Ever wonder about the frame of mind of some of our lawmakers? I’m sure, somewhere along the way, some of our politicians had a lapse in sanity when suggesting the mundane, but come on, not one man passed the laws. They had to be approved by a body of men and women.
While I will admit that, maybe at one time or another, some of these laws were necessary, they have fallen though the cracks of time and have gone unchanged through the years. Others, however, are just so dumb, I can’t help but wonder, WHAT WHERE THEY THINKING!!!???
For instance, did you know that in Alabama and Georgia, it is illegal to have an ice cream cone in your back pocket? I don’t know about you, but I prefer mine in my hand so I can take periodic licks of this tasty treat.
Perhaps Hillary Clinton should have stayed in Arkansas and help them repeal this one. The State Law reads that it IS legal for a man to beat his wife, as long as it’s not done more than once a month.
I love living in Florida, but honestly, I cannot understand how these laws were passed:
It is illegal to sing in public while wearing a bathing suit Should I then, sing nude?
Having sex with a porcupine is illegal. OUCH
It is illegal to skateboard without a license. My grandson can’t even read yet, but tries his feet at this feat! What should HE do?
Here’s a classic You may not pass wind in a public place after 6 p.m. on Thursdays. Guess I’ll just hold it until Friday!
It is illegal to shower naked! Who the heck is gonna know! But then, I guess I can do my laundry at the same time, huh?
Enough for Florida, let’s pick on Idaho - a sweetheart’s delight - unless she’s on a diet! It’s illegal for a man to give his sweetheart a box of candy weighing LESS than 50 pounds!
Should you plan on visiting Illinois, please call first. The State says you must contact the police before entering the city in an automobile - and be prepared to be bilingual. The State law prohibits the speaking of the English language.
Now I know why the Wizard left Kansas. He went in search for a brain! In this State, the law reads, ’’If two trains meet on the same track, neither shall proceed until the other has passed.’’ I can think of only one word: HUH?
I’m not trying to pick on anyone here, but I simply can’t end this without mentioning Texas! Here is a land of plain-speaking, down-home, folk! A place where nonsense is just not tolerated! The land of the Alamo! Yet, I still must wonder at this State law. A recently passed anticrime law requires the criminals to give their victims 24-hours notice, either orally or in writing, explaining the nature of the crime to be committed! (Don’t mind me, Suh! Tomorra, I’ma gonna steal yer horse!)
This list goes on and on, state after state, law after law!
These are just a few of the STATE lass listed on this site. There are, however, CITY and TOWN laws at which you can wonder and laugh.
