How About Coming Up With a Ban of Your Own

With a new batch of legislators headed of to Congress, Madison, and Municipal Boards around the country, you can bet something is going to be targeted to be banned. Kenosha is instituting a ban on texting while driving. In Madison they are thinking about a ban on bisphenol A in plastics. I'm not saying all bans are ill thought out or stupid. It's something we are going to see a lot more in the future. Knowing the JTIs, this is a group that could come up with bans; some serious, some darn right....well you know. Perhaps one like this: Banning driving while operating a motor vehicle.....

PLEASE, a ban on showing your butt crack and underwear in public. Shouldn't this already be "covered" under laws that prohibit public indecency? Last guy I saw like that, I said, "Hey, your diaper must be full because it's pulling your pants down." Boy, did he give me a dirty look as he tugged at his crotch.

I agree, butt cracks in public should be banned!!!!! I am not a fan of the lets show off our boxers club either!! Too funny Orbs!!I'd like to ban people from putting full size speakers in any car. You know its bad when you can hear the car coming 6 blocks away!!!!!!!!

Definitely Ban:

Wearing bluetooth headphones unless you are driving.

Boys wearing clothes > 1 size too big.

Girls wearing clothes < 1 size too small.

Wearing whatever Orbs is wearing.

Maybe not ban but Limit:

The temperature of the hot air escaping politician's mouths.

The time spent looking for lost golf ball to 3 minutes.

The time spent looking for exact change to 30 seconds.

The time spent deciding on the soup or salad to 5 seconds.

Hey...ban all CEOs. Also ban people who cannot take a joke. Definately ban people who talk into their phones while walking. I keep thinking they are talking to me. Do NOT ban stupid crooks. They are an enjoyment.

kkdither said...

Rats, hale, no fair! I'll settle for banning arrogance, condescension and smugness then.

AA........

How do you spend time?

It’s not like you can walk in a joint and ask “how many units of time do you want for a burger and beer”?

Or you can get this car for 15,000 units of time!

Then some idiot would want to break time down...a weeks worth, day, hour, minute. It would be out of control!

Now what would you do with all this extra time you have squirreled away?

Personally, I can think of some very nice naughty things to do...and I’m not telling!!!

Ban sleepwear in public. I see people in their PJs at the Walgreens I go to, especially on weekend mornings. Wtf. Get dressed before you go out.

Ban people from the grocery store that use a ton coupons and three-quarters of them are expired so they decide they don't want the item anymore.
