9 Truths and 1 Lie
I wanted to try playing a new game that has worked out well for some of my fellow bloggers. I figured we’d see how well it works, and maybe we could do it once a month for fun. I am going to post 9 random truths, and 1 big fat lie. You are welcome to guess away at them. And on Monday I will let you know where the lie lies.
This week the theme is Weird California Laws
1. A city ordinance states that a $500 fine will be given to anyone who detonates a nuclear device within city limits
2. A park ordinance states that nobody is allowed to ride a bicycle in a swimming pool
3. A regulation in San Francisco makes it unlawful to use used underwear to wipe off cars in a car wash
4. A City Council order reads “No dog shall be in a public place without its master on a leash”
5. A city ordinance states that snails have the right of way when crossing streets
6. Animals are banned from mating publicly within 1,500 feet of a tavern, school, or place of worship
7. You are not permitted to wear cowboy boots unless you already own at least two cows
8. You can be fined $500 for molesting a Butterfly
9. It is illegal to drive more than two thousand sheep down Hollywood Boulevard at one time
10. You may not set a mouse trap without a hunting license
Remember, you’re looking for the lie. Nine of these facts are true! Leave your guess as a comment, and I will tell y’all on Monday what the lie was!
If you have an off the wall fact you would like to see appear in this game, please feel free to e-mail me: meagandixon@yahoo.com

I'm going with #4 as the lie, becuase it seems like the one you'd think would actually be true. The other ones are hysterical, and therefore, i hope they are all true.

I'll go with #5 though it's probably truly a law in some stranger-than-fiction place like Berkley.

Ok, so the moment of answers is upon us. The lie was number 5… good guess Jordan, kind of. The law is actually from Arcadia, CA and states that Peacocks have the right of way to cross any street, including driveways. I just changed it from Peacocks to slugs.
Law #1 is actually from the fair city of Chico, CA. That’s right folks, beware the nuclear device detonation, it will gain you a whopping fine of $500.
Law #2 is from Baldwin Park, CA
Law #3 is from, duh, San Francisco, I said that. But hey, the use of dirty vs. clean underwear is an important topic for any car wash to discuss.
Law #4 is from the Belvedere City Council, and I know a couple of male dog owners whom should not be allowed out without their leash, so I can understand this law passing.
Law #6 is of unknown origin
Law #7 hails from Blythe, CA… yeah haw!
Law #8 is from Pacific Grove, CA, but I would like definition of “molesting” in the case of a butterfly
Law #9 is from Hollywood, CA. And yes, if you are only driving 1,999 sheep you are completely within your rights. Ay ay ay, what will the loony’s think up next?
Law #10 is from California in general, I don’t know, maybe they are an endangered species?
I hope you had fun reading this, I will do it again soon!
