False teeth will be banned.

Years ago I heard a "filk" song,,,
It was titled "Check Your Weapons at the Door"

It was about three Scottish clans having a meeting,,,
But you had to check your weapons at the door,,,
First swords, then spears, then knives,,,
Then canes, then spoons, then quills,,,
Then fingernails had to be pulled,,,
Then teeth had to be covered,,,
It go silly from there.

If anyone (probably from the Society for Creative Anachronism) has them,,,
I would be eternally grateful for an E-mail with a copy of those lyrics.

It's the perfect anthem for fighting needless and ineffectual legislature.

But that's an inherent evil of an electorate,,,
They will jump on any bandwagon that gives them exposure.
