Quality of Life Court One of the quirkier things we have here is the Quality of Life Court. No one can define " quality of life " but you can go to court for it. Our legislature has too much time on it's hands. Bear in mind this isn't New York or California. They'd do anything. "Your Honor, my neighbor has ten Rotweilers. I want something done about it." "Uh, no law limiting the number of dogs a person can have", the Judge says. "What's the effect on your quality of life?" "They ain't fenced in." "And?" "And? Whatta you mean 'and'?. I go to cut the grass and I end up throwing dog turds against my house. That's the 'and'." Now the defendant speaks up. "Yea, and that looks like the dickens. How'd you like to live next to a turd covered house. When the wind blows, whoooee!!" The Judge ponders this. "Why", he asks the defendant, "why don't you just put up a fence?" "Huh?", the defendant asks. "Why should I put up a fence. He's the one with the complaint!" "Why don't you put up a fence?', the Judge asks the complainant. "Huh? Why? It's his dogs." "Your Honor, it ain't my dogs throwin' turds around, it's him." "That's a good point. Okay, here's my ruling. Sir, no more turd throwing. You get yourself a shovel and clean the yard up first." "And do what with it?" "Uh, toss it into his yard. Not against his house, though. I don't want to see you two again." |
