Licking lemons is now illegal in Virginia

Jim Webb, U.S. Senator for the State of Virginia has announced a new law for the state which is to take effect immediately.

It is now unlawful for oneself to place their tongue on a lemon. ABC News interviewed Jim Webb on this new law and he gave us this statement:

"Well I was sat in my office the other night and had nothing to do, the water cooler was broken and wasn't scheduled for repair until Friday. As well as that my Internet connection was quite slow on that night, speaking of which I need to speak to AT&T about that. So I was quite bored and I came up with this new law for my state. There is no reason for it, I was just bored and needed to fill extra time at the office."

The law was passed straight onto Barack Obama who was so impressed with Mr. Webb's work that he passed the law and gave Mr. Webb an immediate $100,000,000/month raise and a complete makeover of his office, it is also reported Obama "pulled some strings" and Webb's water cooler will now be repaired by Thursday instead of Friday.

Anyone in the State of Virginia who is caught licking lemons will be slapped with a $500 fine plus 500 hours community service/unpaid work for first time offenders. Anyone who continues to lick lemons after this could be facing a lengthy sentence in maximum security prison.
