A Good Tuesday Morning Speakies:
Glad to see you all are wide awake and ready to go, so grab that cup of coffee and start to read. There were no significant holidays to get excited about today but a very special potion was developed this date. The “HARVEY WALLBANGER”, was reported to be invented this date in 1952 by a world champion mixologist Duke Antone. Legend has it was named after a Manhattan Beach surfer who was a regular at Duke’s Blackwatch Bar on Sunset Strip. The Wallbanger is a cocktail made with vodka, Galliano and orange juice. There you have a little cocktail history.

I think we all can use a few chuckles today so here are some more of Joey Z’s Dumb State Laws:
Alaska – In Fairbanks, it is illegal to feed alcoholic beverages to a moose.

Arizona – In Tucson, it is illegal for women to wear pants. – I’m for that.
California – Women may not drive wearing a house coat.
Idaho – You may not fish on a camel’s back. – That idea never crossed my mind.
Indiana – Monkeys are forbidden to smoke cigarettes in South Bend.
Kansas – Prohibits shooting rabbits from a motorboat. – Okay.
Louisiana – It is illegal to rob a bank and then shoot the teller with a water pistol.
Minnesota – It is illegal to tease skunks. – I think that’s a pretty safe law.
Ohio – It is illegal to fish for whales on Sunday. – The only whale you are going to find in Ohio is if it fell off a truck on the interstate.
Texas – It is illegal to shoot a buffalo from the second story of a hotel.
There you go Guys and Dolls some laws to ponder about. Have a great day.

Hi Joe:)
The folks at the Trenton High science department 1977-1980 were fantastic. They would do science related things with the students aside from class studies at times.
I remember them dissecting a skunk out on the balcony one day. A few friends were out there with them and a few were inside with me. Someone accidently cut the skunk odor thingy (my official Trenton term for it) and folks went "Oh Gosh!" or words to that effect..
They all headed to the windows to get back in the classroom. We of course tried to CLOSE windows to make it harder for them to get in, which isnt nice at all but it was very funny. God Bless Ole Trenton High:))
