Nuke the Punchline - Homeless Right to Bare Arms


Harvey over at IMAO has another straight line of the day up, so it is time to choose the winners of the last one:

Listed in California's new "Homeless Bill of Rights"...

#5 c64wood : … U CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER

#4 can of spam: a plate of Anonymiss' cookies.  [They wish. They'll have to pry unearned cookies out of my cold, dead hands]

#3 Mark L.: ...You have the right to sing the blues. You have the right to cable TV.

#2 tanstaafl:…will soon apply to the whole state.

And my favorite straight line list of the day was from a brilliant new-to-me reader, JeffersonFan... (awesome job, btw)

Listed in California's new "Homeless Bill of Rights"...
1. Freedom to speak loudly and incoherently to imaginary companions.
2. Right to bare arms, legs, feet and any other body part desired.
3. Prohibits homeless from being moved from their park bench or street corner in times of war.
4. No homeless person can have his/her brown paper bag, shopping cart, or backpack searched without a warrant.
5. No homeless person will be made to suffer through Double Jeopardy! or Judge Judy without due process of law.
6. All homeless people have a right to speedy social services, Obamaphones, and foodstamps.
7. When two homeless people have a dispute over more than $20 a jury of their peers will decide the outcome with dice, rock-paper-scissors or spin the bottle in the brown paper bag.
8. Excessive showering or cruel and unusual taunts towards homeless persons about foul body odor will not be tolerated.
9. Any rights, real or imaginary, not listed here are still valid.
10. Powers not delegated by the homeless to their imaginary alien overlord are reserved for the unwashed masses.

COOKIES to JeffersonFan!
