[Ansteorra] Nuttiness closer to Home

[K&L]

This is a great website that has several state laws across the country that
are a little odd.  http://www.dumblaws.com/  Some of them are outdated, but
are usually noted that at one time they were standing laws.

For example, in my home town Borger, Texas.
* It is against the law to throw confetti, rubber balls, feather dusters,
whips or quirts (riding crop), and explosive firecrackers of any kind.
And One of my favorites, It is Illegal to go whale fishing in Nebraska.

So who got the ticket that would bring this knowledge to light? ;-)

Lete

PS. Eons ago, there were two boys in Abilene TX who found an ancient law
that you couldn't legally go through Abilene in an automobile (frightening
all the horses in town) without stopping at the outskirts of town to notify
the officials that you were going to drive a car through Abilene and needed
the required escort. They pulled the law out and asked for the escort. Got
it.

Rumor has it that the next day, the car that had had the escort got a
multitude of tickets for every infraction of the law that could be legally
mustered! Never did hear if the law was repealed.
