I like this one from Texas also, it made me laugh when it made Yahoo news awhile back.

A recently passed anticrime law requires criminals to give their victims 24 hours notice, either orally or in writing, and to explain the nature of the crime to be committed.

Yup, as I said, it was posted on Yahoo news awhile back, probably a few months ago. I don't know the # of it but I remember reading it and laughing myself silly that it was passed.

I guess it was April the First. At least sounds like it.

More stupid laws.

Ancorhead, Alaska: Moose may not have sex inside the city limits! (Who's gonna tell them that, and what actually is the penalty)

London: You cannot have sex on a motorcycle when it's parked! (Is it legal when you are driving it??)

Minnisota: You can't put women's and men's underwear on the same washing line. (Man, that's almost like having sex in public)

"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you do say can be used against you in the courts of law..."
"Mmmmmmmmmm."
"That's going on your record, sonny! Now... Dave, how do you 'cuff a moose again?"

I need to buy a motorcycle.
