no tongue-splitting in delaware
because i just did a rant on too many laws and creative prosecution, i thought it was worth noting that the delaware legislature has decided that tongue-splitting should be illegal in delaware (except when done by a doctor or dentist)…
Del. Lawmakers Limit Tongue Splitting [ap via abc news]While the practice is rare, if not nonexistent, in Delaware, lawmakers decided it would be wise to nip it in the bud.
“I had never heard of tongue splitting until I saw this bill,” said Senate sponsor James Vaughn, D-Clayton.
apparently, it’s already illegal in texas and illinois, and legislation has been proposed in tennessee, west virginia, new york, indiana and kentucky.
i guess it’s a good thing our legislators are spending their time on these important issues of our times
