NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Let the record reflect that the Tennessee state Senate has endorsed fish tanks and live birds in barber shops.

The Senate on Wednesday voted 30-1 for a measure allowing barber shops to display live fish and birds. A companion bill passed the House earlier this month and the legislation is headed to the governor.

Why would there be a law for this at all?

Why does gov’t think they have a right to stick their nose that far into peoples lives?

Oh well, guess that’s up to the people of Tenn to decide/vote.

Will they end up charging scale?

Are roosters supposed to BYOC? (bring your own comb?)

Sounds like an opportunity for Barber-Q chicken if you ask me.

They’re trying to hook people to get in on a cut of the business.
