Yep, our government has finally stepped over the illegal line right over onto the pure, totally lackluster stupid line! I was astounded when I saw some of these laws and truly didn't believe they really existed, but sure enough with a little research I found that they are ALL on the books. So when you're walking through town, better think twice about stepping on that crack in the sidewalk, because I'm sure that somewhere in this great country of ours, it's illegal!

It's illegal to throw snowballs in Belton, Mo. Flying a kite is illegal in Schaumburg, Ill. In Oregon and New Jersey it's illegal to pump your own gas. Kern County, Calif., they've made it illegal to play Bingo while drunk. Well let me ask you, where's the fun in that? In Illinois you may not hunt bullfrogs with a firearm. If you can't hunt 'em with a firearm, how in the world are you supposed to catch 'em? And if you go to El Paso, Texas, you better not sell any ice from out of town, though I don't know how in the world you'd be able to sell any ice from out of town by the time you got there it'd be melted!

In Tuscaloosa, Fla.you can't give animals any alcoholic drink. But what about the alcoholic dog named Boozer, who became an alcoholic BEFORE this law was passed? Shouldn't there be a grandfather clause or something? In Honolulu it's illegal to annoy a bird, course that means that Hawaii isn't as much fun as it was before! Arkansas actually has a law against pronouncing their state name as "Ar-Kansas. Funny, you can date your sister, but you can't say Ar-Kansas. You can't use a pogo stick on a city bus in Fairfax County, Va. Ok, that one doesn't even deserve a response. It's illegal to deface a milk carton in Massachusetts. A milk carton? A man with a moustache may not kiss a woman in Eureka, Ill. Guess they sell LOTS of shavers there don't they?

And the stupid laws keep going and going and going on and on forever and ever.

Here's a new one sent to us from Donna:

You know, in PA, husbands must have written consent from their wives to purchase alcohol!!!

Boy I'll bet there are a lot of football watching, beer drinking pissed off men!

A New One On Us!

Although I live in KY, recently I heard of a law in Chicago that makes the
use of "foul language" illegal. Apparently, this is already against the law,
but the wise citizens of Chicago are voting to increase the fine to $300.

The mere mention of this absurdity infuriates me! How can this be? How did
this group of people lose sight of one of our most basic rights? WHERE IS
FREEDOM OF SPEECH in Chicago?
