Someone should make a reality show about a group that goes to each place and does these things. And believe me with US SOUTHERNERS (#10) fightin' words are serious.
LOL, Sarajane - the "fighting words" one actually makes me laugh outloud everytime I read it... I live in NC myself, so I can just see it happening, hehe.
It just makes me laugh to think of how these laws actually got into the books, haha. WTH is up with #22?? I had to reread it thinking it was a Wisconsin law (I was born in Wisconsin, and that one seems kinda odd, even to me!!).
There were actually a ton of other stupid laws listed, I just picked out the funniest ones, lol. Sorry that all states are represented... some of the stupid laws just weren't as hilarious!
A dad walks into a market with his young son. The kid is holding a
quarter. Suddenly, the boy starts choking, going blue in the face.
The dad realizes the boy has swallowed the quarter and starts panicking.
A well dressed, attractive, but serious looking woman in a blue business suit is sitting at a coffee bar in the market reading her newspaper and sipping a cup of coffee. At the sound of the commotion, she looks up, puts her coffee cup down on the saucer, neatly folds her newspaper and places it on the counter. Then she gets up from her seat and makes her way, unhurried, across the market.
Reaching the boy, the woman carefully takes hold of the boy's testicles and starts to squeeze, gently at first and then over more firmly. After a few seconds the boy convulses violently and coughs up the quarter, which the woman deftly catches in her free hand. Releasing the boy, the woman hands the coin to the father and walks back to her seat in the coffee bar without saying a word.
As soon as he is sure that his son has suffered no lasting ill effects, the father rushes over to the woman and starts thanking her saying, "I've never seen anybody do anything like that before. It was fantastic. Are you a doctor? " "No," she says. "Divorce attorney."

I read through these jokes and had a great laugh! I passed the candian ones along to a doctor I work with. She and her husband are from Canada, and collect Canadian jokes! Fortunately, she thought they were a scream. Thanks for the entertainment!
