Another story too stupid to not be true

You probably have heard of such stupidity before, but it still makes you want to scream.

Girls' Lemonade Stand Shut Down Over Permits

MIDWAY, Ga. (AP) - Police in Georgia have shut down a lemonade stand run by three girls trying to save up for a trip to a water park, saying they didn't have a business license or the required permits.

Midway Police Chief Kelly Morningstar says police also didn't know how the lemonade was made, who made it or what was in it.

The girls had been operating for one day when Morningstar and another officer cruised by.

The girls needed a business license, peddler's permit and food permit to operate, even on residential property. The permits cost $50 a day or $180 per year.

One girl, 14-year-old Casity Dixon, says the three had to listen to police and shut down.

The girls are now doing chores and yard work to make money.

Chief, you sound like a little girl who got caught taking a cookie from the jar and saying "Mommie I don't think these are safe for you so I'm going to get them away from you..."

But gotta say this comment is classic.

The cops need to lighten the **** up! While deadbeat welfare parents are teaching their kids how to "work the system" (I have witnessed it), some hard-working, self-sufficient parents are also teaching their kids how to support themselves. I guess the little girls forgot the put the cops on the payroll.

What a load of......
