Bicameral Debate: The Shoe Act

[Jabberwocky]

I want to enact some legislation, and I believe this issue is bicameral. Here's the gist:

Given that we live in an Island Paradise, and that as such, matters of attire lean toward the comfortable and casual. Consequently, consider the municipal code that dictates "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service". I move that the phrase No Shoes shall be stricken fro that code. Shirts, of course, still keep us from having to witness some clown displaying his Jabba the Hutt gut in public. 
If my fellow Islanders support this notion, we will put it to a formal vote.

I move that shoes will no longer be required on Taco Island.

[Liberdon]

On behalf of all Taco Island penguins, I second this notion! With the exception of flippers, there are absolutely no shoes that comfortably fit the feet of penguins. We should not have to suffer in silence. Strike the shoes!

[Jabberwocky]

I'm a little surprised at the lack of support on this issue. Meanwhile I'll put my shoeless feet up on my desk and read The Surfing News.

The opposition must have struck some backroom deals 

[Tymus]

I do not like feet, and never wish to see another’s feet. However, I respect the right of another over their body. Just…I have a right to turn and walk in the other direction. I hope my totally, democratically elected Taco Island officials don’t try to indoctrinate us with these shoeless ideals!

[Jabberwocky]

Excellent! Opposition gives us an excuse to put it to a vote.

[Tymus]

Oh well. The election probably would have been rigged anyways.

[Tuga Nation's Dragon]

Dragons don't use shoes so...

[Jabberwocky]

I need someone to second my motion.

[Tuga Nation's Dragon]

I do

[Liberdon]

I do too.

[Jabberwocky]

Proper procedure and protocol stipulate that you must say, "I second the motion."

[Tuga Nation's Dragon]

I second the motion!

[Liberdon]

I third the motion!

[Jabberwocky]

Well, then, it's anonymous unanimous. Almost.

[Tuga Nation's Dragon]

Lit the fires!

[Jabberwocky]

It reminds me of bra burning ceremonies in the 60s.

[Tuga Nation's Dragon]

Well, we can burn those too... Should I start heating my breath?

[Jabberwocky]

Be sure to give the ladies a chance to take them off first.

[Tuga Nation's Dragon]

Of course! I like hot ladies but doesn't mean I want to burn them...

[Liberdon]

Well, this conversation took a turn.

[Tuga Nation's Dragon]

Not my fault

[Jabberwocky]

Ladies, fire extinguishers are available in the lobby.

[Tuga Nation's Dragon]

We always follow the most recent safety regulations

[Jabberwocky]

As stipulated by Occupational Health and Safety Administration.

I believe that I’ll stick with my sandals, I’ve seen how poorly patrons of some of the local establishments aim at the urinals after they’ve had a few

[Jabberwocky]

Quite right. I favor footwear to protect my feet. But in an Island Paradise, I eschew shoes. Sandals are my choice, as I hate flip-flops.

[Aersoldorf]

Same, can’t stand the strap between my toes with flip flops
