Have a good laugh  HeeHaw

I do hope you will have a good laugh after reading these State Codes and Town Statutes.  These came from the 1932  Sunday Mirror

Pennsylvania has a law prohibiting singing in the bathtub

Winchester, Mass - A young girl may not be employed to dance on a tight rope - except in a church

Ball game players in Portsmouth Ohio, were included with vagrants, beggars,thieves and other suspicious characters and would be subject to fines or imprisonment or both

In Corvallis Oregon young girls were prohibited from drinking coffee at evening meal except on Friday and Saturday

Traveling more than 20 miles to church was illegal in NY

Traveling anywhere in Massachusetts on Sunday was illegal except for charity.

Jennifer ~  What a great day to end the week.  This one is my personal favorite Pennsylvania has a law prohibiting singing in the bathtub  -- I guess I am ok because I only sing in the shower.  LOL  Where did you find these.. Soo funny..  Just what I needed!  Hope you have a great weekend and that you have many of joyful moments.

Funny, Jennifer - I wonder what the deal was with young girls and coffee in the evening..too much caffeine keeping the kids awake, perhaps? :-)

Jennifer-these are classic, I think they should resurrect " bad" singing in the bathtub law.
