It's In the Air

The Sovereign State of California has long been the butt of jokes from other States.  For some time, it has been fashionable to make cruel slurs and insults as to the residents sanity.  Frankly, it stings.  I may live here but:  I didn't pass the following laws and had they been on the ballot, I would not have voted for them as I believe Common Sense (rumors of his/her/gender neutral demise are false) would take care of the following:

It is no longer legal for prison guards to have sex with the inmates.  A spurned lover could set fire to the whole place which is hardly fair on the non-sexually involved residents.

You cannot throw a Frisbee on any LA County beach without the permission of the Life Guard.  I see a wonderful chance here for said guards to make a little extra over their salary…

Women driving your kids to school, do not wear a housecoat.  It's against the law.  I think this would require information on what constitutes a "housecoat" as they vanished circa 1954.

Animals are not allowed to have sex within 1,500 feet of a tavern, school or place of worship.  I can understand that a school yard tryst between two dogs could raise some awkward questions from children, but taverns?  Is it believed that the sight of animal copulations would make the alcohol-impaired grab the nearest opposite sex (or not, this being California) and have at it?

Speaking of dogs, in San Francisco, all dogs must have their owners on a leash.  Which raised the question from a commentator as to whether the dogs must be required to clean up owner's poop?

Today I heard a possible explanation for all of the above.  It's in the air.  The weatherman advised us this morning that on Wednesday "unstable air"  may cause thunderstorms.  Unstable air … yup.  That explains a lot.  You're welcome.
