Not just in Thailand...

A few days ago I was chatting to some friends from Ireland. Well, while we may think that there are daft things going on here, they were telling me a story which clearly means we, here, do not have a monopoly on daft laws.

Apparently in Killarney, Co. Kerry, where for at least four generations they have had jaunting cars - it would seem their days are coming to an end ...... unless ..... they put nappies (diapers) on the horses! Yep, it would seem that in Killarney the latest flock of law-makers on the local council or whatever it is they have there, definitely have had enough of horse poop on the streets of the town. A horse wearing a nappy .... it could only happen in Ireland.

There is a way out though - if the driver takes a bag and spade with him to scoop up the poop - yes, a poop scoop, then that's OK. I haven't seen a photo yet of the said equine diaper nor do I know who makes them but there must be an export market somewhere for this Irish, technological advancement. Whatever next?
