Don’t skinny dip in Liuzhou. Somebody apparently dumped their aquarium piranhas in the river and now they’re biting people. So officials decided to pay fishermen $160 each for every piranha they catch. Since piranha are for sale on the Internet for about $50, the communists – who never seem to completely grasp the vagaries of the free market – don’t realize they just inspired a mass infusion of piranha into the region.

This thread is crap. If you folks are getting burned out, then please just take a break.
Ditto
Maybe we could outsource our excess Progressives(which would actually be all of them) as 'organic fish food'.
I'd breed the damn things!
When I was a kid, the people up the street were exotic fish breeders. They had a permit to breed a small number of piranha. I have no idea WHY anyone would want to breed piranha, but I loved to go visit at feeding time.
Many years ago, a buddy of mine had a fish tank with 6 piranha in it. He put a $100 bill in a little ceramic house and dropped it in the tank. He told everyone that if they could get it, they could keep it.
Nobody ever tried.
I learned the hard way that not all toothed fish are piranhas. I was at a small rural golf course that had a fish tank in the clubhouse with a weird little African fish in it. The fish had his own golf ball. The damn fish loved pushing that golf ball around the bottom of the tank, and I loved watching him do it. One day while I was watching he got it stuck in the corner of the tank, so I reached in to dislodge it for him. Blam! He hit my wrist like a cobra, gouging a chunk of flesh out of me. Ungrateful little bastard. I yelled like a girl, splashed water all over the room yanking my arm out of the tank, and two days later the fish died. To this day, 20 years later, the owners of the golf course still accuse me of killing their fish by poisoning him.
J.P. What was your Blood Alcohol Content when he bit you?
Yeah yeah yeah, you guys don't realize I've heard all the possible jokes from my family. Do I have irresistible urges to clean hippo teeth? The fish died from shame after I touched his balls. The fish died of venereal disease. Etc.
When I golf there, I have to walk past a tiny little cross by the 10th tee - the fish's burial spot. Some day after a few rounds of beer I'm going to bless that spot - let that stupid fish know what I really think of him.
LMAO
I know it's not funny, but thanks for the laugh! Bless the spot!
He didn't like people messing with his balls.
Capitalism at it's best.
1. Buy Piranha at pet store for $50.
2. Sell to government idiots for $160.
3. Laugh all the way to the bank.
"Damn," the commies will say, "who knew we had this many piranhas in the river!"
Piranha-gun mis-fires.
I think they are trying to make a new Piranhas movie. This time with a live audience type feel?
Uhh....corporate greed?
Now you're getting it!
TD,.........MO. Do it for the safety of the swimmers.
As long as my "swimmers" are safe!
