Time Out for some Fun At Politicians Expense

Now it is time to take a break from the norm here. I was browsing through the news sites like i normally do to see if there was a topic that caught my attention as a topic to write on here. And i came across one that made me say to my self, lets have a good laugh today. Hey its Friday, everyone needs a good laugh especially on a Friday. So Here Goes

Sexually Related Laws from the Annals of Political Stupidity:

— If you’re in Idaho, you’re not allowed to engage in any type of public display of affection for more than 18 minutes.

— In Iowa, you've got a five-minute time limit to make out. But that’s an eternity when you consider that it’s illegal to smooch for more than one second if you’re in Halethorpe, Md.

— An ancient law in Alabama bans men from attempting to seduce "a chaste woman by means of temptation, arts, deception, flattery or a promise of marriage."

— Connecticut has a law forbidding any "private sexual behavior between consenting adults." We have to give them credit, though, for at least making this law pretty clear. An old Florida statute states that two people cannot commit "unusual acts" together, but there’s no specification as to what that means!

— An old law in California made it illegal for either partner to reach climax before the other during foreplay. ( I don't think i would want to be the Cop to witness this crime in progress)

— Florida once made it illegal to have sexual relations with a porcupine. (How did this become a law, really?)

— You can’t marry the same man three times in some Kentucky townships. (If you marry the same person 3 times, you are A) a glutton for punishment, B) Out of Your Freaking Mind, or C) Need to be locked up)

— It is illegal for men in Minnesota to have intimate sexual relationships with a live fish. ( I am not even going there!)

— If you’re a member of the Nevada legislature, you cannot conduct business, while in session, wearing a penis costume. (Ok, How Did This even get thought of to be a law. Did it actually happen?)

— In North Carolina, it’s an offense to have sex in a graveyard. ( What are the perpetrators trying to do, have the spawn of Satan!)

— Women in Dyersburg, Tenn., cannot call a man for a date.

— If their car is in motion, male drivers in Detroit are banned from "ogling" women.

— It is illegal to serenade your girlfriend in Kalamazoo, Mich. ( This one actually makes Sense after the way some people sing!)

— In Oblong, Ill., it’s illegal to have sex on your wedding day if you’re fishing or hunting. (If you wait until the day after, is it legal then.)

— A man in Ames, Iowa, cannot take more than three swallows of beer while holding his wife in his arms in bed. (What i can't have a beer bong while benchpressing my wife in bed, those bastards!)

— Alexandria, Ariz., once banned husbands from having sex with their wives if their breath smelled of sardines, garlic or onion. (Funny enough, all of those have been considered aphrodisiacs at one time or another!)

— Husbands in Willowdale, Ore., can be fined for talking dirty during intercourse, but their wives can say whatever they please. (Once again, i don't want to be the one enforcing this one)

— An old statute in Florida banned a man from kissing his wife’s breasts.

— A man cannot seduce a woman by promising to marry her in Mississippi. ( I bet its also illegal to hit a woman over the head with a club and drag her back to your cave)

— While up to 120 men can live together in Pennsylvania, it is illegal for more than 16 women to do so, since this could constitute a brothel. ( What about the prisons in the state? I'm sure they house alot more than that at one time)

— It is illegal in Utah to marry your first cousin before the age of 65.

— In Nebraska, couples sleeping at a hotel must wear the clean, cotton nightshirt provided by the hotel, even when they have sex.

— Florida has a statute making it an offense to shower in the nude. ( Taking into account the way some people smell here, i bet they abide by that statute here in SC)

— Women in New York cannot be seen wearing "body hugging clothing." (Doesn't that narrow it down to just about all of them then)

— An old Mississippi edict holds that men cannot become sexually aroused in public. (Get them off of the Viagra then)

— If you’re unmarried in North Carolina and you and your lover register yourselves as a "Mr. and Mrs." when checking into a motel, then you’re legally considered husband and wife.

— In Oklahoma, if you’re arrested for soliciting a prostitute, your name and picture will be shown on TV.

— Sex with an animal is perfectly legal for men in Washington state, as long as the animal weighs less than 40 pounds. (Another one for the "What The Hell Were They Thinking" File)

— It is illegal for a man to fire his gun in Connersville, Wis., when his lover reaches climax. ( Do What!)

— Having sex in a walk-in meat freezer is banned in Newcastle, Wyo. ( That sounds like a Cool experience.... Uh.... Um.... Thats was just wrong)

— The Arizona State Supreme Court considered it perfectly all right for women to go topless in public, since breasts weren’t deemed private parts. ( I don't think they are considered to be Public Parts)

— You can streak in Louisiana as long as you can prove to a court beyond a doubt that you had no "lascivious intent." ( I would say it would be more self-humiliating intent than Lascivious Intent)

— Couples in Carlsbad, N.M., can have sex in their parked car during their lunch break, as long as the curtains are drawn. (Where exactly do you hang the Curtain Rods? Are they talking about a Car or an RV?)

— Women in New York can go topless in public, unless it is for "business" reasons.


Now one of the first things i think of is What made these laws even a thought in a Politicians mind. The second is I wonder how much taxpayer money was wasted in the the introduction and passage of each of these laws.

Unbelievable!

Viva Liberty!
