Legislative Satire

Before I say anything I would like to take the time to apologize to my readers for being late in bringing out this article. The main excuse is that when we began to dig for silly municipal, state federal laws, we were lost in an ocean of silly laws. Let us take a few minutes and see what the legislative geniuses of Alabama have to say. Here is one: incestuous marriage are legal, but you better not sell peanuts in Lee County after sundown on Wednesdays, or driving a car while blindfolded, or open an umbrella in the public street or wear a mask in public streets or you may not have an ice cream cone in your back pocket, these are some of the laws that clearly tells the intelligence of the law makers.

Let us go up for a little bit. Here we are; Illinois is good stay and check out Obama’s hometown, Chicago. For the life of me, I don’t know why he refers Chicago as his hometown. He was born in Hawaii, lived the first ten years of his life in Jakarta Indonesia. He didn’t come to Chicago until he was over twenty five year sold.

Let us see what Champaign the city of the University of Illinois has to offer.

One may not pee in his neighbor’s mouth.  They either have a lot of pissers there or they mean something else. I think they are talking about oral sex. They must have picked that up from the Ten Commandments, Thou will love thy neighbor: and to me any sexual act is accompanied by love. Bill Clinton disputed that but he eventually came to his senses and accepted oral sex as a real sex act. You see, those laws are not as silly and as dumb as they seem. In fact they are very smart. They say one thing and they mean another. If that law about peeing in the neighbor’s mouth were written according to its meaning, the city would have a mini revolution by the thousands by the university students.

The other is; it is forbidden eating in a place that is on fire. Can anyone imagine 100 hobos roasting hot dogs and marshmallows while the firemen are battling the flames and the hobos add more wood to finish their roasting process? All the legislators are politicians and we all know politicians never say what they mean and they don’t mean what they say. They all know how to cover their ass.

I will go on and give you some of those silly laws and see if you can figure out their meaning.
