Getting permission for a park..a true story

[diggitdoggie]

I am posting this here because well, it's funny..

Trying to get permission to hunt an old park in another city..so I look up the municipal codes and laws and start reading.
Most of it is pretty mundane stuff about garbage collection and not messing with police dogs...then I get to this.
These are just some of the things prohibited in the park.

airplane propellers
aircraft engines
tanks
heavy artillery
molesting vines
embracing trees
poison gas
radioactive materials
golfing

Since it struck me that some of this was a bit...over the top..I thought maybe I should just call City Hall and clarify things.
I spoke to a very nice lady who went through the code and after 20 minutes of going through what has to be one of the oddest sets of laws I have ever seen and both of us near tears laughing she said, "You can metal detect all you like as long you don't drive a tank or try to hug a tree."
Then she gave me her name and number and said, if anyone hassles you, have them call me."
She also told me that she lives in another city and is constantly asked if people can md her yard..so far she has refused..so naturally I said..can I hunt it?
She laughed and said, "sure why not?" and gave me her address.
Moral of the story: life is a lot easier when you recognize how absurd it is.

could you tell us what city this is? I don't want to take my radioactive materials to where they aren't allowed. I can keep the poison gas in the truck, but the radioactive material is usually with me where ever I go.

Ohio, only in Ohio...
My son was upset that he couldn't molest the vines...he wanted to give them a squeeze!

be sure to let us know what you are able to pull out of the city hall womans house. if shes had to refuse alot of people then maybe itll be pretty good. i bet shed let you hug her trees if you ask.

Several items need clarity.

If the City law prohibits molesting vines, then the law may be interpreted to say that all vines (the molesting type) are perverts...and in the past may have been caught in publicly displaying tree hugging...a no-no in the plant world.

Although propellers and aircraft engines are not permitted, the law does not address the status of an airplane. Please clarify.

Can I bring a glider to a picnic?

No tanks or heavy artillery....hmmm.....fair enough. They belong in the schools, anyway.

If they promise to behave themselves...keeping their amourous eyes off the plant-life, is a light infantry squad ok?

Next thing you know, they'll tell you it's illegal to put squirrels down your pants for gambling purposes.

You know these are all good points...I will have to call Dana back and ask her to be more specific.
