dear diary (odd state laws) 07/01/2009

dear diary,

it's been a long time since i've blogged about anything. i had an interesting conversation with a friend of mine at work today regarding odd state laws. here are a few that make me laugh...

in alabama it is illegal to wear a fake moustache that causes laughter in church. i've been in churches where a fake moustache would just be the icing on the cake and wouldn't really amount to much laughter. what about watching a grown man poop his pants during a church service? yeah, i've seen this. putting salt on a railroad track may be punishable by death (also in the state of alabama). really? what about pepper?

in clawson michigan, it is legal for a farmer to "sleep with his pigs, cows, horses, goats, and chickens. really? just those animals? why only clawson is it ok in the surrounding area? i've been to clawson michigan before and believe me they should outlaw dogs, cats, birds (if that's even feasible) too. also in michigan all dentists are officially classified as "mechanics". i had a dentist in michigan that smelled like alcohol...so...yeah i can see this one.

and now that i live in NC i found that it's illegal for rabbits to race along side of the road. law enforcement best be prepared for my phone calls on this one. also, state law mandates that all couples staying in rooms for one night must be kept in room with double beds, kept a minimum of two feet apart, and making love on the floor between the beds is strictly forbidden. It is illegal to have sex in a churchyard...what if you have church in a hotel between the beds?

these have made me laugh quite a bit today...hopefully, this will make you do the same.

i love you all, and that's a state law...
