The nerve of some law-makers.

It is not legal to sleep naked in Minnesota. And your bathtub must have feet.

Rhode Island does not allow lunatics and idiots to marry -OH REALLY?? Or throw pickle juice on trolley cars (define "pickle juice" please).

Alabama will not let you take a bath in a public fountain -at least in Moblile...

...and the State of Georgia will not let you give your ass a bath in a bathtub (donkey that is).

I equate the defence of marriage acts from various state legislators among these.

Until very recently (like the last ten years or so) there were liquor regulations in Washington State that said that everyone in a cocktail lounge had to be seated. Your drink had to be bought to the table by a staff member, and women couldn't be seated at the bar. Most places ignored those rules, but a few stuck to them.

And you couldn't serve liquor unless you had a restaurant attached that sold more food than the bar sold liquor. So lots of incredibly overpriced dining rooms that had a thriving "catering business"

The regulations also stated that you couldn't have windows in the lounges (lest people see you in your shameful state) and the entrance had to be inside the restaurant (so you couldn't sneak in. The respectable diners got to see you skulk in)

Oh, and bars could stay open until 1am. Unless it was Saturday night, when they had to close at midnight.

And people nowadays complain about "The nanny state" ;-)
 
In Alabama, it is illegal to carry an ice cream cone in your back pocket.

Tennessee bars using lassos to catch fish.

In Gainesville, GA, it is illegal to use utensils to eat fried chicken.
 
Oh, and Toggle, where I live it is prohibited to hitch an animal to the courthouse fence. This is despite the fact that the courthouse hasn't had a fence since 1963.
 
In Kansas

You are still required:
When meeting a horse at a crossing, the driver of the motor vehicle must shut off his engine and cover the motor vehicle with a tarp as not to startle the horse.

Until around the first of this year you could not purchase alcohol on Sunday.
 
That's because

here in the South fried chicken is meant to be eaten without a fork or knife. I remember when that was passed fa-f3-20.

Silly yes, and a waste of tax money to introduce such legislation. Be it local ordinance or on the State level.

The town of Kennesaw in the north Georgia mountains passed a local law that ALL citizens must own a hand gun. I reckon that way you shoot the offender who dares to use a fork and knife on that fried chicken!
 
In Alaska, you can't look at moose from an airplane.

If I remeber correctly, one of Clint Eastwood's first acta as mayor of Carmel (?), California was to repeal a law against eating ice cream in public.
 
Toggles, that's really incredible. As in I don't believe it. How would police or anyone have any idea who's gay and who isn't?

I wouldn't put anything past Florida but this story is truly unbelievable.
 
I don't believe so. It was all public information. If SOMEBODY can publicly lie, then SOMEBODY ELSE can publicly publish the truth. Especially when the truth is public information!

You mean *bait*?

And no, you already knew. I DID figure out what that gibberish you sent last night was. Stick that in your straw and suck it.
 
Darn, I didn't know I broke the law while at the 2001 convention. That burly, ex linebacker police officer wasn't around to arrest me! I guess I need to go back and visit Minnesota!!
 
Actually Reggie I did not. I was all gibberish, I pulled that off of some website. It would work had I implemented it here, but I don't have access to code on YahooMail, I mean really, HELLO! Google it and you will see. I knew it was one of three possible perps, I've seen all the emails and postings. Thanks to you "friends". I just didn't know which one, now we all do.

But had I contacted Yahoo, I would have figured it out. So either way it doesn't matter.

Bate or Bait, either way it tastes really good. Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
 
Oh Robert,

This is delicious! "Come out, come out, wherever you are and meet the young lady who fell from a star!"

Thank you Robert.

Meanwhile, here pussy, pussy, pussy................I've got a bowl of milk for you.

GOOD JOB

Robert!!! I got a private e-mail reply to a posting I wrote on the VCCC Forum from this coward. I too had some suspicion regarding the perpetrator and now it is confirmed. BTW, Chuckles McCacklin has vanished from Yahoo e-mail....big surprise. You are right, friends do stick together. We appreciate all you do and have done for us all.

In Texas:

When two trains meet each other at a railroad crossing, each shall come to a full stop, and neither shall proceed until the other has gone.

It is illegal to take more than three sips of beer at a time while standing.

A recently passed anti-crime law requires criminals to give their victims 24 hours notice, either orally or in writing, and to explain the nature of the crime to be committed.

Also if the original charge doesn't fit the crime then the judge can continuously lower the level of the crime with other charges that you may qualify for. Eventually, they'll find some thing to stick you with. This is where the term "Trumped Up Charges" comes from.
For Example:
Murder 1 (y/n) if N then
Murder 2 (y/n) if N then
Murder 3 (y/n) if N then
Manslaugher (y/n) if N then
Assault with a deadly weapon (y/n) if N then
Simple Assault (y/n) if N then
Disorderly Conduct (y/n)
