Hollywood: It is illegal to drive more than 2000 sheep down Hollywood Bouleward simultanously.

Then why are all those stupid actors still on the streets?

Definitely one to bookmark/print out. California, Illinois are among the funniest states, but all are great. New York is good too. I live in NYC and should have been wearing horse blinders a long time ago.

This is the most funniest thing I have ever read. Thanks.

In Norman, Oklahoma it is illegal for a woman over the age of 18 and under the age of 40 to sit upon the lap of a man between the age of 17 and 30 without an intervening pillow of at least 6 inches thickness on a Sunday afternoon.

BTW, there is an interesting background to this law. The law was passed during WWII to combat prostitution. Norman was one of the largest basic training centers in the United States. All these young men, between the ages of 17 and 30, only got Sunday's afternoon off. The world's oldest profession was wont to practice their trade in the city park. They facilitated this by wearing rather long and loose skirts. The details of their practicing, the difficulties of actually catching them, and logic should be fairly obvious. I had a friend who was arrested for violating in the sixties. Her and a friend were parking, a cop told them to move on, the friend lipped off to the cop, and my friend got arrested.

Thanks for the ping. We do need some humor on this very black day. It might be time to bring out the Pun Thread. That one always has me in stitches.

Illegal for a man to give his sweetheart a box of candy weighing less than fifty pounds.

Finally, a law that I can support!!!

Kentucky: Anyone who has been drinking is sober until s/he "cannot hold onto the ground".

That's what I keep telling the bartender…

"THANKS" I JUST GOT BACK IN AND FOUND THE SAD NEWS ABOUT THE FALLEN FIREFIGHTER.

Denver: It is illegal to mistreat rats.

Aha!! I knew it. This explains a lot.

Why? Because there are references to "sexual acts" and "making love"? Please. Watched MTV lately? I think if kids are lurking around here, they are already mature enough and well equipped. The ones who aren't don't usually surf the conservative political websites.
