I'll be glad when the whole damn thing resets so we can start to get back to normal.

 

[DitchDigger]

They've gone Full Special !!!

 

[Bill Katt]

That's awesome. Afraid of drive by fruitings.
I guess if they deem everything a weapon, then they can start rationing everything so that nobody gets more than their fair share of anything.

 

[chiefsaj]

that can not be real

 

[Rob Boudrie]

I wonder if they limit buyers to one potato?

 

[Rob Boudrie]

Would this apply to oranges, lemons, grapefruit, and tangerines as well?

If this story is for real, what is interesting is that, it appears that the rule was self imposed by the store. Though nothing that happens on that island surprises me any more. MasSucKchusetts is next for that kind of bullshit.

Walmart reportedly has a similar self-imposed rule on the sale of lithium batteries.

FMDs?

Cant squirt a potato at someone. Now, if you bought a potato and a sock...maybe

Wonder if you can buy those little lemon shaped squirt bottles of lemon juice? Much more effective than a lime.

It was a joke. They didn't bother printing THAT part of it because half the story is way more entertaining. The scanner was malfunctioning and the clerk made a joke about it. There is no citrus fruit ban in Britain. The Mail must have had a SERIOUSLY slow news day.

The sad part is, its totally believable with them.[sad2]

It depends on the size. Certain fruits are high capacity, and require a special license.

shh, we are trying to lather them into running outside with their rifles...

Or in the UK, they can run outside wagging their fingers with some stern words for Parliament... Provided they register their fingers as dangerous weapons first of course.

 

[T3andme]

Would grapes be "high capacity"

Full-auto - multiple fruiting bodies per pull...

And I thought Monty Python was supposed to be pure comedy and not social commentary!

Google "Spudzooka"

...I clearly don't look like I'm going to carry out a drive-by fruiting any time soon.

The real joke is I wasnt even a little shocked before I found out it was a joke.

 

[AntiHippie]

What's the issue with lithium batteries? Yeah, some things I may be out of the loop on. Oh, I haven't set foot in a Walmart in 3 years.

Clan labs. I think the meth heads use the lithium in meth production.

Built one when I was a kid. Could send a potato over the 100 yard berm at the club with ease. The limes you could use without anything special to go with it. I could buy a potato, and I'm wearing socks

It may be joke now, but we problably don"t have long to wait until it happens!!!

 

[MichaelJR]

They made their bed, now they can sleep in it. Those retarded Brits will probably let the ball keep rolling until they have government cameras inside every house...and then they MIGHT boycott eating crumpets. Damn useless island loaded with an inept population.

 

[MisterHappy]

Much of Monty Python was relevant social commentary, but we did not "get" it as it was not our society.

"How many _______ does it take to change a lightbulb?" jokes where there's no electricity.

Even though the OP was a joke, the fact that it was so believable says a lot about how far they have fallen. Hard to imagine that they were once a world power, that these were the people that dug out and rebuilt on a daily basis during the German blitz.

They have traded their liberty for security....and now they have neither. They can still serve a useful purpose as an object lesson, assuming that other societies will take note.

this is Massachusetts in the near future. We will all be walking around in bubble wrap, steel toe shoes and safety glasses so we dont get hurt.

Plus, Coakley wants some that she can drop and see if they go off.
