My goodness, I really like these! I think that criminals giving notice is a pretty good idea actually. Just think how much easier it would be if you received 24 hours notice that someone was going to rob your house. You could make sure everything you wanted to get rid of was in boxes and ready to go!
I'm a little worried about Nevada and Georgia. I generally keep a donkey in my bathtub & would hate to have to get rid of him if I go to Georgia. As far as driving a camel on the highway - well, who doesn't do that every weekend!
Thanks for the post - I liked these!
