Answer:
Those were Great!!!!! I just have to make my own comments
1. In Fairbanks, it is illegal to feed alcoholic beverages to a moose.-
Well obviously we don’t want any drunken moose roaming around duh
2. In New Britain, the speed limit for fire trucks is 25 m.p.h. even when going to a fire-
I will not be moving to New Britain anytime soon because I now know that my house would burn to the ground with out ever having a chance
3. If an elephant is left tied to a parking meter, the parking fee has to be paid just as it would for a vehicle- is this really such a big problem there?
4. In Chicago, it is illegal to take a French poodle to the opera.- Well I won’t be moving here either my poodle love the opera way too much for me to take that away from her
5. Monkeys are forbidden to smoke cigarettes in South Bend.- Yes the law definitely has to crack down on all of those bad Indiana smoking monkeys, a better question would be where did they get the money for the cigarettes
6. In Fort Madison, firemen are required to practice for 15 minutes before attending a fire.- see 2.
