Hi Terrylynn, thanks for the weird and wacky. I betcha that any of the people in your four examples are not any weirder or wacker than the current crop of politicians trying to devise new weird and wacky laws.
LOL! Great post! Very interesting facts, especially the olives. :)
Bill, I know...just thought lightening the day was in order, a laugh is good for the soul.
Well, that does qualify as Random and Bizarre. But, I have to admit, I laughed out loud at more than a couple. :) Hope you're well!
Thanks for letting me know about that $500 fine, Terrylynn. Now I'll pick some other city to set off my nuclear device in. Thanks for sharing these gems of information. I laughed, I sighed, I shook my head in amazement...
