CRAZY LAWS ............

Tinkrbl44 — Wed, 27 Jan 2016 16:36:56 GMT

A little levity here .....

On Good Morning America today, there was mention of a book listing actual crazy laws in the U.S.

Did you know that in the State of Ohio it is illegal to get a fish drunk?

Stupid law, to be sure ..... but I wonder under what circumstances would this law have come to be passed in the first place?

Did an angry fish file a police report?

Yes, but I thought posters here would enjoy coming up with funny replies.

I did know this only because I'm from Ohio and on New Years Eve, one of our cities has the annual Walleye drop and this came up.

It also came up that in Ohio, it's illegal to fish for whales on Sunday. LOL

Maybe people were using the worms from their tequila bottles.

Okay, I'll play.

In California, animals are banned from mating publicly within 1,500 feet of a tavern, school, or place of worship.

In Georgia you cannot carry an ice cream cone in your back pocket on Sundays. Which is good since I normally carry them in my front pocket.

Actually, drunk fish cannot swim, therefore it affects a fisherman's catch. It was the fishermen who got the law passed.

Yeah, okay, whatever.

Back to the fun of stupid laws!

In New York, it is illegal to wear slippers after 10 pm.

In Pennsylvania, all fire hydrants must be checked one hour before a fire.

In Harrisburg, it's illegal to have se* with a truck driver inside a toll booth.

Haha, I learned this the hard way! LOL Just kidding

But it makes me wonder, then............ is it ok if the person's not a truck driver?

In Vail, CO, you can't let your junk get close to other people.

In other Colorado counties, it's illegal to ride a horse while inebriated. ( What? The rider or the horse?) You can't lend your vacuum cleaner to your neighbor. You can't operate a house where two unmarried people can have s*x together.

But, you can buy recreational pot. smile
