These quote were taken from "Laugh in the Law Hee-Haw published in 1939.   I happen to have these old clippings.

1.According to an old statute in Virginia the third failure to attend church on Sunday was punishable by death.  A bit harsh :)

 

2.  A Massachusetts ordinance required that all dogs should have their hind legs tied during the month of April.  Why :)

 

3.  In Boston it was illegal to keep a dog more than 10 inches in height.

 

4 In Ohio it was unlawful to ride a jackass at the rate of more than 6 miles an hour.  Was the jackass consulted :)

 

I laughed, I hope you will too.

Malinda it is hard to imagine these were actual laws.  Glad you had a laugh.

Gary these were funny.

Tim thank you.

Roy Thank you.

Mitchell we appreciate the humor but so glad these are not enforceable now.

 

I wish you all success with your business, and personal lives in 2012.

Lisa I thought they were worth sharing:)

Lainie so many dogs would not qualify as pets

George I am going send you back to 1939 and I know you won't be happy with some of the other laws :)

I hope you will all have a successful 2012 and the real markets will improve.

Jennifer - There are still some ridiculous ordinances on the books that no one has bothered to remove, they jusr get ignored.  I'm sure no one died in Virginia for failing to attend church.  Some ordinances are so stupid no one will enforce them.  Hope you have a very happy and successful 2012.

Ditto on living in Bean Town with a Saint Bernard, that's more like a small pony. Roy's tree dresses up the place .. Good old Roy.
