Pillsbury Doughboy: Not Allowed within 1000 feet of school

Why, you ask?

Growing bans (at least in CA) on bake sales.   No word on whether the Pentagon will impose a similar ban, thus dashing the hopes of bumper-sticker purveyors.  

This seems like a well-intentioned rule horribly misapplied.  Then again, back in my elementary school days, a hepatitis outbreak at the bakery at BJ's, a local version of Sam's Club, caused bake sales to go on hiatus, the irony being that only store-bought goods were thereafter allowed to be sold, and only store-bought goods had caused hepatitis.  So, I guess there's a precedent for learning the wrong lessons when it comes to bake sales.
