Institute a Hat Tax. Afterall, most bodyheat is lost out of our heads, right? Cold season is amongst us and there’s that scary H1N1. Wearing a toque could save lives and make society better for everyone, right? One less cold or sick person for society to deal with. Apparently, ticketing people is now society’s way of making communities better, safer and more efficient, so charge $50 for non-compliance. Even if it’s not cold or snowing, the laws the law, right? You should know better. Go without a hat and get a ticket? It’s your own stupid fault. You knew about the law. Compliance isn’t that difficult. Clearly we as a society are incapable of accepting the consequences of our actions. Say getting sick from lack of toque wearing or deciding you’d better go dig out that toque from the mounds of snow it got burried in when it got left behind. No, health, safety and efficiency is too important to take a chance on individual accountability. The Hat-Tax is clearly the answer.

that would require you to buy a toque
and if you’re likening this to the parking ban….
you aren’t REQUIRED to buy a car.
This would translate better if you amended as follows:
if you buy a toque but aren’t wearing it then you will be fined.
It’s still shoddy at best.
Wow, a thinly veiled analogy, full of hyperbole! Quick, someone call Stephanie Meyer! This guy’s a literary genius!
A toque is 12 bucks. Am average car is anywhere from $1k to $20K. Apples to Apples, please.
On top of that, the studies that discovered the 10% of body heat escaping through the head were faulty. They used fully clothed individuals, except for the head, when they were trying to find where most of the body heat is lost.
Other than that, dumb bitch is dumb.
More people should wear toques anyways, they look sweet.
we pay government to tell us to… what? We NEED to be told to… what? Ridiculous bitch.
Did you know…? It’s harder to stay warm when you gotta pee because you have to keep all that water warm while it’s in ya. A hot mug of cocoa is not really the greatest way to stay warm.
Fuck off, OP.
Let’s fine people who come up with stupid analogies for already stupid bitches.
Looks like the OP needs an Ass-Hat Tax instead.
I thought you caught cold from viruses not from being being cold. hey what do I know .
yep kay… if you’re getting cold, whip er out (or drop ‘er down as the case may be) and pee all over the place. just don’t aim into the wind cause wet + cold trumps cold + have to pee any day.
Pavillion, if that is true (and quite obvious without even testing…) and gained this much credibility, then it is truly such a sad and gullible state of affairs we live in.
that’s kinda like the 90’s when they came out with the bag of chips nutritionally better than an apple.
I remember hearing that one in grade 4… 5 maybe.
scientists choosing the answer to fit the experiment….. for shame.
Hey zZz, you can still get those Olestra chips, they’re just in the States. I suggest an Olestra chip smuggling run, heh, run.
“Did you know…?”
Why thank you Kay-Cliff Clavin.
Norm: “Looks like the inside of a UFO”.
Kay-Cliff answers: No, actually Norm, they’re quite different…
[Norm gives Kay-Cliff an odd look.]
Kay-Cliff: …I guess.
(Cheers)
o.p., are you absolutely fucking crazy, or are you still suffering from other mental illness.toque tax, fuck, don’t give these assholes any ideas.
Apparently olestra causes anal leakage, Fever.
SEXY++
now with 10% less anal leakage!
Olestra… now with a free pair of underwear!
I read about them in my nutrition class…
the starch equivalent to aspertame.
I think I’m good with my current amount of anal leakage.
Yeah, you don’t get the cold from loosing body heat… that’s a stupid old myth.
I just love the term “Anal Leakage”. It’s probably the most descriptive medical term ever… It sounds as nasty as it actually is. Check this out:http://www.zug.com/pranks/olestra/day1.html
This cat ate Olestra chips for a month and recorded the evidence. Enjoy.
well that made my weekend!
it should be in scientific journal.
