Beauty Queens Skin Muskrats In Miss Outdoor Pageant
From The Washington Post:
Contestant No. 1 sashayed down the catwalk, her hair bouncing in blond curls, and smiled a radiant beauty-queen smile. She picked up a furry dead rodent about the size of a football.
Then she took out a very sharp four-inch blade and stuck the point in just above the animal's tail. . . .
"Oh, my God!" a boy in the audience yelled, at the sight of a woman in perfect makeup with her hand inside a muskrat.
Then, from another part of the crowd, an older woman's voice: "She's good."
Do not miss this wonderfully odd story, especially those of you who are looking for a good woman who doesn’t necessarily have to be able to sing or dance.





I would marry this woman in a heartbeat.
