That's actually an increase.

What next?
"No boinking your sister" in West Virginia?
Shouldn't people know these things already?

Another state law, for example, stated that "No female shall appear in a bathing suit on any highway within this state unless she be escorted by at least two officers or unless she be armed with a club." The law was later amended with: "The provisions of this statute shall not apply to females weighing less than 90 pounds nor exceeding 200 pounds, nor shall it apply to female horses."

I think they're on to something here. As soon as they remove the highway part and the club part and the horse part and reverse the demographic...

Cool. In two hours, cleaning up my dead horse's carcass will be my neighbor's responsibility. Stupid Flanders.

Ky. Law Mandates Bathing Once a Year

Good thing I don't live in Kentucky!

/smelly

Another local law concerns a dog tax that was imposed......"The sheriff is to collect the tax or shoot the dog,"

Hell, I'll do it for free.

Speaking of West Virginia, I once stumbled across some KKK propaganda giving a bunch of arguments for why white people are superior.

One of their reasons was that West Virginia was the "most white" state in the country and had the lowest crime rate.

Of course, look at farking West Virginia...

What about bums?

Can you imagine that this law had to be devised and passed by a vote? Perhaps even while the members of the legislature were sober?

(There's also a law that states all ducks must wear long pants. )

All of em? At Once? Together????


Ick.

elchip, I saw something similar just a 100 miles from the South Carolina-Georgia border (on the South Carolina side) plastered to the side of a pay phone.

I just thought to myself, "Seriously. Do they think people will stand at a phone and read that them darkies are ruining the country, then suddenly change their tolerant ways to join the ignorant masses?"

And then I realized...this was posted by the ignorant masses...

About damn time!!

I might have thought it was Wyoming or Vermont. But that's just my $0.02

Just another reason to support the so called "anarchists" in my neck of the woods not bathing. "What the MAN wants me to bathe, well screw the MAN he wants me to bathe to conform...."

...therefore forcing the already-small French population to flee the state in horror.

(yes, I'm French. What's do you think I have this silly accent?)

Another local law concerns a dog tax that was imposed. Park said the handwritten statute, found in very old minutes of city council meetings required a small amount for each dog be collected. "The sheriff is to collect the tax or shoot the dog," according to the minutes.


No wonder dogs hate mailmen.... they mistake them for the sheriff....you know with the guns n all

Hey, it's not the only state with stupid laws.

Florida: Unmarried women may not parachute on Sundays.

Hawaii: You may be fined if you don't own a boat.

California: Illegal to eat an orange in your bathtub.

Illinois: Illegal to give a lit cigar to your pet.

Indiana: You may not bathe during the winter.

Massachusetts: Mourners at a wake may not eat more than three sandwiches, and goatees are illegal unless you pay for a license to wear one. In the city of Marlboro, thankfully, it's illegal to detonate a nuclear device within city limits.

It is unlawful to dye or color a baby chick, duckling or rabbit and offer it for sale unless six or more are for sale at the same time.

...Just imagining the politician that made these laws ...

"But .. but.." *sobs* " what about my pink chick? " *sniffle* " I wanna pway wif a pink chick ".

"Sorry gov we're right out of pink chicks, we had enough dye for five you see"

"Thats it Im passing a new law! You'll rue the day you crossed me!"

Whoever made that rule must have been a member of the "Bath" party.

I know that was really bad, I apologize.

This just proves my theory that bathing (much like brushing your teeth) is a from of govenment mind control, used to conform the masses and integrate them into its collective ideology.

they can play rubba rubba...

"The provisions of this statute shall not apply to females weighing less than 90 pounds nor exceeding 200 pounds, nor shall it apply to female horses."

Phew, I'm safe then. I weigh just under 90 pounds.

You Have Met Miss Jones-

By any chance, is this what you are talking about?

I'm tired, does anyone have anything intelligent to say to keep me awake?

Your mama's so hairy, I got crabs from her moustache.

(Sorry, nothing intelligent to say here.)

I thought that was very insightfull.

Save Water: Shower with your family

Now if only they could make that apply to college students around the country... no, around the world.

Also, because it's needed:

"It's also illegal to put squirrels down your pants for the purposes of gambling."

Note to self: cancel plans to hypnotize unbathed Kentucky women, put them in bathing suits made out of magenta ducklings, and leave them on the highway with the carcasses of dead horses.

Was kentucky settled by immigrant Frenchmen at all?

A law honored more in the breach than in the observance as I understand it.

Another example of Big Brother and goverment intervening in our personal lives.

Duke sucks, but Kentucky reeks...

Now now people, after all, cleanliness is next to Godliness.

Iowa State Laws
- A man with a moustache may never kiss a woman in public.
- One-armed piano players must perform for free.
- Kisses may last for no more than five minutes.

So some stupid and dirty american asses need to be told to clean themselves.
The american brain surrenders.

Speaking of annual articles (which I guess we weren't)...

This is as funny as France Surrenders...

Can we bathe in this?:

Slow news days always bring this crap out of the archives. Journalists are lazy.

Dear Christ. I REALLY don't want to know why they felt this law had to be made.
