Law is funny
I just read about this, and so I thought it would be funny to share. I found it on the net at: http://www.hartfelt.net/fun/humor/humor1.html
In the New Mexico Legislature’s 1995 session, Sen. Duncan Scott, a Republican from Alburqueque, proposed an amendment to a psychologist regulatory bill offered by another senator (a Democrat).
The Scott amendment would have dramatically changed the face of New Mexico’s legal system. The amendment said:
“When psychologist or psychiatrist testifies during a defendant’s competency hearing the psychologist or psychiatrist shall wear a cone-shaped hat that is not less than two feet tall. The surface of the hat shall be imprinted with stars and lightning bolts.
“Additionally, a psychologist or psychiatrist shall be required to don a white beard that is not less than 18 inches in length, and shall punctuate crucial elements of his testimony by stabbing the air with a wand.
Whenever a psychologist or psychiatrist provides expert testimony regarding a defendant’s competency, the bailiff shall contemporaneously dim the courtroom lights and administer two strikes to a Chinese gong.”
The bill, with the wizard amendment, passed the Senate by voice vote and cleared the house by 46-14. Unfortunately, Gov. Gary Johnson vetoed the legislation.
Wow that’s a lot of days!

The goal in sight
Thank you Lord!
Over the past four years I have been, save for a few weeks here or there, continuously enrolled in college classes in order to complete my Bachelors of Science in Computer Science. As of last night at 10pm, I finished all classwork for my degree save for two tests that I will take in order to complete the credit requirement; which will take place in the next few weeks. Nevertheless, this is a huge milestone and the last stop before Commencement (Graduation Ceremony) on May 8th. This is a big deal because it frees me up to do other things, like sleep spent more time with my family.
