Ok,I can understand not giving beer to moose because they can really bust up a keg party,but fish? (unless, it's a moose that drinks like a fish!). ROFL

The really weird ones like the moose exist only because it is more expensive to repeal them than keep them, so they are just ignored. In Oregon, laws still exist that say you can't use canned corn as fishing bait, talk dirty during sex, or box a kangaroo.. Drink From Flask

Oregon is fucked! But then again, so is Taxachusetts.....we totally suck, just less than everyone else...

The corn thing is baffling, seriously, no corn for bait?....WTF ...I use worms, they work well.

As for talking dirty, I kind of like hearing my woman say she wants my **** stuffed in her ***, and then **** off her face.....it's hot.

And who the hell would want to box a friggen kangaroo...that's like wresting a bear; probably won't do so well.... Drink Beer Bottle

Alright, you guys have some pretty weird ones too.. Check these Mass. laws out..

It is against the law to put tomatos in clam chowder

At a wake, mourners may eat no more than three sandwiches.

It is illegal to go to bed without first having a full bath.

No gorilla is allowed in the back seat of any car.

Tattooing and body piercing is illegal.

Bullets may not be used as currency.

Quakers and witches are banned.

I never claimed we were normal...but here's my take on those...

1.) You can't screw with the clam chowdah. It is what it is, and that's damn good enough without tomatoes. Crackers are ok though...

2.) This is stupid. Who the hell eats a sandwich at a wake?

3.) Do you like to go to bed dirty? Okay, I would guess this stems from the Puritan bastards that once roamed this area...

4.) Again, who the hell would wanta gorilla in their back seat?...Stupid.

5.) No longer illegal. It's been ok for a couple years now. In fact, the Boston Tattoo Convention is coming up soon....

6.) This is not the wild west. This makes no sense; unless you're in Dorchester or Roxbury.

7.) Not in Salem. Plenty of witches there....screw quakers.

Okay, we're fucked too..... Drink Beer Bottle

Thats some crazy laws. Our state laws are not bad here,but the local law and the people that think they know whats best for you,have a tendency to make up their own laws and in force them on you.
