Having Already Prepared For The Impending Recession, North Dakota Lawmakers Focus On Bottle Rockets
The banning of them, specifically. Did you know you could shoot your eye out with those things?
BISMARCK – A bill that would ban the sale of small bottle rockets in the state won a unanimous “do-pass” recommendation Monday from the House Industry, Business and Labor Committee.
Opponents of small bottle rockets want them banned because of their propensity to cause serious eye injuries.
“They are nasty little devils,” said Minot ophthalmologist Darrell Williamsm, who testified on behalf of the bill. “They fly erratically and then explode.”
Nasty little devils. Indeed.
Next legislative session I’m going to petition the old biddies in the legislature to introduce legislation banning forks. They’re sharp, pointy and if you miss your mouth you can stab yourself in the face. Maybe even in the eye.
And why should we put our lives at risk with forks when the much safer spoons are so handy. Then again, spoons do sometimes have sharp edges.
Hmm…
