bizarre laws of usa

Extraordinary it does sound, but did you know that in Illinois, you may be arrested for speaking English ? Instead, make sure that you speak American the next time you visit Chicago!

If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash, and the double clicking icon puts your window in the trash, and your data is corrupted 'cause the index doesn't hash, then
