Take it, to the limit, one more time.....

Good morning.

Hope you had your limit of Turkey, family, good tidings. FYI, the leftovers have reached their limit in the fridge - toss 'em.

Turn left here if you're limited on love of the English language. I ain't, so, doing a study, reckon the sky is the limit. (Found that saying originated at a time of optimism and progress in the USA just before WWI. From the Syracuse Herald, September 1911 "Then good luck, and remember the sky's the limit."}

"Always listen to experts. They'll tell you what can't be done, and why. Then do it." Robert A. Heinlein

Austin City Limits. 16 to drive, 18 to go to war/vote, sadly, 21 in many places to buy a pack of cigs. Depends on where you play blackjack, limits from $5 minimum to $10,000 max bet. Two antlered deer limits during archery/firearm seasons combined. 12" (min) black bass, 24" paddlefish, 15" brown trout and walleye. (In Cape Cod, the groom-to-be must prove his manliness by hunting and killing either six blackbirds or three crows.)

There is a limit in calculus, but it would take up 23 pages of blog and with apologies to Ms. Schumacher and Mr. Howerton, ain't going there.

Limit on # of marriages? Some states say you must be married for 3 months, so, a maximum of 4 marriages a year..assuming age 16-81 = 55 years, then 4x55 = 220 marriages. Some have no limit, so, an hour for a shotgun marriage, 2 hours for a divorce - with 6 hours sleep, that's 6 marriages a day, 365 days = 2190 a year times 55 = 120,450 times you can get married in your life. Here's to screaming out wrong name in hanky pank.

"Term limits aren't enough. We need jail." P.J. O'Rourke

Incredible Hulk reach limit, he turn green. Housewife, she throw frying pan. Househubby, he drive off with boat/trailer. DT - Tweets.

McCoin limits at MickyD's in McCanada.. Sorry grandpa, it's illegal to pay $5 in nickels, $10 in dimes - no one wants your damn change.

"The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits." Albert Einstein

Pediatrician advise "set limits"... Find life's limits annoying? Think of problems becoming opportunities. Exercise? Listen to body. Live outside the box.

In the UK, you are limited in that you cannot manhandle seafood (Salmon, trout, eels, lampreys, smelt and freshwater fish) in a suspicious manner. Acting shifty with a shrimp cocktail is apparently still acceptable.

China.. 2013. Eased the limit on number of children from 1 to 2, IF, one of the parents was an only child.

Pueblo, Colorado, it's illegal to let a dandelion grow within the city limits.

Limits on dogs/cats vary. Omaha, for example, 3 dogs, 5 cats. Most cities total limits under ten combined. BRB, going to call/warn my ex sister inlaw. Most ever, you ask? Jack and Donna Wright, Kingston, Ontario have bookoo Kitty Litter for their 689 cats. Kublai Khan reigned Mongol Empire from 1260-1294, mebbe why he had most Mongrels, 5,000 Mastiffs.

In New Britain, CT, the speed limit for fire trucks is 25 mph, even when going to a fire. (Port Huron, MI it's a 20 mph limit for ambulances.)

In Western Australia it is off limits (illegal) to crush a beer can between your boobs ($1000 fine). Quite certain folks might start a GoFundMeMate for you though. (Western Australia is finicky, you may not own more than 110 lbs of potatoes at one time. Tater, tatas limits I guess)

There are not only alcohol limits for driving in Scotland, but if you are caught intoxicated (Mooving violation?), riding a cow, it's a 200 pound ($256) fine AND almost a year in jail.

Contrary to popular belief, there are speed limits on the Autobahn. Yes, there are stretches where you can put the pedal to the metal (and those sections are limited, ha, and growing more limited year by year), but for the most part, 80-81 mph is tops.

There's a 40 mile stretch in Texas between Austin and San Antonio that has a posted speed limit of 85 mph. (Alaska and the District of Columbia have the pokiest speed limits, at an AVERAGE of 55.)

My eyeballs have reached their limit. Off to a nap. Please have no limitation on fun today,

Love, Victurd
