New Law: Mouth Police Are Giving Out Tickets

As of today you need to watch your mouth and what you say.
We have always been able to hurt someone's feelings by our words.
Tell them off or bring them down.
Now do it and you will be fined.
First time $500.00.
Each time after $1,000 each.

Excellent work. Paula, I am willing to provide my support to the passage of this legislation if it is necessary. If they were to go into force, some people would most certainly owe a significant sum of money.
