Laws of Man and Nature

Also in Ventura--I was browsing around a vast antique store and I found a mug which, by way of fine print, sported a small cautionary sticker which said something like this:

Then, below it:

This warning does not apply outside the state of California

I knew I should have stayed in Vancouver; it's ever so much safer there.
