I've been lucky so far about not getting caught, but I guess now I'm going to have to get that permit so I can keep crawling around in the public sewers. Next to sweeping, it's my favorite pastime.

Well I'd love to know what's wrong with using mules to hunt ducks -- except they'd be so loud they'd scare the ducks away, lol!

According to this, Boston people can't go to bed on Sundays, because they can't take a bath!:laugh:

It's against the law here (Arizona) to

1) Hunt camels (there's a reason),

2) Refuse anyone a drink of water (I'd like to know the details on that one, but no idea)
