Odd, but I find fourteen of those sixteen perfectly reasonable.    

[Psychotic Bovine]

I'm fixin' to get me a huge bag of rat's heads to take to the nearest town office in Michigan.

[Lyn-Del]

Odd, but I find fourteen of those sixteen perfectly reasonable.    

Which two do you find UNreasonable?

[Moonshot_1]

What can an alligator be tied to in Detroit?

I may be in Detroit with an alligator someday. Need to know where to tie'em up.

[Willow]

Which two do you find UNreasonable?

Injured robbers and bathing suits.  There was one other that was iffy.    

[Lyn-Del]

Injured robbers and bathing suits.  There was one other that was iffy.    

I agree with that.  As a woman, though, I also consider it unreasonable to think I should have to ask my husband (if I had one) for permission to cut my hair!

[scoot]

and pigeons just take too much paint

they're not all bad.  i could see some of 'em being pretty good for protecting inocent people.  (i have a co-worker that actually had a bird that was painted to look like a parakeet!!)

[Stanley Steamer]

And don't sell dead birds to blind kids!!

YOU SOLD PETIE TO THE BLIND KID? (External Embedding Disabled)

We'll just have to agree to disagree on that.     Too many today seem to want to be married but don't want to be a husband or wife.  A person committed to a marriage no longer belongs to himself or herself.

It wasn't the iffy one for me.    

[FryeVRCCDS0067]

I guess this means it is legal to put a police approved bathing suit on an alligator as long as you don't tie it to a fire hydrant, use it to injure someone breaking into your house or allow a farmer to sleep with it.

I almost feel like this is tied in with 42 somehow.

excellent movie, i've got to watch it again one of these nights!  too bad they didn't make a sequil.

+1  At least it used to be that way. Still is at my house. (well maybe not on the hair front. She cuts it even when I beg her not to.) But on the whole, we do belong to each other. If I were to go out and do something dangerous or stupid and get hurt, it affects her too. We're each half of a whole. Those of you who have experienced that know what I'm talking about. Those who haven't have missed the best thing in life.

[Fudd]

I'm suprised it's not illegal for farmers to sleep with their ducks.  Everybody knows they're just "qwack whores."
