I recalled seeing this ordinance on one of my daily Weird News widgets, but I didn’t comment on it because I’ve been so steenkin’ busy as of late.

So, I want to give a big Hooty-Hoo to Orange City Mayor Harley Strickalnd. He made mention of the a new ordinance in Brooksville at last night’ city council meeting.

Which brought it back to my attention.

I give you the city of Brooksville, who passed an ordinance to require employees to wear underpants and deo.

(I’ve known folks from Brooksville, so I can’t say this is unwarranted.)

Here’s the article in Hernando Today

(I so want to be hired as the Underpant Enforcer. Could you imagine having a government job enforcing underpants and stinky pits? How fabulous is that?!)

Just in case you didn’t know… THIS is why I don’t fly

Man jailed for urinating on woman during flight

Published – Apr 15 2009 08:17PM EST

A 28-year-old man has been sentenced to three weeks in jail for urinating on a 66-year-old woman during a Continental Airlines flight last month from Los Angeles to Honolulu. Jerome Kenneth Kingzio, a resident of the U.S. Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, was sentenced after pleading guilty Tuesday to assault charges in federal court in Honolulu.

The victim was headed to Hawaii on March 21 for a scuba diving vacation and was watching an in-flight movie when Kingzio stood up and began urinating on her. He had been drinking on the flight.

U.S. Attorney Edward Kubo Jr. said the woman reported that not only was her entire vacation ruined, but she continues to suffer emotionally from the incident.

The case was investigated by the FBI.

OK, maybe it was more like snort into my coffee, but still.

Kudos to metro.co.uk for their awesome array of worldwide weird news. The UK newspaper is among my favorite daily reads.

The Metro reported a judge in Texas was in trouble for giving parents the option of spanking their children in court or paying a $500 fine. The courtroom paddle’s name? The Board of Education.

It’s a quick read, and totally worth five minutes of your day. Just for that phrase, The Board of Education.

(If you have five more minutes, read about the 114 year old Nigerian dude who was busted for having 6.5 TONS of weed on his farm… and I’m not talking about dandylions when I say weed.)

Good stuff on a Friday Eve.

Florida Board of Cosmetology Prohibits Fish Pedicures

TALLAHASSEE

News source: Board of Cosmetology

In recent months, several cosmetology salons in Florida have been offering fish pedicures, the use of tiny, live carp to clean feet. At their January 2009 meeting, the Florida Board of Cosmetology, housed within the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, determined that fish pedicures are not permitted in cosmetology salons in Florida. Fish pedicures violate two previously standing rules, one that prohibits animals or pets, excluding animals trained to assist the hearing impaired, visually impaired, or the physically disabled, in salons and another that sets the standards for pedicure sanitation requirements.

If salons are found performing fish pedicures, the salon and the cosmetologist may be subject to citations and fines. The Board of Cosmetology consists of seven members: five cosmetologists and two consumer members.

The department’s mission is to license efficiently and regulate fairly. The department licenses more than one million businesses and professionals ranging from real estate agents, veterinarians, and accountants to contractors and cosmetologists.

Well, that’s a bunch of carp!

(OK, that was lame. I blame it on the Monday.)

See, this is the hard part, because I can’t openly laugh about this. Nor can I express admiration for my fellow nerds who figure out pranks such as this.

So, therefore, I’ll just shut up and let it speak for itself.
