I know countries where : - Restaurants serve lukewarm coffee to avoid being sued by idiots who pour hot coffee over themselves and get burned - When you buy a microwave oven it comes with a warning that it is not suitable to dry wet pets - Youngsters can buy guns at the age of 16 but are not allowed to drink alcohol (in public) up to the age of 21 - A friend received a message from the local post office that he had to go there and receive an item that was not suitable to put in his mailbox. The "corpus delicti" turned out to be a postcard with the famous Brussels statue "manneken-pis" ( http://www.manneken-pis.com/ ) on the front. The postman refused to deliver it because it was "indecent". - A mother was fined by the police because she let her 2 year old daughter play on a public beach in "monokini". The police was warned by another mother of a 2 year old boy who was afraid that her son would get bad thoughts seeing the 2 year old girl "topless". - and so on ... These countries are certainly not part of the EU. 73, Rik ON7YD At 12:20 7/01/2005 +0000, you wrote: >----- Original Message ----- >From: Andy >To: ; Rsgb_Lf_Group (E-mail) > >Sent: Friday, January 07, 2005 9:23 AM >Subject: LF: Has the world gone mad - ? > >No !
