How could I live if I didn’t occasionally run across these stories and have the ability to mock them?
But God is good, and He sends me lots of links.
The Massapequa Park Village Board has decided that unmowed lawns are more of a safety hazard than letting child rapists roam the streets.
That’s right, folks. Let your grass grow an inch longer than your neighbors, and you could soon be slapped with a 10,000 dollar fine. Let’s spell that out, so there’s no mistake about the zeroes: A TEN THOUSAND DOLLAR FINE.
Sex offenders usually get off with a far lesser sentence than that.
But in the hoity toity village of Massaqua Park, New York, the ten thousand dollar law apparently passes muster.
Massaqua Park? A new reason not to live there. Stick with my Colorado double-wide. Be grateful.
