Well, Jack’s bittersweet tale of a love that never was has been linked by nj.com, endearing him to the locals, who are rooting him on with comments and tributes such as, “What a wuss” and “stop wasting time and space on this crap.”
First of all, the concern about “column inches” seems to be misplaced. But more importantly, a further investigation of nj.com reveals a disturbing reality. I’m sure people who live there are sick of the Sopranos references. But the stark truth is that New Jersey is a land of too many laws. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I can’t risk living in a state where this is illegal:
MEDFORD, N.J. — An 18-year-old Sherwood Drive man was arrested Sunday afternoon on charges of disturbing the peace for allegedly firing a homemade potato gun into the air, according to the Burlington County Times.
The man reportedly was firing potatoes into a lake near where he lives. He was processed and released to await a municipal court hearing.
