Crazy Laws

Penal Code 6260, California State Vehicle Act, Chapter XVIII, Paragrapf 187, reads:
It is a misdemeanor to shoot any kind of game bird or mammal--except a whale, from an automobile or an airplane.

Ordinance No. 16 of Columbus, Mont. provides that;
Any person who shall not lift his hat to the Mayor as he passes him in the street, will be guilty of a misdemeanor.

Boys are prohibited from throwing snowballs at trees within the city limits of Mt. Pulaski, Ill., according to Section 37 of the Revised Ordinances of that city.

All Wisconsin boarding houses clubs, hotels and restaurants must serve with every meal sold at twenty-five cents or more, not less than two-thirds of an ounce of cheese.

Connecticut General Statutes provides for the punishment by fine or imprisonment for the "Enticing of a neighbor's bees".

The Revised Statutes of Kansas, 1923, state: It shall be unlawful for any person to exhibit in a public way within the State of Kansas, any sort of exhibition that consists of the eating or pretending to eat of snakes, lizaeds, scorpions, centipedes, tarantulas, or other reptiles.

The State Housing Act of California, Sec. 74 reads: No horse, cow, calf, swine, sheep, goat, mule, or other animal, chicken, pigeon, goose, duck, or other poultry shall be kept in any apartment house or hotel or any part thereof.

In Alderson W.Va, an ordinance states: No lions shall be allowed to run wild on the streets of this city.

This is the law in Kansas: When two trains approach each other at a crossing, they shall both come to a complete stop, and neither shall start up until the other has gone.

In 1907, Michigan passed a law which reads: An act to provide for the lawful taking of suckers, mullet, dogfish, and lawyers from the Sturgeon River

Check out these types of crossbred dogs...

Pointer + Setter = Poinsetter, a traditional Christmas pet

Kerry Blue Terrier + Skye Terrier = Blue Skye, a dog for visionaries

Great Pyrenees + Dachshund = Pyradachs, a puzzling breed

Pekingnese + Lhasa Apso = Peekasso, an abstract dog

Irish Water Spaniel + English Springer Spaniel = Irish Springer, a dog fresh and clean as a whistle

Labrador Retriever + Curly Coated Retriever = Lab Coat Retriever, the choice of research scientists everywhere

Newfoundland + Basset Hound = Newfound Asset Hound, a dog for financial advisors

Terrier + Bulldog = Terribull, a dog that makes awful mistakes

Bloodhound + Labrador = Blabador, a dog that barks incessantly

Malamute + Pointer = Moot Point, a dog that....oh, well, it doesn't matter anyway

Collie + Malamute = Commute, a dog that travels to work

Deerhound + Terrier = Derriere, a dog that's true to the end

Bull Terrier + Shitzu = Bullshitz, a gregarious but unreliable breed

Corporate Stupidity

"As of tomorrow, employees will only be able to access the building using individual security cards. Pictures will be taken next Wednesday, and employees will receive their cards in two weeks."
(Microsoft Corp. in Redmond WA)

"What I need is an exact list of specific unknown problems we might encounter."
(Lykes Lines Shipping)

"E-mail is not to be used to pass on information or data. It should be used only for company business."
(Accounting manager, Electric Boat Company)

"This project is so important we can't let things that are more important interfere with it."
(Advertising/Marketing manager, United Parcel Service)

"Doing it right is no excuse for not meeting the schedule."
(Plant Manager, Delco Corporation)

"No one will believe you solved this problem in one day! We've been working on it for months. Now go act busy for a few weeks and I'll let you know when it's time to tell them."
(R&D supervisor, Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing/3M Corp.)

Quote from the Boss: "Teamwork is a lot of people doing what I say."
(Marketing executive, Citrix Corporation)

My sister passed away and her funeral was scheduled for Monday. When I told my Boss, he said she died on purpose so that I would have to miss work on the busiest day of the year. He then asked if we could change her burial to Friday. He said, "That would be better for me."
(Shipping executive, FTD Florists)

"We know that communication is a problem, but the company is not going to discuss it with the employees."
(Switching supervisor, AT&T Long Lines Division)

Things you would never know if it weren't for the movies...

Large, loft apartments in New York City are plentiful and affordable, even if the tenants are unemployed.

One of a pair of identical twins is evil.

Should you decide to defuse a bomb, don't worry about which wire to cut. You will always choose the right one.

It doesn't matter if you are greatly outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts. Your enemies will wait patiently to attack you one by one... dancing around in a threatening manner until you have dispatched their predecessors.

When you turn out the light to go to bed, everything in your bedroom will still be clearly visible but slightly blue.

If you are blonde and pretty, it is possible to be a world-famous expert on nuclear fission, dinosaurs, hieroglyphics, or anything else, at the age of 22.

Honest and hard-working policemen are usually gunned down a day or two before retirement.

Rather than wasting bullets, megalomaniacs prefer to kill their enemies using complex machinery involving fuses, deadly gasses, lasers, buzz saws and hungry sharks, all of which will give their captives at least 20 minutes to escape.

During all crime investigations, it is necessary to visit a strip club at least once.

All beds have special L-shaped covers that reach up to the armpits of a woman but only to the waist of the man lying beside her.

All grocery shopping bags contain at least one French bread and one bunch of carrots with leafy tops.

It's easy to land a plane, providing there is someone in the control tower to talk you down.

If you are beautiful, your makeup never rubs off, even while scuba-diving or fighting aliens. However if you are overweight, your mascara will run and your lipstick will smear.

The ventilation system of any building is the perfect hiding place. No one will ever think of looking for you in there, and you can travel to any other part of the building without difficulty.

You're very likely to survive any battle in any war unless you make the mistake of showing someone a picture of your sweetheart back home.

Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German officer, it is not necessary to speak the language. A German accent will do.

A man will show no pain while taking the most horrific beating, but will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds.

If staying in a haunted house, women must investigate any strange noises in their most diaphanous underwear, which is what they happened to be wearing when the car broke down.

If someone says "I'll be right back", they won't.

Even when driving down a perfectly straight road, it is necessary to turn the steering wheel from time to time.

All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices with large red readouts so you know exactly when they're going to go off.

A police detective can only solve a case after he has been suspended from duty.

If you decide to start dancing in the street, everyone around you will be able to mirror all the steps you come up with, and hear the music in your head.

Police departments give their officers personality tests to make sure each is assigned a partner who is their total opposite.

When they are alone, all foreigners prefer to speak English to each other.

Happy Hump Day everyboomie! wave2


Today I'm going to hump it on out to the sod patch again. yay


I'm thinking, why stay home and workout when I can lose 10 pounds out there digging for arrowheads. razz


I did workout today though. thumbsup


As long as I have mirrors in my house I'll keep working out. If I look in the mirror and don't like what I see (which is 90% of the time), I'm motivated to keep pushing myself. If I look in the mirror and like what I see, I'm motivated to keep doing more. hamster


I mowed this evening (Tuesday), and got that little chore out of my way for another 3 or 4 days. cool


I can go to Wally World on Thump Day, and get more thumping groceries. woot


Sall good. wink


Have a happy day everyone.


joe

Kitten alert. Today, after yesterday, seeing Mom Cat wandering in weird places (like all the way to the back lot) and seeing no kittens who should have been born 2 weeks ago exactly, I go out to feed the Outdoorsies and find the usual crew on the feeding table, including Mom Cat (normal) and then I look to the right of my back door and there on the deck is a small black kitten. Duh. Bad Mommy! She was obviously moving it and heard the 'food' and just dropped it.

I grabbed it, put it closer to the feeding area but she ignored it. The other cats, however, were all over it, sniffing, licking, cuddling, playing. Nice siblings. So then Mom Cat splits across the driveway, under the neighbor's fence (it's a long worn route) and comes back with another small, black kitty. This one she deposits safely in the 'tunnel'. It's one of those crawly things for kids, but the cats love it. I had repositioned it a few days ago and I guess Mom Cat figured it was a good place for kittens.

So off Mom cat goes across the driveway again, but comes back twice with no more kitties. Dunno if there are still any next door, but I'm not going hunting as they are probably safely under all the huge expanse of Oleander bushes. She will find them if she wants.

The wanderer kitten I placed IN the tunnel when Mom Cat made her 3rd trip. It continues to crawl out and gets played with by the youngest of the ferals (the lone survivor of the last litter). Then happily, the other little guy joined it just outside the tunnel and they both went back inside. Hopefully Mom Cat will tend to them appropriately. She's not a good mom. The one I picked up, I tried to get Mom Cat to come and get it, but Mom just looked and ignored it, I'm thinking she felt it was safe with all the other older cats.

Eyes were open on the Wanderer Probably going to name it that if it survives. Going to be a hectic day keeping track of 2 or more kittens and Mom Cat and her lazy ways. Wild things all over the place. Why Me? insane

Back from the vet. Keoki's blood test was good...not anemic at the moment. Will continue to monitor!

Boys just dropped off by mom....no idea they were coming.

Hi, Midge here for the moment. Read the posts. Sorta I love reading your posts. You should write a novel about all the escapades of your cat doings on. I hope you have more good news than bad news about your kittens.

I'm falling asleep. Time to call it a night. I hope you all had a good day today. See you in the morning.

Midgie sleep wavegirl


Just do it.
