Johnson County deputies don't want to see your children struggling to grasp your miserable stump of a hand after the Fourth of July, so they're enforcing the fireworks ban in JoCo all weekend.

"According to county regulations, fireworks, including sparklers, are illegal without a permit in all unincorporated areas of Johnson County" (emphasis MINE! ALL MINE!), according to Master Deputy Tom Erickson, the official holiday joy-dampener with the Johnson County Sheriff's office.(Fireworks remain illegal without a permit in the incorporated parts of the county, too.)

If you get busted buying or selling fireworks in JoCo, the fines can be between $25 (for the worst fireworks ever perhaps) up to $100 (yeah, baby, depleted uranium!!!).

First they ban the incest in JOCO. Then they crack down on the meth. Now they're against the fireworks? Hell, things are so boring in JOCO the residents will soon have to cross over into JACO to have any fun...wait. Oh.
