They Grow Fruitcakes & Peaches In Georgia

This is not an anti-socialism rant - this is just plain silly. Check out this link below that notes a bill about to be proposed by 2 Republicans and 1 Democrat:

Don't we all know someone who had damn well better be served regardless of the law? I'm not necessarily talking big and husky either - diminutive and homicidal works as well. It is by no stretch of the imagination gender-specific either.

My apologies to my friend Pat in Georgia - I know there are a lot more peaches than there are fruitcakes! (Pat-just keep the apology for future use-see addendum)

Just once, wouldn't you like to get on a motorcycle, take off your helmet, drive fast, and fail to pay income taxes?

I usually opt for a four door vehicle, seat belt, and nothing that ever draws attention to my taxes - that's because my wife does them. She tells me where to sign and I do - just like I do'd almost 30 years ago now. She's the most honest person I know - believe me she can be annoyingly honest when it comes to teaching a kid a lesson. Well, me too I guess.

One thing we can both agree on though, if you can fit your butt in through the front door of any establishment in the North Country, you'll get a chair for each cheek if necessary.

ADDENDUM: I will not change the title of the post because it will serve to prove that they grow nitwits in New York, and it will also serve as a reminder to me that if I'm going post immediately upon waking up in the morning, it would be best to remove my cranial container from the aperture of my hindquarters. The law was proposed in Mississippi, not Georgia, and I have my friend Al to thank for pointing that out to me.

Yeah but they all don't reside down there, Brattleborro Vt. has its share.

Besides the fact that the law is obviously unconstitutional and that some obese people have no control over their weight...what does a law proposed in Mississippi have to do with Georgia?
