If a fast food place gets your order wrong, they owe you your money back plus 300% and an apology from a manager.

Any DJ who talks over the beginning of songs will have a person handcuffed to them for a period of not less than 6 months who will interrupt them every time they try and speak... Every time.

People who can't handle merging onto a highway shall have their license removed until such time as they can show they have learned how to properly do so

If more than 90% of a work team agrees someone is a douchebag then they are fired. You know that guy... The one nobody can fathom how they keep their job. If a few people don't like someone, well maybe it's a personality issue, but when every single member of that dept says this guy is as dumb and useless as a sack of nerf hammers, get out.

Grown men who piss on a public toilet seat shall be flogged

The following egregious offenses to Good Order and Discipline Upon the Roadways shall result in immediate revocation of driving privileges until remedial training has eliminated the problem:

1. Not using your headlights during inclement weather, well before dusk or before the sun is well and truly up.

2. Stopping in the roadway before completing a right turn (assuming the way is clear and you're just being a douche).

3. Left turn from other than a left turn lane if provided.

4. Dozing off at green lights. Summary execution if you were texting.

5. Blocking the left lane.

6. Stopping at the end of on-ramps.

I'm sure others will occur to me over time, those are the ones that have pissed me off this week.




Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

If a useless parent calls the police to try to get the cops to discipline their child or make them do what they're told (clean their room, eat their veggies, do their homework, etc.), the parent shall be arrested and placed in a public pillory or stocks for no less than 48 hours.

On a related note, birth control will be applied to all food and water supplies. Only those who pass an IQ test, psych evaluation, and credit check shall receive the antidote.

(Given enough time, the latter law will obviate the need for the former law.)

Driving 10MPH under the speed limit shall not be tolerated. Anyone doing so, while not pulling to the side allowing others to pass them, is subject to being rear-ended and/or pushed off the road with no punishment whatsoever to the pusher.

Anyone who travels the speed of light in two lanes and then reduces their speed to well under the speed limit when those two lanes merge into one lane, shall suffer the same punishment.

The same punishment for standing in line for five minutes at a grocery store, then waiting until the cashier has rung up everything (including any coupons) before realizing that they will have to be paid for and then starting to look for one’s credit cards or cash. Flogging will be added if it’s necessary to rummage through one’s wallet or purse and inspect six different cards before deciding which one has room to add $10.90 in purchases before being maxed out.

Flogging is also the punishment for standing in line for five minutes or more at a fast food restaurant and waiting until the cashier asks, “May I help you?” before looking at the huge menu posted above and then trying to decide what they’ll order. Twice as many lashes if they’re accompanied by a small child and must then ask, “What do you want, Snookums?” and also have to get into an explanation of why their particular promotional toy is no longer available and what might be an acceptable substitute.

Anyone caught texting while driving, and/or not moving when light turns green because they are absorbed in their phone, or waiting until last second to cut across three lanes of traffic to exit highway, or goes into the coin only lane at toll booth and then doesn't have the change while traffic backs up behind them, loses license for 12 months along with their right to vote indefinitely.

  • All Canadian border crossings (including airports) will have movie screens installed and everyone will be forced to watch the movie Strange Brew if they want to travel from the US to Canada to insure they can speak Canadian appropriately. NEXUS card holders only have to watch once a year but can watch it more often if they chose.
  • All deportations will be via trebuchet. CBP will do their best to land you in your country of origin, but suggest watching a few YouTube videos on how to swim if you're not from Canada or Central America.
  • If you make a dumb ass comment like, "I hear gasoline might hit $5.00 per gallon this summer" then $10,000 will be deducted from your savings, investments, or added to your debt and will be automatically invested in a long commodity derivative that only pays off if gasoline hits $5.00 per gallon or more between Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day. If you're a news reporter, the amount deducted increases to $100,000.

    What is even worse than looking for their credit card is when all is done the pull out a check book to pay.

    Hah! You must have met the ultrasound technician I had today. (Routine screening, nothing serious) The abdominal ultrasound took about 15 minutes and I don't think he paused for breath, much less shut his yap, the whole time.

    I'd go the other way. I'd probably ban the act of banning things. In fact, if it's something that is a bit self-destructive, it will definitely be legal. There won't be a nanny state in my empire.

    However, you screw yourself up doing stupid stuff, you're on your own. You don't get to jump off of mountains in a body suit and expect society to pick up the pieces.

    That's my perfect empire.

    And then they fully fill in the register and balance it before writing the check.
