page ���� �� �� �� LawsBy Jane Myers After sitting at the computer all day my mind sometimes has a tendency to wander a little bit outside of the working mode and on to the ridiculous things I can see on the wonderful world of the internet. You can “Google” almost anything you are interested in. Today I decided to find wacky laws that actually exist in various states. Just by these crazy laws being passed tells me at one time or another someone has done these things! Did you know that in Florida, owners of commercial establishments where alcohol is sold may be fined up to $1,000 if they participate in or permit any contest of dwarf tossing? The law makes sense, but the fact that the state has to spell it out might make you scratch your head. In Alabama you can’t wear a fake mustache that causes laughter in church. But what about those that are not fake that look like handlebars on a bike? It makes me wonder if the churches there have a committee that stands at the door yanking on mustaches to see if they are real? Donkeys cannot sleep in bathtubs in Arizona, so be sure to dry your donkey off and put him to bed after his bath. In Georgia you can’t keep an ice cream cone in your back pocket on Sundays. But on Monday it is okay. Perhaps if you wear the same clothes on Tuesday you can make that delicious cone last!! Giving your sweetheart a box of chocolates weighing more than 50 pounds is illegal in Idaho. Hmmm, not even going to dwell on that one! In Louisiana don’t even think about surprising a friend with a pizza delivery. It’s a $500 fine for sending a pizza man to a friend’s house without them knowing. A woman isn’t allowed to cut her own hair without her husband’s permission in Michigan. It would be interesting to see how the divorce rate is there compared to other states, or maybe even the rate of husbands being murdered?! In New Mexico neither idiots or insane persons can vote, but they are allowed to run for public office! I am very curious how they determine the idiots. Maybe the lawmakers that came up with the law??? Don’t even think about tickling your lady friend in Virginia because it is illegal to tickle women! Now in West Virginia you may take your roadkill home for dinner. This actually lowered the cost of road maintenance in West Virginia. No joke. Now how are all those buzzards going to survive? It’s illegal to remove more than half a sheep’s ear in Wyoming. I am just scratching my head and wondering what you would do with a fourth of a sheep’s ear! Perhaps I better get back to work now because this has all just made my mind a little tired. 33
