Going to jail

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.

Oregon:


In Myrtle Creek - One may not box with a kangaroo (???? there aren't any here...wait...who would?)

I couldn't find Kangaroos in Myrtle Creek however there are some wallabies in the wildlife safari nearby.
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.

I just found this about Ontario:
~In Ottawa, its illegal to eat icecream on Bank St. on a Sunday.
~In Toronto, you can't drag a dead horse down Yonge on a Sunday.
~ In Etobicoke bylaws states that no more than 3.5 inches of water is allowed in a bathtub.
~In Kanata the color of house and garage doors is regulated by city bylaws (a purple door get you a fine). It is also illegal to have a clothes line in your backyard.
~In London it is against city by-law to allow the grass in your front lawn to grow taller than 1-1/2 inches. If it does, the city will mow it for you, and fine you $200
~In Uxbridge residents are not allowed to have an Internet connection faster than 56k

In Louisiana:

Biting someone with your natural teeth is “simple assault,” while biting someone with your false teeth is “aggravated assault.

Also, it is illegal to gargle in public.

Those darn garglers....always messing things up.

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.

...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.

I've got a few english ones...........

It is illegal to be drunk on Licensed Premises (in a pub or bar).

In Liverpool, it is illegal for a woman to be topless in public except as a clerk in a tropical fish store.

In York, excluding Sundays, it is perfectly legal to shoot a Scotsman with a bow and arrow - not entirely sure you would get away with this one though!!!!!

I literally have tears running down my face....these are HILARIOUS!!!!

Living in Australia is SO boring hahaha....

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.

Here are a few more from various cities in Missouri:

Worrying squirrels will not be tolerated.
Installation of bathtubs with four legs resembling animal paws is prohibited.
It's illegal to sit on the curb of any city street and drink beer from a bucket.
No person may own a PVC pipe. (there goes the plumbing!)
One may not honk another's horn. (is that a euphamism?)
Minors are not allowed to purchase cap pistols, however they may buy shotguns freely. They also cannot buy lighters, but rolling papers and tobacco is okay.
Salesmen are not allowed to peddle goods while sitting in the middle of the road, screaming at vehicles passing by.
