Ladies only, I assume.

And lumberjacks.

Beware the co-bra. Admit the ze-bra. Light a candela-bra.

I wave my hand and they all disappear when I utter, Abracada-bra!!

Hey! You can’t assume they’re all the females of the species. I know more than a couple of guys who like wearing bras. And more who "should.*

It’s also known as a bottomless pit.

La Brea means pit so La Brea Tar Pits is Tar pit pit. (Sounds like my lawnmower trying to start up.

Tar pits get a bad rap. You think they swallowed up animals wholesale. Actually they averaged about one animal every 100 years or so. Of course, when you are in operation for millions of years, that does add up.

The feline on the right is apparently a sabra-tooth tiger.

That looks more like La Habra.

Nobody’s doing pushups?

Over the shoulders boulder holders required to enter the pits!

Fence the darned thing in, according to the law firm of Dewey, Cheatum, and Howe.

Careful – the PC Police are watching to see if anyone laughs…

That should be enclosed in a building, with a La Bra Door.

Parisi, the SPCA is going to hear about this!

Now known as the La Brea Par T1ts…
