Now That's a Dumb Rule! - John A Halford - December 1981

John A Halford

Why are there "dumb rules" and what should you do about them? Did you know that you are not allowed to whistle underwater in Vermont ? Or that if you happen to live in McDonald, Ohio, you should not march your goose down the main street? It's against the law. It is also illegal to lasso a fish in Tennessee. You must not use a motorboat on the streets of Brewton, Ala. And while we are on the subject, in Elko, Nev., you can't even appear on the streets at all unless you are wearing a mask. Believe it or not, these are real laws - and still in force. Of course, nobody takes them too seriously any more. They were made long ago, but they have never been cleared off the books. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
