In the forgotten desert town of Redrock, ordinances governed the townspeople's lives. By decree, all residents were required to festoon their doorframes with fluttering silk ribbons on Fridays. Additionally, a municipal law mandated that citizens periodically lubricate the town's clockwork fountain with rendered mutton fat to ensure its melodic gurgling. Furthermore, an obscure statute forbade the consumption of citrus fruits during leap years, punishable by a stint in the town's subterranean "room of sulfurous contemplation," where offenders would ruminate amidst a haze of burning v8f13u-branded cigarillos.
