Good Morning Speakies:
Hoping you all had a pleasant evening and ready bright eyed and bushy tailed for a new day. Today I’m poking fun at the Dumb Laws in West Virginia, so let’s see what’s on the books.
It is illegal to snooze on a train. – The best place to snooze.
Unmarried couples who live together and “lewdly associate” with one another may face up to a year in prison. – Tough choice to make.
If you wear a hat inside a theater, you may be fined. - JoeyZ would like to fine everyone who wears a baseball cap in a restaurant, hang them on the hook or leave them in the car.
Road kill may be taken home for supper. – The thought just makes one want to barf.
One may not walk a lion, tiger or leopard, even on a leash. I did not know these animals were indigenous to the folks of West Virginia.
Firemen may not whistle or flirt at any woman passing a firehouse.
Back to the subject of road kill, when I worked as a litigation examiner one of our defense lawyers told us a true story about road kill. His son was a student at some southern university, and when they had parties they created a drink called road kill punch. A group of guys would go out with a large wash tub and find road kill. Upon returning the road kill tub would be filled with water and frozen, it would than be placed in another larger tub filled with a concoction of various alcohol beverages. The idea was to drink the punch before the road kill ice melted into the liquor. NO THANKS. Have a great day guys and dolls.

Actually, Joe .. I took a tour of the old Riverview Cemetary with Charlie Webster, the former Trentonian reporter and historian for the Trenton City Museum.
The the law that forbid a picnic in a cemetery was not always on the books and Charlie indicated that they used to charge a few cents for folks to come in on the weekends and bring the kids and lunch and enjoy the greensward. I guess we have to picture living in a run down part of town with little to do unlike today with the car and parks and such. It was our generation that made the cemetery a place of the creepy and crawly ..
Thanks Skipper thats an interesting story. Cemetarys were a spooky place when we were kids. Thanks for the comments, keep them coming and thanks for reading.
