24 Hour "Waiting Period" For Tatoos ??

Sober or not I never saw the need, squid or not!  My kid has a few, they look pretty silly.

My pop had several but 10 years at sea will do that.  Statue of Liberty, a Chiefs "Fouled Anchor" and a dagger running through his forearm.

MA didn't allow them until about ten years back, now they're legal.

One of those things that seemed like a good idea at the time .  

I've been saying that for years! No law is better than a bad law...

Generally speaking, no law is better than a good law.
the best law is subject to abuse and sets the precedent to pass further laws.
No one can reasonably argue that a govt should not impose a certain amount of taxes to defray costs.
the law allowing that set the legal precedent for the NFA and Obummercare.
There is no such thing as a "good" law.

Exactly.  The best laws we've seen are those that undo previous laws...which would not have been passed in the first place if the politicians had use the checklist...either item.

The basic rule of thumb for Govt should be "ignore it and it will go away".
Most "major" issues aren't until they are hyped by attention hungry politicians.

Yep.  Or media dolts.  How many pandemics/epidemics have we been warned about that didn't amount to anything?
They could sensationalize shit coming out of a goose.

Jesus. Yougottabekiddingme!!   
Do they specify how many sheets of toilet paper you can use on your butt or is that still in committee?

[tombogan03884]

I don't know about TP sheet count, but you are limited by law on how much water you can use to flush, and that's federal .
Aren't you glad you live in a "free country" ?

Will Rogers said it best...

"Thank goodness we don't get all the government we pay for."

Too bad what we do get is still too much.

Tom it gets worse, many locals require even stricker rules,  there is no ryhm or reason, some just have a rule, others base it on what else you have in the home or the number of x per y... Its very confusing.

The Feds have laws regulating toilet tank size .

Which is an excellent example of the folly of gubmint sanctioned regulations. They set a limit on water flow for toilets per flush, not realizing that because there is less water flowing, it takes more flushes at times to get the job done, thus negating the savings.

I had to replace the ball flapper for the flush valve in one of our toilets the other day and all the store had in stock were "flow saving" models (adjustable to regulate the close rate of the flap to limit water consumption).... it makes it difficult (even on maximum flow, to flush a couple of kleenex tissues. We use three times the water as we used to, which isn't a large issue since we are on a private well, but it makes it aggravating to have to wait for the tank to refill to re-flush.

My next mission is to visit a couple of "old timey" local hardware stores to see if they have some older stocks of flappers.
