I've found in some cases that these things are intentional twists on
otherwise sensible laws. F'rinstance, one souce (can't find it now) states
that it's illegal to tie your alligator to a fire hydrant in Miami. Well,
there *is* a law making it illegal to tie *any* animal to a fire hydrant in
Miami, so that would apply to 'gators, right?

Sometimes I think laws are written by politicians.
