*Marge's pester.org petition:
**"Do you think it's fair that some private golf clubs pay less on their property taxes than the rest of us? I sure don't! I only found out because Ralph Wiggum's imaginary friend, Mr. Rum-ta-Tum, showed him what was behind the Big Hedge. This isn't the first time Mr. Rum-ta-Tum has drawn our attention to wasteful municipal fiscal policy. Last year, this teddy bear drum major (who floats several feet above the ground) led Ralph and a pretend marching band of one hundred high-stepping trumpeters on a merry parade to Springfield Industrial Park. It was later discovered that the Park's construction contract was awarded through a non-competitive, rigged bid. Thank you, Mr. Rum-ta-Tum!"

**5. "Thy preferred hat shall be a visor, for some reason"
**6. "Thou shalt convey thy neighbor's new putter"
**7. "Try out the clubhouse B.L.T., it's out of this world"
**8. "Thou shalt not improve thy lie (if anyone's looking!)"
**9. "A bad day on the links beats a good day at work, buddy"
**10. "Thou shalt not act too comfortable in the steam room"
