Dont shoot!

Las Vegas hockey team give-away to spoof Cheney's shooting mishap
Associated Press

LAS VEGAS - A minor league hockey team is spoofing Vice President Dick Cheney's recent hunting mishap with a plan to distribute bright orange hunting vests printed with the words, "Don't Shoot, I'm Human."

The Las Vegas Wranglers plan to distribute 1,000 vests to fans arriving for Friday's game as part of a promotion dubbed "Dick Cheney Hunting Vest Night" at the Orleans Arena.

"It was sort of too juicy not to do," said Billy Johnson, Wranglers president and chief operating officer. "It's one of those events in pop culture."

He referred to Cheney accidentally wounding a hunting partner while quail hunting Feb. 11 on a Texas ranch.

Cheney's office in Washington, D.C., did not immediately respond Monday to requests for comment. Cheney was scheduled to be in Norfolk, Va., Monday for a fundraiser for a Republican congresswoman seeking re-election in November.

The Wranglers, of the East Coast Hockey League, are scheduled to play the Alaska Aces on Friday. The 7,000-seat arena is at the Orleans hotel-casino.

I want one of these. 8-)

But what do you do if the shooter can't read?

I would have loved to see a press conference with all the reporters dressed in hunter orange.
