Haha, I'm actually aware of that gardening meme, but it looks like I could very well be wrong about the avocado ban. There was a legitimate largscale theft of avocados in recent history, and I was sure from that I had learned it's illegal to begin growing your own. I did a quick Google search and can't find a source for that. It may be a totally erroneous idea, or it may be related to difficulty getting permits to grow them commercially.

As for family court, you know in NZ it is a frequent but macabe quip: it is easier to kill your wife than divorce her? People say that for a reason, and people don't just light themselves on fire so easily.
