The Law

One has to wonder who was throwing enough bricks onto the highway to require written authorization from the city council. This law likely originated during early road construction or to deter rowdy youths from vandalizing stagecoaches and early automobiles. If you absolutely must toss masonry at traffic, be sure to get it in writing first.
