Tuesday, February 05, 2013 11:15:44 AM If this law is successfully broken who will be left to enforce it? @Mr.Peabody: Bureaucrats, that's who! They're worse than roosterroaches! They can survive a nuclear blast because they're shielded by many layers of paperwork. They can also survive: Floods, Famine, Forest Fires, Fights... Fleas... |

Tuesday, February 05, 2013 10:34:12 AM The law against low-slung pants seems reasonable to me. I'd like to see one against amusing ties as well. And wearing a bullet-proof vest is surely just an indicator of premeditation. |

Tuesday, February 05, 2013 10:28:32 AM I think #1 from Chico is vigorously enforced If this law is successfully broken who will be left to enforce it? It's kind of like making suicide illegal. |

Tuesday, February 05, 2013 10:08:37 AM There are thousands of old, outdated laws like this all across the country and probably around the world. In Joliet, IL it is illegal to mispronounce the name of the town. |

Tuesday, February 05, 2013 10:01:32 AM Most of these are probably extremely old statutes that are currently unenforced. |
