That word must be Trump's middle name.
I have to laugh about that law

Andrew said...

Misinformation, I suppose.
Throw a big rug over your porch couch and no one will know.

I have visited Kansas, and odd laws probably don’t even seem odd there! An upholstered couch seems the least of them. As for falsiloquence, this has become the communication du jour of the political establishment, all the while accusing the real press of being fake news. The truth is hung in the balance, a very tenuous balance, and knowing where to find it is a challenge. Here is an absolute truth today - I need to cut my toenails and I will get right to it. I could even post pictures as proof! But I will spare you the pleasure. You’ll just have to take my word for it.

I did not know this law, but it would make sense in that upholstery can attract bedbugs and other unwanted vermin.

Sandra Cox said...

Good analogy, Birgit. That law is pretty funny:) It was put on the books because of fires.

Sandra Cox said...

Good job, Andrew. Definitely misinformation.
A rug for the porch couch. Problem solved:)

Sandra Cox said...

Ha! We want to see those cut toenails;)

Sandra Cox said...

It can indeed, Linda. Plus they were worried about fires.

Genial imagen. Te mando un beso.

Jeanie said...

New to me. I'd just be glad to have a porch!

I very fitting word for current times, Sandra :) What a law! Xo

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks, JP. Hugs,

Sandra Cox said...

Jeanie, Here's hoping there's a porch in your future. Cheers,

Sandra Cox said...

Indeed on both, Denise xo

I would guess falsiloquence means what tRump does every time he opens his mouth. Should I deny I live in Kansas? What a unique law.

Sandra Cox said...

I would say that's a good analogy:) LOL about living in Kansas. I believe the ordinance is due to fire concerns.
