What are your pet peeves?

Yeah, I noticed that there's no small liquor stores here in California, where all supermarkets have a huge liquor department.


Not.



Um, do they still burn witches in Massachusetts, or are they able to get news of other places from faraway, many days travel by horseback, that have been practicing the things proposed by the commonwealth legislature?

Tell me about it. They also have something called Blue Laws where stores are not allowed to be open on Thanksgiving and Christmas. One store disobeyed the rule and stayed open last Christmas and was fined. They really need to get rid of that rule. If people wanna work, let 'em work. I think there's nothing wrong with a half day on both days. They could make a lot of money from last minute types like myself.

Obviously they have never seen a grocery store on Thanksgiving or Christmas.

Wow! I thought those were strictly a bible belt phenomenon. Here they've mostly been struck down. When I was a child, stores could not open on Sunday, with only a few exceptions, grocery stores being one exception.

I'm sure it's some sort of Puritan thing that no one reversed. I think it should be changed.
I bet it's still written somewhere that if women show their ankles in public they could be flogged.
