That is just ridicules! It probably won’t hold up in court, but who knows. Probably done for the publicity.

I have a tee shirt I got two years ago in North Carolina I think it's from the beekeeping group there that has that slogan on it.  I think the slogan has been around a while.

A search on Google returns 904 hits and most are selling shirts, greeting cards etc. with that slogan on them.

It probably won’t hold up in court, but who knows.

If you read the "odd news" in that newspaper:

"Pants-dropping, coin-flipping incidents cost Virginia judge his job
David Grace / Associated Press
Judge James Michael Shull was removed from the bench after incidents such as deciding a custody dispute by flipping a coin.
From the Associated Press
November 2, 2007
RICHMOND, Va. -- A judge who ordered a woman to drop her pants and decided a custody dispute by flipping a coin was removed from the bench by the Virginia Supreme Court on Friday."

Ay! Salomon, Salomon... :?

I will have to ask them about this when I get back. I have done presentations for them.
I am going iinto discussions with them to help form a beekeeper club in Broward County.

Sincerely,
