For some reason, that pic reminds me of an old Jerry Clower story involving lizard boots.
A woman screamed "Those boots are lizard boots!"
"Yes ma'am, they are."
"Some poor lizard had to die so you could have a pair of lizard boots!"
"No ma'am, a Greyhound bus run over this lizard..."
...
"No ma'am. This cow was killed by a freight train hauling sheet rock to Wichita."
