved with this plan?

I saw Rogue Piranha open for Meat Loaf.

Tax the piranha farms. (Vetinari reference)
