Genitalia on my nickles

[Technocracy]

With the recent discussions about FBI crackdowns on images containing "questionable" aduly oriented material on the internet I was rather upset upon receiving a new US nickel in my change at McDonald's.  Imagine my surprise when I saw this on the reverse of my shiny coin...



Yes it is a buffalo but notice the EXPOSED PHALLUS on the coin.  Well, I think the FBI and US Mint are obviously not on the same page when it comes to decency.  A US President and a Phallus on the same object, a few years ago that kind of 'art' would have gotten your government grant taken away.  Now the US Mint obviously feels it can simply flaunt it's ability to ignore the standards of decency we have come to expect from our government leaders.

I am considering confronting the McDonald's corporation with a letter from my attorney regarding their waton distribution of coins featuring such lewd images.  It borders on beastiality, what with the image of one of our presidents in such close proximity.  Perhaps I should inform the FBI of obvious infiltration of unsavory elements at the US Mint having some fun with our distinguished currency.  Perhaps the offices of my senators would be able to take action about this.  I think I may have to contact them with my very important concerns.  

What is next a nickel featuring one Bison mounting another one?  Naked Lady commemorative pens from the White House gift shop?  Where will the insanity end?

Not a very 'impressive' Buffalo, though, is it?

I'd wash my hands in it.

Do Buffallos still exist??

We were told in my country that Buffallos were american propaganda used to instill pride, but had in fact died out long before man stepped boot on american soil.

Live and learn, I suppose.

No, all the buffaloes were killed for their wings some time back.

There is a buffalo farm somewhere near here... we found one day during a hike through the woods. That was after we found the biggest field of weed I have ever seen... so maybe it wasn't really there.

Most, but not all.....
I know for sure a few still exist on the Olympic Peninsula.
There's an animal preserve that you can drive through up there.
And there's one pasture full of buffalo.
They're scary and totally huge.

They saunter up to the window of your pickup truck and look down at you.
You can tell they're deciding whether or not to tip the truck over just for the hell of it.

I thought those were the truckstop prostitutes?

I was born in Nebraska and though I grew up elsewhere we always visited relatives there.  One place we went a few times was the Niobrara Preserve where there are herds of Buffalo/Bison.

This Photo
gives a good comparison between a buffalo and a typical country road.  They are fairly trusting I guess at our size we seem to be no threat to them though cameras seem to freak some of them out.  I heard they see the large lens and think it is a big eye staring at them which tends to tick off alot of animals.
They also have a certain, how should I say, characteristic aroma that is hard to mistake

they had a buffalo get away from a buffalo farm here once
the beast wandered out on the interstate
snarled traffic for hours

they asked the buffalo farmer how he manages buffalo
and he said
"you can lead a buffalo anywhere the buffalo wants to go"

Whoa.......come to think of it, you might be right.

They are actually deciding if your vehicle looks like a female buffalo.  If so you're going to need some major dent repair!

Crap!

Most buffaloes were devoured when we had that lab accident and all those North American Great Prairie Squid were released into the wild.
