Signs your government is too large and dysfunctional…
Man without hands can’t cash checks because he cannot provide a thumbprint.
Grandmother gets thrown in jail for purchasing too much cold medicine for her grandchildren. It was obvious that she wasn’t making meth, but, the law is the law.
Clove cigarettes (and other flavored cigarettes) become outlawed. Because kids like to smoke $8/pack lung-burning cigarettes rather than $4/pack smooth Camels (or just stealing them from their parents)? Best law ever. Our smoking president signed it, it doesn’t affect him. Menthol cigarettes are specifically listed as still ok, presumably because it mostly kills black americans…

I wonder why we are having a budget crisis…
