No cows allowed

Not an inflatable cow!

My job can sometimes be funny. I just got off the phone with a guy who wanted to put three giant inflatable cows on the public beach as a promotion for milk.

I had to tell him this wouldn't be allowed for multiple reasons - municipal code prohibits inflatables in public parks and beaches; the beach's use guidelines prohibit events where the main purpose is promotional; and probably a couple of others I didn't look up.

But it was a heckuva conversation to have, discussing which county, state, or local municipality might allow displays of giant inflatable cows. Whoever said being a petty bureaucrat would be boring?
