Hi Star Sisters!! ;-)

Here's Minnesota's weird laws:

The land of 10,000 lakes declares mosquitos a public nuisance.

It is illegal to stand around any building without a good reason to be there.

A person may not cross state lines with a duck atop his head.

It is illegal to sleep naked.

All men driving motorcycles must wear shirts.

Citizens may not enter Wisconsin with a chicken on their head.

Oral sex is prohibited.

All bathtubs must have feet.

What IS this "no fowl on the head" thing???

Mirandee, here's Michigan's:

Persons may not be drunk on trains.

It is illegal to kill a dog using a decompression chamber.

Adultery is illegal, but can only be punished upon a complaint by the affected husband or wife.

No man may seduce and corrupt an unmarried girl, or else he risks five years in prison.

The last Sunday in June of every year was named ?log cabin day?.

Cars may not be sold on Sunday.

A woman isn't allowed to cut her own hair without her husband's permission.

There is a 3 cent bounty for each starling and 10 cent bounty for each crow killed in any village, township, or city in the state.

It is legal for a robber to file a law suit, if he or she got hurt in your house.

You may not swear in front of women and children.

Any person over the age of 12 may have a license for a handgun as long as he/she has not been convicted of a felony.

LMAO, Zala. I guess in Minnesota they didn't want that guy who crossed the state line with a duck on his head to come back with a chicken.

Thanks for that site, Zala. I'm cracking up just reading some of those laws.

In West Virginia there is a law saying you can take road kill home for supper. YUK!!!! Maybe they can catch up with the guy in Minnesota coming and going across the border and have a good supper.

Ewwwww, nothing worse than sand in the pants, Star. I'm itching just looking at those pictures. LOL

lol, Solane. I did not even think about Sleeping Beauty. I wonder if they can read that book at school there. I was born in Colorado. I wonder if my dad kissed my mom when she was sleeping in Colorado?!?!?!?
