That reminds me of the time a traveling circus planned to give a performance in Baton Rouge. Gov. Huey Long sent word that they could not do so on the night of an LSU football game, but they replied that the show must go on. He then informed them that his Department of Agriculture would not allow any circus animals to enter Louisiana until they had been sheep-dipped. The performance was rescheduled.
