Yes, it’s true.
The Maine state government has finally gotten around to taxing your dog’s balls.

Beware “fully equipped” friends.

I had to do a double take on this one. Although holiday poop gift ideas wouldn’t be an odd addition to my news feed at this point… that’s actually actually a shrimp poop removing tool.
And who doesn’t want to find one of those in their stocking Christmas morning?

2020 is my husband.
While I carry a washable cloth mask in my purse, he uses those blue paper things and I find them hanging everywhere. Rear view mirror, stick shift, hat rack, door knobs etc.
Sanitary it’s not.

My dog has had her ears and tail clipped (she’s a Min Pin) – sure glad I don’t live in town.

We have always had to pay extra for the equipment our girl pups still have. Ovaries count, too.

I would carry a washable cloth mask in my purse, but my wife says it would just be in her way when she’s trying to find my credit card.

Easy access to the card has prolonged many a marriage.

As you well know, we take our corn seriously. In fact, corn races are a year round form of entertainment. What lucky folks we are!
As our governor recently stated (this is a bit of paraphrasing): “Omicron Shmomicron. Now, off to the toilet. I must win the corn race!”

“Equipped” animals are more expensive here too. I guess a Chef might like the Shrimp gadget.

I’ve never heard of a ball tax, but I suppose it’s meant to deter unwanted births. Maybe we should try it with humans….

I have a blue “new car smell” Christmas tree on my rear view mirror. If I lived near enough to get shrimp straight off the boat, the shrimp de-pooperizer tool would be awesome. Dog balls? Tax’em! I don’t like dogs anyway.

I laughed out loud at the last one, though I take issue with the crucifix. I thought the 1970s were all about fuzzy dice? Or maybe that was an earlier decade. All I know is, I had ’em hanging in my car in the ’80s!

Fuzzy dice are from the 50’s. And if you didn’t know… originated with pilots in WWII who hung dice with the number 7 displayed in their cockpits for good luck before a mission.
No fuzz then of course.

I had no idea! That’s fascinating. Thank you for sharing.
Are we sure people didn’t hang mood rings from their rearview mirrors in the ’70s? Or happy faces? Still not sold on the whole crucifix thing.
