MORE DUMB LAWS, IOWA STYLE

Good Morning Guys and Dolls:

Well Hump Day is upon us and I wish all of you a pleasant day at home or work. No really interesting holidays to mention today, so let’s pick on Dumb Laws, this time in that great corn state of Iowa.

It is a violation of the law to sell drugs or narcotics without having first obtained the appropriate Iowa drug tax stamp. – It’s the great American way to do things.

A man with a moustache may never kiss a woman in public. – Can he goose her in public?

One-armed piano players must perform for free. – That’s one law you guys in Iowa have to change.

Kisses may last for no longer than five minutes. – They should not even last that long take it elsewhere kiddies.

Ministers must obtain a permit to carry their liquor across state lines. – Can’t let those ministers get everything on the slide.

Now here are some dumb city laws, the names are not mentioned to protect the population from embarrassment:

It is illegal to read palms in the city limits. – Crystal balls are okay.

The fire department is required to practice fire fighting for fifteen minutes before attending a fire. – I wouldn’t like to live in Fort Madison, OOPS.

The ICE CREAM man and his truck are banned. – Sorry little tykes in Indianola, OPPS.

Horses are forbidden to eat fire hydrants. – I have no comment on that one.

Within the city limits of Ottumwa, OOPS, a man may not wink at any woman he does not know.

Well Speakies there you go with some dumb law knowledge, no offense Iowa, strictly just some fun. Have a great day and be careful out there.
