Things That Should Be Illegal

1. Magazines That Print Fiction Without a Colophon or Endmark or Little Black Square At The End So You Turn The Page and Realize That the Story Is In Fact Over and You Have To Go Back Two Pages and Read the Ending Again To Give It the Proper Import.

2. Freeway Off-Ramps Without Corresponding On-Ramps So When You Miss Your Exit and Get Off At the Next One You Don't Get Tangled Up in a Snarl of Unfamiliar Surface Streets, Backtracking A Mile, Trying to Get Back on the Freeway.

3. Anthropomorphized Food Products Like Talking Chickens or Cartoon Pigs With Sunglasses or Animated M and Ms With Arms Legs Feet Hands and Bulging Eyes.

4. The Teetotaling Bleachers In the Outfield of Dodger Stadium (aka Prison) From Where You Cannot Buy Alcohol Nor Gain Entry to ANY OTHER PART OF THE STADIUM THAT MIGHT SELL BEER GOD FORBID.
