When pillows are outlawed, only outlaws will have pillows.
DETROIT (AP) – Police in Detroit have ruffled some feathers after they cracked down on an organized pillow fight at a downtown park.
The Detroit News reports that police at Campus Martius Park prevented the feathery fight Saturday by disarming pillow-toting participants. The bout was part of a worldwide event organized on social networking Web sites.
Michael Davis of Hamtramck says police confiscated the 32-year-old man’s pillows but returned their cases. He says he was told that he needed a permit.
First thought: they have a permit for that in Detroit?
Second thought: don’t the police realize that those pillowcases can be filled with laundry or rags or…other pillows? And used to fight again?
Third thought: this is the Broken Windows Theory gone soft.

We have a pool going on how quickly that quote goes on your sidebar.

I don’t know about Troglo’s sidebar, but it took me about five minutes to post Grandpa’s compliment (see my post) on mine. Thanks :D
