Here in Tennessee...

* I realized I'd submitted these back in, oh, 2005...I have no recollection of this, Senator.

Nevermind. I'm not here...

Loo-looloo...BOO!

They say your memory is one of the first things to go...

It is also illegal to take unfinished pie home. All pie must be eaten on the premises. • Also in Memphis, it is illegal for a woman to drive by herself; "a man must walk or run in front of the vehicle, waving a red flag in order to warn approaching pedestrians and motorists." I'm not touching that last one...the 'Nova female population is growing, and I don't want them all out to get me!

Hmm 3 out of 5 isn't bad!

• It is illegal to be drunk on Licensed Premises (in a pub or bar).
  - It's also illegal to serve alcohol to a drunk person. We teach this one at work.
  
• Those wishing to purchase a television must also buy a license.
  - To outsiders, that really does sound odd.
  
• It is illegal for two adult men to have sex in the same house as a third person.
  - But two women and one man is fine.

Man, I'm in a time warp. I didn't even check the dates (I thought this was a new thread).

I had no idea I'd posted before. I don't even remember it.

Oh well...I'll zap my second response from yesterday.

Hey, no need to feel bad. I thought it was cool that you could rephrase the same laws (and there was a new one) and all were cast in a bit different light.

Anyway, it's one sure sign that you're fast becoming "Golden-level" member of AN.

Yeah, give me my senior-discount meal card and bus pass, and I'm set!

I think -if recent- that is more about people having wild animals as pets and chaining them up in their yard. Detroit is notorious for its animal abuse situation / people chaining up dogs and all kinds of other stuff in their house / yards. It's a goofily worded law but doesn't surprise me in a way.

I must have missed this thread the first time through, but I'm glad it got bumped. Threads like this are invaluable... They tend to reveal who has a sense of humor, and who needs a bit of a personality transfusion! If you read back through it, you'll see what I mean!

These are hilarious. And about the Florida and sex with a porcupine...well...knowing some of the small-town people in my HS...I'd not be surprised o.o

Live in awe of Missourians...

Missouri considers drunkenness an "inalienable right."

And for all of cali's laws, Reagan once noted, "Government's view [of the economy] could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it. " along with, "Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves." and finally, "Government always finds a need for whatever money it gets."

Hello Apple Enthusiast! Normally when someone says hello they don't revive an old and unrelated thread.

I do hope you don't come back and try to insert a link into your post or spam us in other threads.

Resurrection is real, this thread is proof!
