I'm an outlaw...

[reviews_and_ramblings]

Oh yes... Do you know that one in your flist is an outlaw: here I am. And for what: a tremendous crime, I sell books at 11.00 p.m.

I have a coffe-bookstore and three day per week I close at 12.00 p.m. Tonight, at 11.00 the police is arrive in my coffe-bookstore to make a control and I was OK for everything except that I haven't a notice to say to my customer that after 10.00 I can't sell books. I can sell alcohol and cigarettes, but not books.

I'm shocked: I really don't know that this law exist, and, sincerely, I think it is a stupid law (in general the laws says I can't sell retail after 10.00 p.m., and books is retail)... so I'm an outlaw and also a dissenting!!!

What an idiotic law! Can you let people read the books after 10 pm, then pick them up and pay for them the next morning?

I've heard of being "drunk on words," but the notion that any town would actually pass a law against it... that makes my local ordinance against grocery stores selling alcohol look pretty minor. (Tho that is silly, too--it simply means that customers have to drive five blocks up the street, outside the 'blue law' zone.)

Three Cheers for the Pirate Bookseller!
