curious code

el jeffe

from the city of albuquerque zoning code:

CIRCUS. A travelling (sic) enterprise that features feats of physical skill and daring, wild animal acts, and performances by clowns.

no clowns - no circus.

i recall the LA zoning code had provisions regarding the wattage and spacing of bare lamps strung up on christmas tree lots.

not to be confused with a similar zoning code in the district of columbia:

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. a stationary enterprise which only features performances by clowns.

I like how obscene breast exposure is determined by 'a straight line so drawn that both nipples and portions of both breasts which have a different pigmentation than that of the main portion of the breasts are below such
straight line'

i love that still, in many states, you can't hold public office if you've participated in a duel.
