If there is a rule entitled “Oddities”, add the following text to the end of it:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Ruleset, if a Player Votes against their own Odd Proposal or the Chairman votes to VETO an Odd Proposal then that Odd Proposal may be failed at any time even if it is not then the oldest pending Proposal. If a Player makes an Odd Proposal and that Odd Proposal is failed while the Player’s Piece is still located at the Station to which that Odd Proposal related, then in addition to any other restrictions that may be applicable, that Player may not make any more Odd Proposals until that Player’s Piece moves.

This seems unnecessary give that there’s no limit to the number of odd proposals that a player can have out at any time.

That’s exactly the issue—if there are potentially unlimited odd proposals out there, some of them may be cruft that ought to be cleaned out of the queue. (I’m familiar with the arguments about why this logic should not apply to regular proposals).
