Dutch to ban toe-licking

Aug 07, 2004- Permalink

According to a report on Reuters, the Dutch government is proposing to ban unsolicited toe-licking after the lack of a law prevented them from prosecuting a toe-licker.

Apparently, the man in question would sneak up on sunbathers in Rotterdam and begin licking their toes without permission. According to a police spokesperson, “The officers had to let him go. Licking a stranger’s toes is rather unusual but there is really nothing criminal about it.”

Once the whole toe-licking issue is dealt with, Dutch daycare workers hope the government will focus on ankle-biters.
