"I do cut some Mondays or Sundays."The law also bans barbershops within the city limits from opening on New Year’s Day, the day after New Year’s, Mardi Gras, Good Friday, the Fourth of July, Labor Day, the day after Labor Day, All Saints’ Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and the day after Christmas....
There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
I'm wondering what kind of cop knows antiquated laws such as this. How f'n stupid.
