St. Valentine's Day

From today’s St. Petersburg Times -

“The Lowry Zoo, Tampa, Florida - 6-9 p.m. Singles, couples and groups of friends (ages 21 and up) are invited to the zoo to take a look into the pairing, partnering and mating habits of our animal residents. This special evening event features up-close animal encounters, romantic refreshments and dinner. Advance reservations are required. The event is $45 per person for Zoo Pass holders, or $50 per person for non-Zoo Pass holders. Discounts are available for groups.”

Why people would want to pay to watch animals having sexual encounters is beyond my scope of rational thinking. But today is Valentine’s Day and love is in the air.

The Lowry Zoo will be packed tonight with people paying $50 per person for a mediocre dinner and to see an animal porn show.

Why? It befuddles me, so I have no answer.

It would be less expensive to take your Valentine Day's lover to a classy restaurant and rent a good Porn flick from the local video store.

It's a case of whatever turns you on!

Animals pairing, partnering and mating does nothing for my libido. But, for some, it must be very sexually arousing. Personally, I rather watch the Paris Hilton video – “One night in Paris”. And I can't stand Paris.

I’ll be spending Valentine’s Day night at home with the one that I love the best, myself. I’ll be watching cable TV, but it wont be the Animal Channel.

Happy Valentine’s Day to all of you lovers out there!
