They say a picture is worth a thousand words...



It appears we have here a PETA protest in progress down in Times Square. This charming (I'm sure) young lady decided that the best way to eradicate the plight of the endangered Bengal Tiger was to show just how silly it looks to let one of these ferocious felines drink from the bowl. I, for one, empathize with her, and am now vowing to do my part: Here is my new oath (I suggest you all memorize it, there'll be a quiz later...)

1) I, as a responsible animal-lover (no, not in that way), will, for the sake of the Bengal Tigers, use only non-chlorine bowl cleaner, and will always flush several times after using any detergent (That'll work fine until PETW shows up [People for the Ethical Treatment of Water]).

2) Additionally, as one who has successfully "boycotted" Sigfried and Roy my entire life (boy, is that ever a tough stance to maintain...), I will certainly take it upon myself to, after using the loo, lower the lid, and lock it tight. PETA states {somewhere, just don't ask me where) that the circumference of the Bengal tiger's head is exactly equal to the inner circumference of the average toilet. Coincidence??!? I THINK NOT! (Okay, so I pulled a little Jayson Blair on that one).

3) Finally, if I'm ever in a situation in which I have a dire and emergent need for the use of a facility, that is currently being occupied by a thirsty tiger, I will kindly wait my turn...unless it's just an idiot protestor, in which case #3 goes out the window and my "Number 2" goes on the back of her head.

Don't get me wrong...I love animals.

They're delicious!
