Yes, it is Friday, and here are a few funk legal facts to start your weekend!
Toad licking banned
Did you know that in California, it is illegal to lick toads in order to get high as some people were getting injured by the toads’ poison. I have a question on this. The first person that ever licked a toad, exactly what was going through his head when he did it?
Beer making formula
Did you know that in Texas, the Encyclopaedia Britannica was banned as it gave people the formula for making beer! Err, I think they should also ban Google as I’m sure the formula for making all types of alcohol is on there too.
Children under 12 banned from phoning
Did you know that in Blue Earth, Minnesota, it is illegal for children under 12 years of age to speak on the telephone unless accompanied by one of their parents? But, what if they need to ring one of their parents who are both out of the house? Anyone thought of that one?
Illegal to marry the same man 4 times
Did you know that in Kentucky, it is against the law for a woman to remarry the same man four times. Why would anyone in their right mind marry the same person 4 times? It failed the first 3 times, will the 4th be any different?
Kill 6 blackbirds before you marry me
Did you know that In Truro, Mississippi, before a man can get married, he must prove himself worthy by killing either 3 cows or 6 blackbirds! I would go for the cows personally, easier targets:-) I wonder if you could haggle with 2 cows and 3 blackbirds?
Children need a licence to play games
Did you know that In Tennessee, it is illegal for children to play games on a Sunday without a valid license? Is this license only required for video games or do you need one to play Monopoly and eye spy as well? And who knows if you’re playing without a licence?
Soap stealers forced to use it
Did you know that in Mohave County, Arizona, if you are caught stealing soap from a shop, you must wash yourself with it until the soap has gone! A quick word of advice. If you are going to steel soap, make sure it’s the liquid type, it’s easier to use and you will definitely make a clean getaway afterwards:-)
Get dressed or die
Did you know that in St. Louis, Missouri, it is illegal for a fireman to rescue a woman wearing only a nightgown? In order for her to be rescued, she must be fully clothed! Does that included jewellery, nice matching shoes and handbag? Really!
