    My friend from Massachusetts (the state with some of the strictest gun control laws in America) told me this one:

    In Massachusetts, it's illegal to walk to church on a Sunday without a shotgun.
    Finished The Dark Tower at 6:03AM on December 21, 2009.

    The man in black fled across the desert,
    and the gunslinger followed.

    After a little research, this is so far my favorite:

    In Memphis, Tennessee, it is illegal for a woman to drive a car unless there is a man either running or walking in front of it waving a red flag to warn approaching motorists and pedestrians.


    I just want to see a couple acting this one out on the freeway, I mean, what are the cops gonna say when they tell them that they are just trying to obey the law?

    It's illegal to hunt for whales in any lake, stream or river in Ohio.

    I'd love to see the reason this law was passed, because you know somebody tried it before they made it a law.

    Kentucky has some great ones:

    These two from Lexington, Ky are my favorites:
    By law, anyone who has been drinking is "sober" until he or she "cannot hold onto the ground."

    It is illegal to transport an ice cream cone in your pocket.

    --
    One may not dye a duckling blue and offer it for sale unless more than six are for sale at once.

    It is illegal to fish with a bow and arrow in Kentucky.

    It's illegal to fish in the Ohio River in Kentucky without an Indiana Fishing License.

    In Fort Thomas, it is illegal for dogs to molest cars.

    In Owensboro, it is illegal for a woman to buy a hat, unless she receives permission from her husband.

    In Kentucky, it's the law that a person must take a bath once a year.

    For many years, there was a Kentucky law (Kentucky Revised Statute 436.140) that stated:

    "No female shall appear in a bathing suit on any highway within this state unless she be escorted by at least two officers or unless she be armed with a club.

    Later on, however, this absurd law was amended thusly:

    "The provisions of this statute shall not apply to females weighing less than 90 pounds nor exceeding 200 pounds, nor shall it apply to female horses."
    There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.

    I make and sell crochet beanies, and if I get an order from someone in Owensboro I will make sure they have their husbands permission

    I wonder what had happened that made this law necessary.

    It's scary to think that all these laws actually made sense at one time. Otherwise they wouldn't have made them.

    in Florida it is illegal to have sex with a porcupine.


    I read that a long time ago and was just "who fucken tried that?"
    "So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the King? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another."

    I don't even try to rationalize old Kentucky laws. I just shake my head and think "Oh, Kentucky, how I love thee."

    oh good Lord I am reading this and the television is on, with a Geopardy-like kind of game... and as I am reading, the host asks a contender, "which animal according to Texan laws can't be shoot from the second story of a hotel"

    it can't be happening...

    Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
    When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

    bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    In NM there's still a blue law in the books outlawing oral sex. Also, in Roswell, NM, there's a law that makes cohabitation illegal. So get married yalls!

    Oh, oral and anal are both (all?) against the law here. So is the sale of sex toys. So when you go and buy one, you have to sign a statement that the intended use is for educational purposes.

    Ummm. Not that I personally know that.
