Does Romney Urinate Straight Down His Leg?
I found this pretty funny…and accurate. It comes from a reader over at Balloon Juice.
So, let’s review. The contenders for the GOP nomination are
- A vulture capitalist who believes that any attempt to examine the sources of his income is roughly the equivalent of Stalin liquidating the Kulaks.
- A thrice-married disgraced former Speaker who has abandoned dog whistles in exchange for dog Klaxon horns.
- An angry dwarf who is one step away from advocating tinfoil helmets and railing about the International Shaker Conspiracy.
- A fanatical anti-sex crusader with an unfortunate Google problem.
- Rick Perry.
That sounds right. And here are a couple of vulture facts which you might not have been aware of. I believe they apply to both the avian and human variety.
New World vultures have the ability to use their corrosive vomit as a defensive projectile when threatened. New World vultures also urinate straight down their legs; the uric acid kills bacteria accumulated from walking through carcasses, and also acts as evaporative cooling.
Having watched Romney in a number of debates will attest to the first fact being true. As for the second, check out Romney’s pants leg the next time he walks out in front of the podium. We might just see some telltale signs of uric acid stains.
