The rattlesnake an' the skunk
Reader comment on item: Tariq Ramadan Gives Up – Then Tries Again
Submitted by James E. McMullen, III (United States), Jan 20, 2010 at 19:27
I don't know about the rest of yer readers, Dan'l, but this ol cowboy knows that pullin' the fangs of a rattler don't mean jack. They grow back. An' as a kid, a friend had a desented skunk...for a while. The scent glands grew back.
Need I say more.
