Creepy
Absolutely creepy.
And from the look of it, Jeb's put a few on the bench in Florida. After all, Florida
is "America's wang" as the joke goes. So it will be an interesting result when three-quarters of Florida's entertainment and tourism industry has to pack up 'cuz their kind ain't wanted 'round there. Think of the impact on the old people! Hairdressers and florists and decorators ... all
gone in the blink of an eye.
Seriously, though, Florida's obscene and has been for years. Something about Disney World stole the soul of that place, and it's never really been quite right. It's a cosmopolitan backwater. I mean, what makes it so funny is that Florida is where they prefer
housing children with convicted murderers and accused child molesters in order to spare them the evils of lesbian parenting. :bugeye:
It's sickeningly funny. I'm laughing because the only alternative is to get unreasonably furious about such things. I mean, sure, it's not like they're
burning down sick people's homes this time, but I think Florida has a bit of work to do in order to demonstrate that they [urlhttp://www.gopbi.com/partners/pbpost/news/election2000.html]understand the idea of the 21st century[/url].
I just found
this list of weird laws. Florida's list:
• Women may be fined for falling asleep under a hair dryer, as can the salon owner.
• A special law prohibits unmarried women from parachuting on Sunday or she shall risk arrest, fine, and/or jailing.
• If an elephant is left tied to a parking meter, the parking fee has to be paid just as it would for a vehicle.
• It is illegal to sing in a public place while attired in a swimsuit.
• Men may not be seen publicly in any kind of strapless gown.
• Having sexual relations with a porcupine is illegal.
• It is illegal to skateboard without a license.
• When having sex, only the missionary position is legal.
I mean, is it that some of these laws exist because
someone has done this?
Sex with a
porcupine? Elephants tied to parking meters?
That's it, I need a strapless gown and tickets to Disney World.
It's Florida. Let's see if they get the signatures, if they're capable of voting it into law, and then let them deal with the hideous slew of lawsuits. Something tells me that lawsuit money is coming from the school budgets.
The comedy of the American civic arena.
Sounds like late-nite macabre theatre.
Where's Elvira, or Rhonda whatsit when you need her? Maybe Gilbert Gottfried will be hired as a campaign spokesperson.
Yes, I'm being hard on Florida. I'm tired of bad news from Florida ... :bugeye:
I can't possibly take this seriously. That is, it's a serious problem, but I can't even begin to estimate the absolutely gut-wrenching comedic value ... "grass" fire. I got yer grassfire right here. I think the fact that more earthquakes are in California and not Florida speaks as evidence against the idea of a just God, at the very least.
I know ... we can take all the petition signers, make a special federal grant program, and send them to Cuba, bringing an equivalent number of Cubans to the United States, thus making a level trade of backwater twits who would throw away liberty for a handful of people who need and will cherish that liberty.
We could talk the petition-signers into it: tell them the land is dirt-cheap and the weather that much better.
Why not? Since we're already talking wholesale social exclusion, why not take it one step further and make the situation into a net gain for the community?
That's it ... someone bring me my pipe ... oh, here it is.
thanx.
