There's a Rule for That!

Apple may have an app for everything, but in Singapore...they've got a rule for everything. No spitting, no littering, no J-walking, no spitting, no importing or selling chewing gum, no leaving a toilet without flushing it, no urinating in an elevator (might not be a bad one to adopt for home application when you've got three boys), no bungee jumping...have I mentioned no spitting.

Yes that's right, no spitting. Unless of course you're the city landmark. As you can see, we caught the Merlion (the city's emblem, it's defining statue) on film spitting right into the Quay. So apparently it's a "do as I say, not a do as our defining city statue is doing" kind of place here.

As we considered this, we stumbled upon a huge loop hole in the no spitting rule. We've also tested this out in the presence of military personel, so you should be fine in following our lead if and when you ever come to Singapore.

Here it is. You are not allowed to spit, but there is apparently no law against impersonating a statue that is spitting (at least not as far as we've been fined for as of the time I'm laying these words down). Hopefully we'll be out the country by the time these photos circulate.
