I can just see it now. A government ban on patio furniture. Must comply with statute AP67208g All patio furniture shall be secured to the patio with not less than 6 4 X 3/8 stainless steel bolts with washers, and shall have no rounded corners with a minimum of 4 inch high density foam that is safety yellow. Chairs shall be labeled with large posters indicating that the furniture could be used as a weapon, and shall be roped off to allow a minimum of a 6 foot clear area to prevent access to said chairs. Patio furniture shall not be advertised on TV commercials, to avoid having an adverse effect on children 18 years old and younger. Patio furniture shall be used in accordance with all Federal and Chinese regulations and shall not be used with a fat rear end capacity of more than 74 pounds. Pre ban patio furniture, shall not be permitted to have a high capacity magazine nor a pistol grip, and must have at least 6 chinese parts on it and can not be green, because green is an evil color and cannot have vented arm rests or heat shields!
