Why would a Wookiee, an eight-foot tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of two-foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense!
And if you think that does not make sense, wait until you read the rest of what I have to say!
My girlfriend and I recently purchased a car. We purchased it from a neighboring state and now have to go through the rigmarole of getting it "inspected". This isn't a huge problem, as the vehicle was and is well-maintained.
On the other hand, some of the nonsensical rules we've run in to are a slight problem. First off, we need to purchase a part (more on what it is in a minute) which is a dealer-only part. Normally, that would be fine - however, in our case, it is not. What could possibly go wrong? Well, they don't have any in the local FIVE STATE AREA, and had to order it from a Ford plant or a warehouse three states away. It'll be here two days from now. That's annoying, yes. But is it a reason to write a blog entry? Not really, especially since it doesn't exactly NOT make sense.
What DOESN'T make sense is what part it is: a fog lamp. Yes, we have to replace an OPTIONAL device to pass inspection. A majority of cars on the road in America - and even in my home state - don't have fog lamps/lights at all. However, since our car has them, we have to have them completely functional. But, oh folks, it gets better. Not only do they have to be functional if we have them, but since the car came with them, we HAVE TO HAVE THEM. You see, since the part couldn't easily be acquired, I inquired into whether or not I could just REMOVE THEM FROM THE CAR COMPLETELY. As it turns out, I CANNOT DO THAT.
Yes, a completely optional piece of equipment - because it was on the car when purchased (in another state mind you) - has to be on the car and be functional now. And yet, 75% or more of the cars on the road in this state DON'T EVEN FUCKING HAVE THE THING IN QUESTION.
THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE!
