    That's awesome.

     

    It's like all the old laws that aren't enforced anymore. I heard once that in TN I think there is a law where a man must sit on the hood of a car and shoot into the air to warn others that a woman driver is behind the wheel...don't know how much truth there is to that one, but it's funny.

     

     

    Edit, I did find this one online (maybe this is what the person who told me above was referring to):

     

    In Tennessee a man must walk in front of any car driven by a woman while waving a red flag as a warning.

     

     

    On another note:

     

    In Texas, it's illegal to put graffiti on someone else's cow.<--I wonder if he's aware of this

    Allegedly!

     

    1)In Oxford, Ohio, it is unlawful for a woman to appear in public while unshaven.This includes legs and face.

     

    2)In Los Angeles, you cannot bathe two babies in the same tub at the same time.

    When I was a reporter, years ago, I used to do the odd newspaper story on weird laws, when I could get a friendly municipal clerk who would relate them to me. One that was on the books in Dunnville, Ontario at one time said that every house in the town had to have a ladder on the roof at all times (a fire prevention step).

     

    In a less humorous vein, when I was a child there was a law in my home town (which will not be named) that a black person was not allowed to spend the night in the local hotel. The story was that this was instituted after a rape (guess who got blamed), but I have my doubts ... more likely pure racism. I bought a house about 10 miles from that town in 199? and my deed said that I was not allowed to sell the house to blacks, gypsies, catholics, jews, indians, etc., etc. My lawyer noted that this clause, written in the early 60s, was no longer valid. Well, duh.

    One day, in line at the company cafeteria, Bob says to Mike behind him,
    'My elbow hurts like the dickens!! I guess I'd better see a doctor.

    Listen, you don't have to spend that kind of money,' Mike replies.

    'There's a diagnostic computer down at Wal-Mart. Just give it a urine sample and the computer will tell you what's wrong and what to do about it.  It takes ten seconds and costs $10. That's a lot cheaper than a doctor.'

    So, Bob deposits a urine sample in a small jar and takes it to Wal-Mart.  He deposits $10, and the computer lights up and asks for the urine sample.
    He pours the sample into the slot and waits. 10 seconds later, the computer
    ejects a printout: 'You have tennis elbow. Soak your arm in warm water and
    Epsom salts found on aisle 2.  Avoid heavy activity. It will improve in 2 weeks. Thank you for shopping Wal-Mart.'

    That evening, while thinking how amazing this new technology was, Bob began
    wondering if the computer could be fooled. He mixed some tap water, a stool
    sample from his dog, urine samples from his wife and daughter, and a sperm sample for good measure.

    Bob hurries back to Wal-Mart, eager to check the results. H e deposits $10,
    pours in his concoction, and awaits the results.

    The computer prints the following:

    1. Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener. (Aisle 9)

    2. Your dog has ringworm. Bathe him with anti-fungal shampoo. (Aisle 7)

    3. Your daughter has a cocaine habit. Get her into rehab.

    4. Your wife is pregnant. "Twins". They aren't yours. Get a lawyer...

    5. If you don't stop playing with yourself, your elbow will never get better!

    Thank you for shopping @ Wal-Mart

    A man is at work one day when he notices that his co-worker is wearing an ear ring. This man knows his co-worker to be a normally conservative fellow, and is curious about his sudden change in "fashion sense."

     

    The man walks up to him and says, "I didn't know you were into earrings."

     

    "Don't make such a big deal, it's only an earring," he replies sheepishly.

     

    His friend falls silent for a few minutes, but then his curiosity prods him to say, "So, how long have you been wearing one?"

     

    "Ever since my wife found it in my truck."

    Until now I never fully understood how to tell The difference  Between Male and Female Birds. I always thought it had to be determined  surgically. Until Now.

    It can be  done.

    May 14 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama, calling current deficit spending “unsustainable,” warned of skyrocketing interest rates for consumers if the U.S. continues to finance government by borrowing from other countries.

    Why Parents  Drink

     

    A father  passing by his son's bedroom was astonished to see that his bed was nicely made  and everything was picked up. Then he saw an

    Envelope,  propped up prominently on the pillow that was addressed to  'Dad.' With the  worst premonition he opened the envelope

    with  trembling hands and read the letter.

     

     

    Dear  Dad:

     

    It is with  great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope with my new  girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mom and  you.

     

    I have been  finding real passion with Stacy and she is so nice.But I knew  you would not approve of her because of all her piercing, tattoos, tight  motorcycle clothes and the fact that she is much older than I am. But it' s not  only the passion....Dad she's pregnant. Stacy said  that we will be very happy..

     

    She owns a  trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. We share  a dream of having many more children.

    Stacy has  opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn't really hurt  anyone.We'll be  growing it for ourselves and trading it with the other people that live nearby  for cocaine and ecstasy. In the  meantime we will pray that science will find a cure for AIDS  so Stacy can  get better. She deserves it.

     

    Don't worry  Dad. I'm 15 and I know how to take care of myself.Someday I'm  sure that we will be back to visit so that you can

    get to know  your grandchildren.

     

     

    Love, Your  Son John

     

     

     

    PS. Dad,  none of the above is true. I'm over at Tommy's house. I Just  wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than a Report card  That's in my center desk drawer.

     

     

    I love  you.

     

    Call me when  it's safe to come home.

    An old Italian lived alone in New Jersey. He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, as the ground was hard.  His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:

     

    Dear Vincent,
    I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won't be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over.. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.
    Love, Papa

     

    A few days later he received a letter from his son.

     

    Dear Pop,
    Don't dig up that garden. That's where the bodies are buried.
    Love, Vinnie

     


    At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies.
    They apologized to the old man and left.

     

    That same day the old man received another letter from his son.

     

    Dear Pop,
    Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That's the best I could do under the circumstances.
    Love you, Vinnie.

     

     

    Iechyd da! John

    An elderly couple, Margaret and Bert, moved to Texas

    Bert always wanted a pair of authentic cowboy boots, so, seeing some on sale, he bought them and wore them home. 

    Walking proudly, he sauntered into the kitchen and said to his wife, 'Notice anything different about me?'      

    Margaret looked him over... 'Nope.'

    Frustrated, Bert stormed off into the bathroom, undressed and walked back into the kitchen naked, except for the boots.

    Again he asked Margaret, a little louder this time, 'Notice anything different NOW?'

     

    Margaret looked up and exclaimed, 'Bert, nothings different! It's hanging down today,it was hanging down yesterday, it'll be hanging down tomorrow!'

    Furious, Bert yelled, '...AND DO YOU KNOW WHY IT'S HANGING DOWN, MARGARET?

     

    'Nope,' she replied.

     

    '...IT'S HANGING DOWN,  BECAUSE IT'S LOOKING AT MY NEW BOOTS!

     

    Without changing her expression, Margaret replied,

     

    'Shoulda bought a hat, Bert.

    If a dog was the teacher you would learn stuff like:

     

    When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.

     

    Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.

     

    Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.

     

    When it's in your best interest, practice obedience.

     

    Let others know when they've invaded your territory.

     

    Take naps.

     

    Stretch before rising.

     

    Run, romp, and play daily.

     

    Thrive on attention and let people touch you.

     

    Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.

     

    On warm days, stop to lie on your back in the grass.

     

    On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.

     

    When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.

     

    No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout .. Run right back and make friends.

     

    Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.

     

    Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you have had enough.

     

    Be loyal. Never pretend to be something you're not.

     

    If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.

     

    When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.

     

    And most importantly,

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Never trust anyone until you have sniffed their butt.

    A TRIP TO COSTCO
     
     
    Yesterday I was at my local COSTCO buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for my
    loyal pet, Biscuit, the Wonder Dog and was in the checkout
    line when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog.
     
    What did she think I had, an elephant? So since I'm retired and have little
    to do, on impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a
    dog, I was starting the Purina Diet again. I added that I
    probably shouldn't, because I ended up in the hospital
    last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened
    in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of
    my orifices and IVs in both arms.
     
    I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it
    works is to load your pants pockets with Purina nuggets and
    simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food
    is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was going
    to try it again.. (I have to mention here that practically
    everyone in line was now enthralled with my story.)
    Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because
    the dog food poisoned me. I told her no, I stepped off a
    curb to sniff an Irish Setter's *** and a car hit us

    both.

     

    Costco won't let me shop there any more......
