Not The Bee- British Man Fined $200 For Spitting Out Leaf That Had Blown Into His Mouth
‘As I was sitting there, a gale blew a big reed into my mouth,’ he recalled to the BBC, referring to the plant part of the grass family. ‘I spat it out, and just as I got up to walk away, two [enforcement officers] came up to me.’
Closer to home, a Hamilton Ontario man was fined $100.00 for feeding squirrels, apparently there’s a “no feeding the wildlife” bylaw. When the gentleman pointed out the numerous bird feeders in the area he was told “…that’s different”.
Oh.
Obviously, he didn’t have the sense to claim he was feeding birds.
No doubt there had been complaints about loud leaf-blowers…
