WTF Is It Now?!?

Blog A Day Tour?

(Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Nope, we're not at the end of the Amish Tech Support 2003 Blog A Day Tour yet, so here's another post from Laurence Simon on a blog that isn't his...)

They've seen the carnage and wreckage from Israel when mad suicide bombers release flames and shrapnel, and the people of Bend, Oregon are taking matters in to their own hands in the War on Terror. They want to ban chemical weapons of a sort from their own buses:

Proposed new city rules would ban spitting, smoking, skateboarding, and stinking on city buses.

The regulations ban anyone who "emanates a grossly repulsive odor that is unavoidable by other Bend Extended Area Transit customers" from being in the bus station or on a bus.

"It's an effort to keep the riding experience as pleasant and safe as possible," said city attorney Jim Forbes. He noted that the city already has an ordinance prohibiting people from releasing "highly objectionable odors" from their property.

If only the Japanese had such an ordinance before those terrorists released the Sarin gas in the subways.

"Excuse me, but there's a highly objectionable odor coming from your property. Would you mind opening that canister with the skull and crossbones on it outside?"
