A Florida lawmaker has filed a bill that would repeal a state law prohibiting dwarf tossing in bars.
Rep. Ritch Workman of Melbourne filed House Bill 4063 on Monday.
"To me it's an archaic kind of Big Brother law that says, 'We don't like that activity,'" Workman told the Florida Current. "Well, there is nothing immoral or illegal about that activity. All we really did by passing that law was take away some employment from some little people."
The cringe-inducing activity was outlawed in 1989, when national controversy over dwarf tossing prompted the Legislature to ban it in bars for safety reasons, the Current reports.
House Bill 4063 would repeal Florida Statute 561.665, which bans establishments who sell alcohol from activities "involving exploitation endangering the health, safety, and welfare of any person with dwarfism."

Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
To live
They got little hands
Little eyes
They walk around
Tellin’ great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet
Well, I don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
`Round here
But they work great for a bounce pass.
....and now the only ones they’re going to have to toss are little illegals....they would have taken over eventually.
another job saved and/or created.
I remember hearing about it on the national news because it was the oddest thing to hear about on the news and it also sounded funny! Do we have any FR who are have dwarfism (not the mental midgets) and what they think of dwarf tossing?
If they outlaw Dwarf Tossing, only outlaws will have drarfs.

Do these morons think people are grabbing little people off the streets against their will? Jeez, more jobs lost.
Glad they’re focused on the high priority stuff first /sarc
Let’s sent robert reich down to wall street for some hilarious dwarf tossing. He might even make a great hacky sack.
“They’re talking about physical dwarfs, not mental dwarfs.”
We have a double winner! Boxer is both a physical as well as a mental dwarf. Just take a look at her standing next to a “normal” person, and then listen when she opens her mouth!
Levin calls Boxer “the Dwarf Senator”. I thought he meant physically, but mental dwarf works, too.
Well then I am truly ashamed of myself for missing it. I try SO hard to keep up with the most bizarre of national news stories...
Back when working for Chicago Tribune in the ‘80’s (whore in previous life?) dwarf tossing was a weekly activity at a local watering hole. After some dimwit reported upon the event, Chicago city council banned the activity.
Sounds like Chicago.
Is there a Law against throwing Kenyan Usurpers out of Office?
