I wonder if that's where we got our idea for 'beaver trapping licences' back in the 60's?

Don't forget to wear your zoot suit with the drape shape and reat pleat along with this item. You'll get some leg tonight for sure!

I have to wonder if someone bought this to try to fool game wardens in they caught him hunting without a license.

I also have to wonder about the designations -- it reads like it's really only meant for men, so are the 'male' and 'female' indicating which gender he's going to hit on?
