BETHEL PARK, Pa. - Bethel Park repealed its ordinance outlawing sexual relations with deer carcasses last week, and local merchants can't get enough of the dead animals to satisfy consumer demand. "They're flying off the shelves," said Bradleys Roadhouse, manager of Bethel Park's Wal-Mart. "Well, not literally flying, because they're dead, but right now they're our top seller."
Mayor Julius Marx said that the new law simply articulates what has long been a common practice in Bethel Park. "Every year at this time, there are many Bethel Park men making doe eyes at the deer, so we figured we might as well make it legal."
But it isn't just Bethel Park citizens who are benefiting from the new law. Noah Swayne, 20, and his cousin Jed Swayne, 19, of Chambersburg, West Virgina, made the long trek from home to wait in line at Bethel Park's Wal-Mart for four hours. They bought the last carcass in the store. Their younger wives, waiting for the boys in the pick-up truck, said they don't object to their husbands engaging in an inter-species threesome.
"This is definitely one area where Pennsylvania is way, way ahead of West Virginia," said Noah Swayne.
