A Presto

Ciao People! I'll be back next week. Have a great week and weekend. I leave you with this: outdated and unrevised laws in Los Angeles. See you soon.

    • Toads may not be licked.

      You may not hunt moths under a street light.

      It is a crime for dogs to mate within 500 yards of a church. Breaking
      this law is punishable by a fine of $500 and/or six months in prison.

      You cannot bathe two babies in the same tub at the same time.

      Zoot suits are prohibited.

      It is illegal to cry on the witness stand.

      It is illegal for a man to beat his wife with a strap wider than 2
      inches without her consent.

maybe THIS will bring you back...

>>>Toads may not be licked.
Sort of makes that TCU/USC game seem a little more interesting, doesn't it?

>>>You may not hunt moths under a street light.
Rather, you need to lure them to an ally, were they think that's just a rug on the ground, but really it's a trap! The moths fall down, and can't get out of the hole you've dug.

Hmm. I wonder they pay the fine with, bones?
-

>>>You cannot bathe two babies in the same tub at the same time.
Not really a law, just some motherly advice...
-

>>>Zoot suits are prohibited.
The State of California has deemed is as a safety hazard, because wearing one of those things will SET THE HOUSE ON FIRE!!!!

I like zoot suits. I think they really swing. That's just me, though.
-

>>>It is illegal to cry on the witness stand.
A corollary being there's no crying in baseball, but hey, it's the Dodgers we're talking about, here...
-

>>>It is illegal for a man to beat his wife with a strap wider than 2 inches without her consent.
I'm sorry, I trailed off for a moment there...what was the question again?

Here is one for you:
In order to have a contract to do work for the City of Los Angeles your firm has to state weither or not it ever held slaves or was part of the slave trade. I believe only Chicago is the only other city to have the same requirement.
