I try very hard to be PC, but some laws make me think........


Can you dig it, I made it through yet another week. I really starting dragging around Wednesday or so. Perhaps it is the cold weather that makes me move in slower motion. Nevertheless, I still managed to make it 2 my secular employment and meetings at the hall and even played some basketball. I think I will sleep late on Saturday cause I need my 16 hours of sleep, ya heard me.
Anyway, I was sitting at home watching Lafapalooza and started thinking about some of the crazy laws that are on the books. I understand that laws are basically for our protection, but sometimes I have to just grin and bare it. I have listed some of my favorite ironic laws below. Check them out and see what you thank!!

*No store in Providence, Rhode Island, is allow to sell a toothbrush on Sunday. But they can sell toothpaste and mouthwash on the Sabbath.
*In Atlanta Georgia, it is forbidden to dress a mannequin without first pulling down the window blinds. *It is also illegal to tie a giraffe to a telephone pole or street lamp.
*In Washington state, all lollipops are banned.
*An unmarried woman may not parachute on Sunday in Florida.
*In Kansas, it is against the law to catch fish with your bare hands.
*In Milwaukee, residents must keep pet elephants on a leash while walking them on public streets.
*In Atwoodville, Connecticut, it is illegal to play Scrabble while waiting for a politician to speak.
*In Muncie Indiana, it is illegal to carry fishing tackle in a cemetery.
*In New York, a fine of $25 may still be levied for flirting. This old law prohibits men from turning around on any city street and looking at a woman in that way. A second conviction for this offense requires the offender to wear a pair of racehorse blinders whenever he goes out.
*A law in Kirkland, Illinois, forbids bees from flying over the town.
*In Michigan, a man legally owns his wife's hair.
*It is illegal to gargle in public in Louisiana.
*In Iowa, it is illegal for a kiss to last more than five minutes.
*It is illegal to carry an ice-cream cone in your pocket in Kentucky.
*In Massachusetts, mourners at a wake may not eat more than three sandwiches.
And finally, don't forget that you can be fined up to $500 in Chico California for detonating a nuclear device within the city limits!
I dont know what you think, but i especially like the man legally owning his wife's hair, I am sure that would elimanate all them short hair do's-lol!!

I am WaRd.....
