Koohii stories:

1) [javiergakusei] 18-9-2007(246): Two cowboys are crossing a state limit. One says to him “Did you know that in this Jurisdiction there are Orders to get your head?”, so he takes out his gun and shoots him. He claims the reward afterwards. (Thanks Fuaburisu).

2) [phauna] 19-2-2008(97): Orders are given by the head person in any jurisdiction.

3) [lerris] 4-7-2007(31): President Bush, with his swelled head, thinks everything is under his jurisdiction.

4) [Talka] 10-9-2007(23): You're outside of your jurisdiction, Johnson! Show me your orders or I'll have your head.

5) [fuaburisu] 22-5-2006(17): Jurisdiction just makes me think of "sheriff". So my story takes place in the jurisdiction of some sheriff. The sheriff goes into a bar and calls the waitress. He looks at one of those "WANTED" posters, with the portrait of a criminal he's been trying to catch for such a long time. When asked for his orders, still staring intently at the picture, he says : "I want the head of that guy on a plate, yep, right now!". The waitress scurried away and brought him just that : orders with a head.
