Friday File – Building is on fire? Put that fork down immediately!

It’s Friday so let’s bring some levity to the week’s woes, shall we?

The “law”; there’s always lots of it and plenty to say about it.  Suppose for a moment, all of the draconian laws ever put into place were suddenly resurrected.  You, my dear reader, might be watching your Ps and Fs!  If you are in Joliet, Illinois, I’d watch my PRONUNCIATION of the city’s name, and if you are here in CHItown, be mindful of the nearest FIRE when eating your deep dish pizza!

Let me get this straight:  there is a law that prevents one from eating food whilst in a building that is on fire, but is does not preclude BEING on fire? The picture above seems to serve as permission to also read a newspaper whilst on fire, but NOT , in any way, shape or formed food substance can you enjoy your food while in the company of flames!

I suppose then it is quite acceptable to even EAT the fire, but not to slurp one’s soup in the building which contains the smoke and flames.

I would be lackadaisical if I did not expose this enlightening ordinance found in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

It is against the law to go nude in your own home if the blinds are up.

That’s right, kitty-kat, keep those shades shut when you are skulking around your abode in your birthday suit.  After all, it’s the naked truth!

    Love this!! So fun and it reminds of a game for/by/about lawyers that my kiddo and I came across last summer while on a road trip…and I wrote about it here! http://paperkeeper.wordpress.com/2013/08/10/fun-and-games/

    Such silly laws – I guess some people have a great sense of humor!? 🙂
