Fools Reunited

Is it just me or is Blogland a tad lifeless at the moment?

Is everyone under water or simply on holiday?

Whatever the reason I'm feeling a little isolated and wondered if it was something I said?

So what can I do to breathe some life into this blog and spread a little fun, frivolity and foolishness? - I don't know!

Let's try with this:

Stupid Laws in USA

I am assured that these are real standing laws from around the United States of America. I suspect some have been repealed, and a few may even be fictional, but I have no direct knowledge, so please don't take them too seriously.

Georgia:

It is illegal to tie a giraffe to a lamp post

Hawaii:

You will be fined if you do not own a boat.

Florida:

Men may not be seen publicly in any kind of strapless gown

Connecticut:

A pickle is not officially a pickle unless it bounces

Colorado:

It is illegal for a woman wearing a red dress to be out on the streets after 7 pm

California

It is illegal to eat an orange in your bath tub

Alaska

Even though it is legal to hunt a bear, it is illegal to wake a bear and take a picture for photo opportunities

Alabama

It is illegal for a driver to be blindfolded while operating a vehicle

REMEMBER - MOST SMILES ARE STARTED BY ANOTHER SMILE

It can be difficult to find one when you need a "plausible" excuse for not doing something or for not being where you should be.

Next time you're stuck for something to say try one of these:

I'd love to, but.. My favourite commercial is on TV.

I can't come in today because....I'm converting my calendar watch from Julian to Gregorian.

I'd love to, but.... None of my socks match.

I'd love to, but.... I'm worried about my vertical hold.

I'd love to, but.... I prefer to remain an enigma.

I can't come in today because.... I have to wash/condition/perm/curl/tease/torment my hair.

That would be fine, except that.... I'm getting my overalls overhauled.

That would be fine, except that.... I'm sandblasting my oven.

I'd love to, but.... It's too close to the turn of the century.

That would be fine, except that....I just picked up a book called "Glue in Many Lands" and I can't put it down.

That would be fine, except that.... My palm reader advised against it.

That would be fine, except that.... I did my own thing and now I've got to undo it.

NOW YOU'VE GOT NO EXCUSE FOR BEING AS DAFT AS ME!

Keeping abreast of things and turning the other cheek!

These two news items clearly demonstrate sex discrimination!

Nude blonde, gold stilettos and a Ferrari..

BERLIN (Reuters) - A mysterious blonde paid a visit to a petrol station shop in the small eastern German town of Doemitz on Sunday -- wearing nothing but a pair of golden stilettos and a thin gold bracelet.
The tall, slender woman strolled into the shop in the town of Doemitz on the warm afternoon and bought cigarettes, petrol station employee Ines Swoboda told Reuters on Monday.
"I wasn't surprised because she's come in naked before -- she's a very nice woman," Swoboda said, adding none of the other customers was bothered. The woman could have faced charges of creating a public disturbance if anyone had complained.
A quick-witted customer did, however, snap pictures of the woman believed to be about 30 years old as she walked back to a waiting Ferrari and climbed into the passenger seat. Several of those photos appeared in the German media on Monday.

Tourists fined for cycling nude in heatwave.

BELGRADE (Reuters) - Two Austrians and a German were fined for cycling naked along the banks of the River Danube in Serbia where a heatwave has sent temperatures soaring.
"Police arrived after being alerted by passers-by," said police spokesman Stevan Krstic in the northern city of Novi Sad.
Temperatures in Serbia and other parts of the Balkans have hovered stubbornly for the past week at around 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit).
The three men were brought to a magistrate on charges of disrupting public peace and order and were fined 10,000 dinars (125 euros) each.

I guess the lesson to be learned is "if you're going to travel naked go by Ferrari and not by bike"!

GO ON - BE A FOOL AND GO SKATEBOARDING IN THE NUDE!
