Pinball ban lifted

[Naildriver74]

Oakland Cal pinball ban has been lifted. Did anybody out there know that there was one?

Pinball was banned in most of the United States a long time ago. Several cities such as New York and Chicago famously lifted their bans in the 1970s. Some places they were never banned and some places never changed the law banning them. Similar to pool hall laws across the states.

It's funny the laws that are still on the books. There's a town in Virgina that says a woman can't drive down Main Street without her husband walking in front of her waving a red flag.

In Toronto - You can’t drag a dead horse down Yonge Street on a Sunday.

In Uxbridge - Residents are not allowed to have an Internet connection faster than 56k.

In Vancouver - Citizens may not publicly remove bandages

In Beaconsfield - Children must not be buried alive in snow deeper than six feet.

A few years ago I read some of a list of those "crazy laws"...
It is so surreal ^^

Six feet is crazy deep to bury someone in snow. That's deep enough that the weight might make it hard to breathe. If you're going to have a law about that then it should be three feet at the most.

Or just depend on the kid

I don't think there should be a law about this. We have too many laws and regulations. But if you're going to have a law just make it make sense.

Here in the USA that's all they know how to do make laws and spend money. If our founding fathers were still around they would be shooting by now.

In France it's illegal to kiss on railways.
And an ashtray is considered to be a deadly weapon.
Touching a woman's bottom is considered illegal on Paris's Metro underground system, but touching their breasts is still allowed.
In a region of the Rhone, it is illegal for UFOs to fly over vineyards.

Unfortunately Starship Troopers & High Roller Casino are still allowed in some seaside campings...

(...) but touching their breasts is still allowed.

Even if this behavior is not literaly specified in the law, the court would still see it as a form
of sexual harassment, don't you think?

I would love to discuss it with you as soon as I get out of jail.
