Misadventurous Melissa

Everyday is an adventure, or misadventure as the case may be. It is the latter that makes for the best stories, inspiring the name of my blog. I'm a nurse and an attorney (and way too silly sometimes). I am retired now. WELCOME to my blog! This is a work of fiction inspired by true events. The patients I refer to are a patchwork quilt of various patient's problems mixed together. If you think you recognize someone, you are wrong. These people do not really exist.

I Have Never Licked A Toad

In today's Los Angeles Times, I was reading Steve Harvey's column, "Only in LA." Some antiquated laws were mentioned, such as:

In Chico, detonating a nuclear device within city limits will result in a $500 fine.

In Palm Springs, it is illegal to walk a camel down Palm Canyon Drive between the hours of 4 and 6 p.m.

In Los Angeles, toads may not be licked.

Because I live under LA jurisdiction, it was the toad licking law that got my attention. Not that I have ever actually licked a toad, (that's my story and I'm sticking to it) but does anyone know the statute of limitations on toad licking? (Not that I have anything to worry about.) :)

Isn't it three years from the time it was noticed?

Oh, then I'm safe. (Not that I've ever actually licked a toad.)
