Dumb Laws

Here is a list of laws regarding Sunday that are still on the books in some US states and cities.

In Denver it is illegal to drive a black car on Sundays.
In Hartford Connecticut it is illegal to kiss your wife on Sunday.
In Oregon you may not eat ice cream on Sunday.
In Marion oregon ministers are forbidden from eating garlic or onions before delivering a sermon.
Providence Rhode Island forbids selling toothpaste and toothbrush to the same customer on Sunday.
Nicholas County WV does not allow a member of the clergy to tell jokes or humourous stories from the pulpit during a church service.
In Georgia no one can carry an ice cream cone in their back pocket if it is Sunday.
In Columbus Georgia you cannot carry a chicken by it's feet down Broadway on Sunday.
Florida has a special law that prohibits unmarried women from parachuting on Sunday.
In Idaho it is against the law to ride a merry-go-round on Suncays while Boston forbids the eating of peanuts in church and taking a bath on Sunday.
In Trenton NJ pickels are not to be consumed on Sundays.

And then there is this classic: In Ohio it is illegal to fish for whales on Sunday.

When the Law is looked upon as a list rather than a whole then people will come up with their own rules has to how to keep the Ten Commandments. Why don't we let the Word of God speak.
