As a follow-up to my rant of the other day, the crisis in Louisiana is worsening.That crisis being : without a major league baseball team in the state, the society is beginning to crumble.
Yesterday, a Louisiana woman landed in jail when she attempted to trade two children for a bird.
The deal went down like this;
Paul and Brandy Romero advertised that they were selling their pet cockatoo for $1500.
A woman named Donna Greenwell ( also, Louisiana born and bred ) responded, and said she wanted to buy the bird. Greenwell then told the Romeros that she was taking care of three children whose biological parents were going through a separation.
Greenwell proposed selling two of the couple's children to the Romeros for $2000, saying that her job as a truck driver made it hard to take care of the children.
The parties allegedly negotiated a trade involving the two kids, the bird and $175. Naturally, all three parties are now in a cell at the Evangeline Parish Police station.
Personally, I would have thrown in Ian Kennedy and asked for the cockatoo and a canary.
If you're tossing in Kennedy, Alph, you should ask for some "future considerations." (Wink, wink.)
