Going to jail
Replies

For those who were talking about think that this was a post from a person in jail wanting to lose weight......I work at a jail. Our meals are designed around 1800 calories a day, with alot of that being carbs. That being said, it's also not the most appetizing food, which meals alot of people eat Commissary, which is also full of carbs. Plus, if you eat the meals, plus your Commissary, you can easily net 2500 or more calories a day. It takes alot of commitment for people to lose in a place like this. There's a few, though, that I've run into that do try. And I encourage them to as much as I can.0

Oregon:
In Myrtle Creek - One may not box with a kangaroo (???? there aren't any here...wait...who would?)
They call them "wallaroos", oh yeah.
The big red kangaroo is more likely to box, but he does kick boxing and you really don't want to try that.
Leave the little wallabies alone, they don't hurt anyone.0 -
Not sure how true this is but, in South Carolina it is illegal not to take your rifle with you to church on Sunday.0

~In Uxbridge residents are not allowed to have an Internet connection faster than 56k0 -

Some of these are a case of Politicians being to lazy to repeal the old laws.

In Ohio, it's supposedly against the laws to fish for whales on a Sunday....like we're ANYWHERE near the ocean.
Not being permitted to get fish drunk, I can understand: there's a lot of partying around Lake Erie and I'm sure the cops have their hands full with intoxicated humans, much less the fish as well.0 -
In Indiana it is officially against the law to have oral sex or commit sodomy.0

...I thought this was going to be a thread about being arrested. I'm rather disappointed to find yet another frivolous, silly thread about silly information. I know talking about going to jail is a major downer, but it's very cathartic to find others who have experienced something similar. Just my $.02.0

Nothing but Food, Pharmecutical items, and Toiletries can be sold in Bergen County, NJ on Sundays. (No clothing, no furniture, no home decor, nothing)
^Any stores that sell clothing mixed with other items (like Target, Walmart, etc.) MUST have the illegal sections blocked off every sunday, or close down for the day.
They call it "the blue laws" and it is a really, really, really old law that nobody wants to get rid of.
This must be where Texas got the ideas for stupid blue laws. Growing up in the late 70's, you couldn't buy pantyhose on Sundays. Malls were closed on Sundays.
Car dealerships have to be closed one day a week.
You can't buy liquor (excluding beer/wine) after 9 p.m. or on Sundays. Beer & wine can't be sold before noon on Sunday.0 -
