Wacky Ways of Washington

Helllloooo people!
Today, is Thursday, my day. How cool is that? Since today is a theme week, I will be posting about the strange and wacky laws of Washington!
In WASHINGTON...
1. All lollipops are banned.
2.When two trains come to a crossing, neither shall go until the other has passed. (Does that make sense?)
3. It is mandatory for a motorist with criminal intentions to stop at the city limits and telephone the chief of police as he is entering the town (Which basically means, if you're about to commit a crime, please call the police before coming into the area. This was meant to curb the loads of criminal acts commited...Obviously, it didn't work)
4. It is illegal to pretend that one's parents are rich. 
5. Women who sit on men's laps on buses or trains without placing a pillow between them face an automatic six-month jail term. 
6. You may not ride an ugly horse.
7.It is illegal to attach a vending machine to a utility pole without prior consent from the utility company.
8.  All motor vehicles must be preceded by a man carrying a red flag (daytime) or a red lantern (nighttime) fifty feet in front of said vehicle.
 9. All "motor vehicles" to carry an anchor to be used as the emergency brake.
10. A man may be looking at five years of jail time for "deflowering" a virgin. This is against the law regardless of the woman's age or marital status.

Ah, the stupidity of law makers! Who's to argue about the laws though? Anyways, this is my rather short post, and please remember, if you're gonna murder someone in Washington, please contact the local police and inform them of the details. I do believe the number is 911 in the United States! :)

  1. Heehee. I liked the "please call the police before committing a crime" law, and I also liked the paradoxical train-stopping law. XD
    Awww, today's was such a short post! Did you put in the "read more" thing because it was cool? Since there really wasn't that much more to read.

  4. @xiy, yeah. I didn't notice that the page break thing was like that! It was cool...
    @Last night, after a lovely dinner with a nice chardony, your mum- I chose it cuz I liked the state.
    @strange and weird name person-uhm, well it says, "regardless of the woman's age or marital status," though, technically, in the full text of the law, it's, regardless of the "...man's marital status or age..."So, yeah. Even if the guy's married to the woman.
