Dallas police are on the lookout for a man who could face assault charges for throwing a frozen armadillo at a 57-year-old woman near Dallas.

The woman, My Fox Dallas-Fort Worth reports, met the man in a parking lot to purchase the armadillo carcass, which she planned to eat.

During a fight over its price, he hit her with the animal in the leg and the chest, leaving bruises on her body.

This is one of those stories where you just really don't know where to begin.

Armadillo: It tastes like chicken..

Actually, it's sposed to taste like very good pork, according to a Nat'l Geo article I read years & years ago.

Bad thing is that armadillos can transmit leprosy to humans.

I think she’s fibbing. She really wanted to put a Lone Star long neck in his tiny little armadillo hands and just leave him on the side of the road.

I DON’T CARE WHO YOU ARE, THAT RIGHT THERE IS FUNNY!

Seriously, armadillos carry the organism that causes leprosy. I hope it had been well bleached before any of this.

I think the police report was mis-read. The weapon in question was a “frozen, armored dildo.”

Eat?

Armadillos reportedly carry leprosy.

My solution: .22, then scoop into the front end loader and a quick trip to the back 50 -- to leave them for the buzzards, coyotes, hogs, ...whatever...

Possum-On-The-Halfshell Ping.

I’m now almost positive that the roadkill Rick Perry has eaten is armadillo.

Whoopin’ by amarillo, but it didn’t happen in Armadillo.

Self ping, because it's Friday night, I'm in Texas, I have beer, and I know someone that needs to be whooped with an armadillo.

I may have to go look for an armadillo tonight. After I clean out the freezer.
