"IF YOU WERE WORLD PRESIDENT....."

[BVI Hunter]

...... That was the topic of conversation over dinner with friends last night.
We had to write our "laws" on a napkin and present them to the group....

So, after lots of "stop world hunger / no wars / lower taxes / gun control....." Etc etc, I read mine.....

ALL BOTTLE TOPS TO BE BANNED AND REPLACED WITH RUBBER STOPPERS
ALL SODA CAN PULL TABS TO BE DESIGNED SO THEY CAN NOT BE REMOVED FROM THE CAN - (ANYONE DOING SO GETS 25yrs.)
ALL BOBBY PINS TO BE OUTLAWED
ANYONE DROPPING PENNIES, DIMES OR ANY CLAD IN THE OCEAN / ON THE BEACH GETS 25yrs.
JEWLERS MUST SELL ALL RINGS AT LEAST ONE SIZE TOO BIG FOR THE CUSTOMER.
PEOPLE USING THE BEACH MUST NOT GO PAST WAIST-DEEP INTO THE WATER.

needless to say, only the other detectorist at the table thought it made any sense.......

And the drink of choice at dinner ?
:P

Sounds like you had a few.

BVI, I like the 4th "law"; the other day as I was detecting in the dry sand, there was a mother, her friend and her 2 pre-school children. We exchanged greetings and the mother told me that her children love to find things at the beach so she had just scattered a roll of pennies in the area for her children to "find" .

Great idea for the kids' fun, but not such a good idea for the rest of us.

You just know I left that area pronto!

Adults shalt not assume I can hear you when you talk to me at the beach. Please note the headphones! Exception is granted for small kids because then we can talk about pirate treasure!

I agree, all clad should be banned from the beach!

End Beach replenishment... That would be my only demand...and if totally needed pump in from know ship wrecks sites ..with out the filters to catch the treasure...

If I were World President I would declare chasing beaver to be an international sport. Then I'd resign and go fishing, uh, I mean MDing. I'm too old now to pursue beavers.
(The source and inspiration for this new/old sport came from a Molson Canadian commercial on you tube)

First act as World President. Outlaw the position of World President.

 

[RustyGold]

I would make it so it was legal to detect beaches without any permits!

 

[G.I.B.]

Outlaw the re-nourishing of beaches. Let nature do it's thing.

Then I'd remove all warning labels so stupid people could once again drink bleach and use a blow dryer in the shower.

I don't mind the hair pins, I can disc' those out. I'd insist all our coins be made of silver or gold from now on. I'd outlaw (and discontinue making) the 1 cent coin and the dollar bill, and replace them with the dollar and 2 dollar coin. I'd also outlaw any jewelry made from anything but gold or platinum. They'd all have to have at least one 1/4 carat or bigger diamond in them too.....that goes without mentioning. Oh, and upon entering any beach area, you would be given a free bottle of skin lotion and a good stiff drink!

 

[MrMikeJackie]

I'd make it law that all treasure hunters(especially those whose name start with a B and end with an I) post all their pirate treasure on treasurenet

 

[TheRingFinder]

I would be banned from the forum, so I can't say what I would do . . . . .

Iffin I was world prez, six cold ones a day per individual! (more laws later)

 

[jeepGold]

Morning sand sweepers must give the right of way to a metal detectorist. And if a grown adult asks, " what is that or what are you looking for? " It's the death penalty. Also a total ban on costume jewelry. Can't afford the real stuff? Go without!!!
