Rules, Regulations and Laws

A Silly Law in Hood River, Oregon

Juggling is strictly prohibited
Without a license.
What? Are you kidding?
It doesn't make sense.
This is silly and who wrote this law?
That idiot unable to catch a chain saw.




Good thing these guys were in Portland, Oregon
and then last but NOT least:

  9. I tried for months and months to learn how to juggle. I couldn't do it, so I just love to see juggling acts.

    Indeed. Short and sharp and good.

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers! Thanks!
