Llama Activities?

In Georgia, there is a warning sign required to be posted at "llama activities," and the same warning has to be put into contracts for "llama activities." (Ga. Code Ann. § 4-12-5) It says:

"WARNING Under Georgia law, a llama activity sponsor or llama professional is not liable for an injury to or the death of a participant in llama activities resulting from the inherent risks of llama activities, pursuant to Chapter 12 of Title 4 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated."

If you do not post this notice, a llama professional can be liable for injury or death of a participant in llama activies. It does not take a terribly warped mind to consider just what the "llama activites" are.

No Begging for Drinks in California

Dallas Placards

How many times have we seen someone on television walking down the sidewalk, wearing a sign that says "Eat at Joe's," or something similar? Not in Dallas! Under Ord. Nos. 5304; 10372; and 22061, it is illegal to "to carry or hold by hand or otherwise, any billboard, showcard, placard or advertisement or sign of any description for the purpose of advertising" on streets, sidewalks, or any other public property.

The Government Can Gouge You?

Many (if not all) states, including Alabama, have laws outlawing usury, the charging of excessive interest rates. In Oxford, Alabama, the local development authority is exempt from state laws "governing usury or prescribing or limiting interest rates." (Ala. Code Sec. 45-8A-111.15)

So, while a banker could be indicted for charging too much interest, the government could charge whatever it wants when it makes a loan?

Does this Include Sleeping on the Job?

In Colorado, it is illegal to impersonate a public servant. (Col. Stat. § 18-8-113) It is also no defense that the office does not really exist, so it is still a crime to claim to be an inspector for the "Colorado Department of Lingerie Fit Inpections" or a taker of survey questionnaire taker for the "Colorado Department of Repetitive Redundancies."

Is There a Market For This?

In Georgia, "it shall be lawful to sell the tails of legally taken squirrels." (Ga. Code Ann. § 27-3-23)

And should I presume that there is (or was at one time) a market for squirrel tails in Georgia?

No Taxis on MSU Campus?
