And to think some of these laws are there for a reason? Porcupines and Floridians? Whuuuu? Somebody went drinking with a fish? Somebody was trolling while driving on a bridge! Cain't afford a boat, orficer! But that last one from Florida...about the doors...here in 1913 there was the Italian Hall Disaster...over 70 lost their lives because they suffocated at the bottom of a stairwell, a Christmas party. Wouldn't you love to have read the letters-to-the-editors? Ummm, yeah, my neighbor, Fred, has taken up with a porcupine and a law needs to be put in effect. Where was the porcupine-lovers lobby at the time?
I can think of some laws...or regulations...current...like in some Florida condominium associations you can't hang wash on the line, you can't have a vehicle older than 5 years, you can't open the hood on the vehicle unless it is in your garage...or places where everyone must have the same colored curtains, big buildings, curb appeal. Then they have laws or what not here in town...you can only pile snow in front of YOUR property, can't push it across the road, can't do this, can't do that, but they never enforce it...you only get these happy notes in the mail, The Village Voice, same thing, year in year out. Like they're appeasing the more vocal element by Doing Their Duty and all it does it cause indigestion for those with a No Where To Put It life.
What a pity!
