Ever wonder how some laws got on the books,
or why they are still listed?
There are a bunch, a whole bunch,
many more than you would imagine.
Most I would guess are not really
enforced anymore, but technically they're
still the law, none the less.
For instance, in Alabama, it is against the law
to drive with a blindfold on,
even though we are now moving into the realm
of self-driving cars, which in my mind is about
the same thing.
Under the circumstance, do you think that
law should be stricken?
It might be better just to double-down on it.
Oh, and whether you are driving or not,
don't have an ice cream cone in your back pocket.
It's a law, and it still applies.
In lots of places it is legal to go
hunting for bear, but...
don't go waking up the bear for a selfie.
I couldn't find what the fine might
be for that, but it's not a stretch to
decide which would upset the bear more,
being shot, or shot at.
There is a place out west where
you can't wear cowboy boots
unless you own at least two cows.
Wouldn't want any Posers
pretending to be a ranch hand
when they're really just a Dude.
Got mice?
Don't get caught setting a
mouse trap without a hunting license.
That's in California,
which is not surprising, is it...
A growing trend is that it is now 'legal'
to remove those tags that say
"Do not remove under penalty of law".
Spent a lot of sleepless nights over that one.
There's a place in the Northeast
where you're not allowed
to eat in your car.
Very fastidious folks up there.
Down south, donkeys may not
be kept in bathtubs.
Please don't ask.
Ok, if you must, why...?
Idaho,
big baked potatoes and all that good stuff.
Seems they really, really, like their chocolates too,
because the sheriff will be knocking at your door
if you give your sweetie a box of candy
that weighs less than 50 pounds.
In the Midwest, if you're going to sell your
wheelbarrow, you can't put a For-Sale sign
on it if it is chained to a tree.
Might as well just cross out the
For-Sale and write FREE instead.
Still in the Midwest, there is a small town
where bathing is a no-no in the winter.
Maybe it gets too cold to smell anything?
In land-locked Kansas
you will receive a citation if you're
foolish enough to go hunting for whales.
Waterville, Maine.
You're looking for trouble
if you blow your nose in public.
[drip drip drip]
Ahhh... New England Clam Chowder,
but if you like tomatoes you'll have to
sneak them into the recipe.
Why do they have a problem with tomatoes?
Is it because they don't live in the ocean?
Speaking of New England,
government may have gone a bit too far up there.
If you are in a National Recreation Area
don't be cleaning the beach,
picking up litter, or hauling away trash.
There's a $150 fine for maintaining
public property without a permit.
For the safety of residents,
all fire hydrants must be inspected
one hour before any fire.
Before the fire?
How does that work?
How do you know
when there's going to be a fire?
Ask a Pennsylvanian, it's their law.
Back down South again
you'll be standing before a judge
if you catch a fish with a lasso.
Ok,
now wait a minute...
Anyone who can catch a fish
with a lasso should absolutely
be released on his on recognizance.
Nuff said...
