More Crazy Law #41 ~ Mystery Question

Patricia Bradley Mystery Question 42 Comments

More Crazy Law #41 is this week’s Mystery Question…I am still so amazed there are enough crazy laws on the books to keep this series going!

But first the photo and verse. The photo is another sunrise. I caught the sun just between the trees early one morning. I love both sunsets and sunrises, but while a sunset is beautiful, a sunrise is the promise of a new day. And there is something special about that. The verse is because lately life has been throwing me a few curves and I need to be reminded that God tells me not to fear. He is always with me. And He’s always with you, too.

Now for last week’s Crazy State Laws #40. Three true laws and one made-up one. Can you guess which one?
  1. It’s illegal to wear sunglasses at night in this state.
  2. You can’t drive down the highway with an uncaged bear in your car in this state. (MO)
  3. Here you can’t order a slice of cherry pie a la mode on Sunday. (KS)
  4. Be sure to keep your dog’s obedience training under wraps in this state. It’s against the law to educate dogs in there. (CT)

And the answer is…#1…Congrats to all who guessed correctly! (I still have trouble believing #2…)

Now for this week’s Crazy State Laws #40. Three true laws and one made-up one. Can you guess which one?
  1. Picture this. You’re in your swimsuit, it’s a beautiful day, and you start singing. Did you know you could be arrested if you do that in this state?
  2. Here it was thought that the citric acid in an orange could react with the natural oils in the bath and cause an explosion, so of course there’s a law against eating an orange while in the bathtub.
  3. It’s 80°, the sun is shining, and your picnic is spread out on your blanket when a line of ants marches toward you. Better not kill them in this state.
  4. Guess what? It’s illegal here to bite your landlord.

Okay Super Sleuths, which one did I make up? Leave your answers in the comments and I’ll enter you in a drawing for a book from my library!

Are you looking for that perfect romantic suspense beach read?

    I love sunrises, too. Beautiful photo, and I love the verse you chose to go with it. So encouraging.

    Now to the very sensible laws 🙂
    #1. That’s never happened to me.
    #2. But, who’s checking? Does this apply to drinking orange juice, too?
    #3. Yeah. I’ll just set an extra place for the ants.
    #4. I wouldn’t, but can I delegate to my dog? Or, maybe just send in the ants.
    #4 might at least be enforceable. I think this week’s set of dumb laws has completely stumped me. I’m going to get breakfast. Just for grins, I’ll say you made up #3. Who wouldn’t want to kill ants at a picnic? Just don’t shoot them. That might be frowned upon.

      How about three in a row for #2 ? That one just seems too wild, and for a whole state to feel way? Surely it couldn’t be worse than vinegar and baking soda!

    Oh my goodness, these are hysterical and I could visualize each of them.
    I hope you made up #4. Nobody deserves to be bitten, unless they’re trying to kidnap or kill you. If so, bite away!

    Joshua 1:9 is a fabulous promise from God. Stand firm and cling to it and all his promises!

    I have to admit, I did start singing Morning has broken as I looked at the photo

    The only time I don’t like a sunrise is when I’m driving toward it and it’s blinding me. However, that is a beautiful shot you got. Great matching verse.

    Let’s see if I can sort this out.
    #1. I don’t need to concern myself with this one since I don’t wear a swimsuit. It’s always jeans, long shirt, socks, shoes, and a cap for me.
    #2. This should have been a simple one for the lawmakers, but they somehow frequently make things too complicated. They should have simply gone outside and dropped an orange into a tankful of water and bath oil to test the theory.
    #3. Let me guess. This surely must be a law in CT. Every time I choose one about an animal being made up, it seems it’s always a law in CT.
    #4. I wonder if it’s okay to bite the police officer who comes to arrest you for biting the landlord.
    I choose #4. It’s the only one that isn’t totally loony. I can’t say I understand why landlords would be singled out, since no one deserves to be bitten unless you’re trying to defend yourself from bodily harm.

      Oh, Edward, I’m not sure which comment amuses me more–yours or Tim’s. We’ll see how it works out next week, although you came up with a different answer from Tim…

        Pat, I started to type: “What Tim said.” Then I changed my mind. Honestly, it seems that every time I choose a different one from what he chose, he gets the right one. I don’t know his approach to choosing one. I try to reason it out, but most of these are beyond reason.
