You purchased here and didn't know what you were buying into? Really?

Okay, so why would anyone have an issue...

Maybe for things like:

Section 2: No business - PERIOD FULL STOP. Nothing ambiguous here, easy to enforce, just ask the owners of TOTV who were reported for violating this one and had to either shut it down or relocate it's "offices". And BTW if any of you are trading stocks online from your laptop at home (late at night with the lights turned off in your closet so no one can see you and report you) with the intent of making a profit, you are in violation and should turn yourselves in, since we know you didn't move here with the intent of violating the rules.

Section 3: Seriously, nothing "noxious or offensive"? Seriously? Uh, defining offensive will be an entire thread in and of itself. Personally I find anything orange to be offensive, and I am sure you will all agree with that, right? I did have a former wife that considered anything Purple offensive, but I did say she was a "former" wife, and that pretty much explains that...

But, then I am sure everyone agrees with me on what offensive means and so there will be no problems enforcing this.

Section 6: What a wealth of humor we have here. This one section has spawned numerous threads in TOTV all by itself. I am sure the committee that wrote it spent a significant amount of time getting the meaning exactly and clearly defined...

Lets start with only 2 goldfish are allowed. PERIOD - FULL STOP AGAIN. Anyone with more than two gold fish in their TV home should be persecuted (or prosecuted, I can't keep the two straight.) Also, I do hope you had your two goldfish neutered - we wouldn't want a couple hundred little goldfishlings spawning unexpectedly - against the rules. Oh, hmm, does a pregnant goldfish count as one goldfish or a hundred goldfish? A single goldfish would not need to be neutered, obviously, unless you let it have its goldfish friends of the opposite sex over on occasion, then appropriate chaperoning is recommended, or having it neutered is strongly suggested.

If you have any poultry you are in direct violation of section 6 - PERIOD FULL STOP - uh well, unless the poultry are birds, in which case two of them are permitted, uh well, unless you also have a Goldfish, then you have to get rid of a bird or the fish. I mean after all - RULES ARE RULES!

Why on earth would you want to move to The Villages knowing that you have two gold fish and a parakeet which is in direct violation of the RULES. Heavens forbid!

And btw, any of you who happen to have dogs, I hope you don't let anyone catch those dogs running around loose inside your house, since it is clearly stated in section 6 of THE RULES that all such pets shall be kept on a leash - PERIOD FULL STOP - NO EXCEPTIONS are defined and therefore no exceptions are permitted.

And for those of you who were lulled into thinking you could at least take your dogs to the off leash dog parks for them to get some exercise running and playing with the other dogs. You should pay close attention to Section 6 which clearly does not provide for any exceptions to the RULES - "such pets" (dogs are part of the animal kingdom defined as pets) shall be kept on a leash. So, sorry, you must keep your pet leashed at all times, even at the off leash dog park.

And speaking of leashes, you better have those gold fish leashed, or else because you know - RULES ARE RULES and the rules clearly and specifically define gold fish as "pets" and the owners of such "pets" are required to keep them on leash(es).

Yep, I agree why would anyone move here knowing they were going to be in violation of THE RULES, because well, all together now - RULES ARE RULES!

Seems pretty simple to me. But, if not, we can continue through the other sections which provide as least as much amusement as these three.
