So, drive down to Milpitas and get it declawed there. Problem solved.

HINT: have it done while you wait. Don’t leave your cat overnight in that neck of the woods. ;-)

I’d guess it’s still OK to declaw gerbils, though.

OK so a San Francisco list:

1. must separate food scraps in garbage

2. can’t use plastic take-out bags for food

3. Grocery stores must use paper bags only

4. Special soda tax

5. Can’t serve bottled water at city-sponsored public events

6. Pot is OK, if you get a doctor to lie and say it’s for your twisted ankle

7. City must pay for your sex-change op, if you decide 2 go tranny

The right to have a pizza delivered to your home, no matter how dangerous your neighborhood is.

SF: you can’t play poker in a room which is judged to be “barricaded”.

SF: You can’t throw used confetti

SF: You can’t beat a rug in front of your house or appartment

There are others but I’ve forgotten. I heard that it is a very old infraction to get a *BJ* in SF, but I don’t know for sure.

Very nice, Roscoe. Boob belt, $500 sneakers. Only thing missing is an ugly mug.

Other stuff I forgot:

1. You can be fined $500 if you detonate a nuclear weapon in city limits. I think maybe you think I made that up, huh?

2. You must get permission from the city of SF before you market any product that uses “San Francisco” on it, or as the title of the product.

3. I confirmed that it’s a legal relic that you can’t receive or give a BJ in San Francisco.

4. You can’t use used underwear to dry any part of a car at a carwash

5. I HEARD you can’t pile horse poo any higher than 6 feet on any street corner within city limits, but I’m pretty sure that’s just a legal relic also.

I am against declawing and would be happy to see it outlawed.

Every once in a while, liberals actually get something right.
