I don't know much about Cuomo but if you NYers wanted someone who could get Canadians to do something productive you should have elected God because he is the only shot.

Pin-heads: N.Y. State Assembly to Secure Bowling-Shoes Borders

 

 

Reeling from a sexual-harassment scandal that forced one assemblyman to resign and has raised questions about the conduct of their speaker, the New York state assembly is turning its attention to a pressing issue: borders for bowling shoes.

 

A bill sponsored by state senator Patrick Gallivan (R., 59th) and assemblyman Robin Schimminger (D., 140th) would require bowling-alley owners to post signs “warning keglers not to wear bowling shoes outside, lest they become wet and increase the likelihood that a bowler could slip and fall when they come inside.”

 

Bowling-alley owners claim that, since the state outlawed smoking in bowling alleys, bowlers have taken to ducking outside for smoke breaks during games, without taking their shoes off. When it’s raining or snowing, the shoes become slippery, bowlers fall on the lanes, and owners get sued.

 

 

 

 

If it seems like common sense to recognize that you might slip on wet shoes, well, that’s because it is. Except in Albany, apparently.

Wouldn't it be more effective to just ban going out in the rain? Fewer slips and falls, fewer traffic accidents. Think of the children!
