John Kettler Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Where would we be without laws? Get this. "The size of the knockers, as well as other details, are prescribed in state and tribal law." And if that doesn't throw you for a loop, consider this. "By Minnesota statute, knockers must be at most 1 inch in diameter, 30 inches long, and one pound in weight." For the real explanation of my seemingly outrageous post, please go here, under Use as food (not making this up!). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_rice Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalins Organ Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 And what is your point? By the look of it wild rice is a plant that grows, well...wild. Overharvesting could probably destroy it, hence the restrictions on the size of the threshers used, and also on the size of the canoes allowed and the prohibition on using any form of mechanical device in the harvest. Here's the statute It is no different from statutes limiting the weapons you can use to hunt ducks, bag and season limits, restrictions on using flys to fish for salmon, and a zillion other similar laws. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 Stalin's Organist, It was a provocative conceit based on exploiting people's expectations of what they'd think I was talking about. I put the link in to make sure there was no misunderstanding as to what I was really discussing. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 SO may not be aware that 'knockers' is also an American slang term for female breasts. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stalins Organ Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Knockers is world wide slang (and I've never heard of the NZ usage given there)- there was no confusion on my part. the link with knockers/breasts was immediately obvious, but neither funny nor clever - it was also immediately obvious that the term was being used for something other than breasts. didn't see any humour in it at all - still don't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
