More Crazy Laws #29 is this week’s Mystery Question. Now that I’ve started looking for them, I find crazy laws all over the place…some even come to my inbox!
But first the photo and verse. The flowers were a gift to my neighbor across the street. They have been such a blessing to her. Another friend gave her the red amaryllis at Christmas and it sat there and sat there and didn’t bloom. Then the same friend brought the red and white one for Valentine’s and evidently, it spurred the red one to bloom! And that made me think of James 1:17!
Now onto last week’s More Crazy Laws #28. Three of the following laws are true and I made up one. Can you guess which one?
- If you’re 88 years of age or older, it’s illegal for you to ride your motorcycle. (Idaho)
- People who make “ugly faces” at children may be fined and/or jailed.
- Wheelbarrows with For-Sale signs may not be chained to trees. (Illinois)
- It is illegal to keep an elk in a sandbox in your backyard. (North Dakota)
Now onto More Crazy Laws #29. Three of the following laws are true and I made up one. Can you guess which one?
- It is illegal to poach a Venus Flytrap.
- Here is illegal to sell toothpaste and a toothbrush to the same customer on a Sunday.
- No work may be done on Sunday here. An exception is that light bulbs may be sold.
- It is illegal to take a nap in a chocolate factory.
Okay Super Sleuths, which one did I make up? Leave your answers in the comments and I’ll enter you in a March drawing for a book from my library!

Nice photo. I’m going with #4.

Thanks, Diana! We’ll see if it’s #4 next week.
That’s a stunning photo and an interesting story to go with it. I can see why you picked the verse from James to match with it; and how true it is!
#1 I suppose this could be true if the plant is endangered.
#2 Now, this one is weird. If you just arrived at your destination and discovered you forgot to pack your toothbrush and paste, what would you do? Makes no sense, but we are talked about politicians.
#3 You can sell nothing but light bulbs on Sunday. Unless of course, they are blue light bulbs? 🙂
#4 Ah, the old sleeping in a chocolate factory gotcha. Who could do that anyway?
Hmm. I’ll say you made up #4. Doesn’t seem dumb enough.
Author
Love your logic, Tim! We’ll see…
I choose #4. If it were true, then where would the Oompa Loompas sleep? They live in the chocolate factory!
Author
Love it, Joy! We’ll see next week…
#4, you might fall in and drown
Author
LOL, Phyllis! We’ll see…
Gorgeous flowers!
I’ll guess #4
Author
Thanks! It seems a trend is starting with #4. We’ll see next week…
I will say #4
Author
Hi Barbara! We’ll see if you and the majority so far are right next week.
I am guessing #2.
Author
Hi Gloria! Ah, good. A different pick with #2. We’ll see next week if you’re right…
Going with #2
Beautiful flowers
Author
Thanks, Gail. We’ll see next week if it’s #2…
#4? possible risk of ove?rcooking the chocolate, or if the power went out, it wouldn’t be stirred
Author
We’ll see, MS Barb…I can just smell the burnt chocolate…
Lovely flowers!
#3
Author
Thanks, Caryl! We’ll see…
Testing to see if I can get in.

You’re in! 🙂
How’d you do that Pat? The new link helped for here. If all my previous posts show up, apologizing in advance. FB troubles. I’m not going to retype my original post. . . Just in case they all show up. lol
Love the Scripture that goes with those gorgeous flowers.
I’m going with #4, because the smell of all that chocolate would be too sweet for me and besides where would you sleep? In a “hot tub? My brain needs coffee.
Author
I hope you have your coffee and FB is playing nicely now. 😉 We’ll see if it’s #4 next week.

Hi Patricia! We’ll see next week…
Beautiful flowers with a fitting verse.
I’m choosing #4. Who would want to nap in a chocolate factory anyway? I remember my wife and our two kids going with the youth choir from our church to Hershey Park in Pennsylvania years ago. She said the smell of chocolate in the air got to be almost sickening. They couldn’t go anywhere without smelling the chocolate.
Good point, Edward. A fellow I worked with a long time ago had grown up in PA and went to college there. While in college, he worked at the Hershey plant. He said one of the “perks” was employees could eat all the chocolate they wanted. After a short time of gorging, no one wanted to eat chocolate anymore.

My mom worked in a donut shop once and brought home fresh donuts every day…I can no longer eat donuts…We’ll see next week if it’s #4.
When I was in college, a friend was attending seminary across the street from the college. We were both married. He worked at a Pizza Hut. At the close of business each evening, the employees were allowed to take home any leftover pizza. He soon had more pizza than he and his wife could eat. They started sharing it with us. I worked in a bank data center at the time. They wouldn’t let us take home any leftover cash. I suppose we could have taken home the chads from the punch cards used back in those days.
Author
Love it, Edward!
I really want it to be #4.
Author
We’ll see, Mary. 😉
# 3 I love the flowers. Makes me smile just to see them and who doesn’t need that? I was in the hospital over Christmas. My friend gave me an Amaryllis It ended up with six beautiful red blooms. They are beautiful. DJ
Author
Thank you, DJ! I love Amaryllis and will soon have some coming up in my flower bed! We’ll see next week if it’s #3.
Those flowers are gorgeous, and love the verse you chose too!
I’m not sure about the flytrap, sounds reasonable, I do remember when I was a kid nothing was open on Sundays except gas stations, so #2 and 3 sound okay too, so I’m going with the flow and picking #4. I wouldn’t think you could nap in a chocolate factory, it would be pretty strong!
I’m so glad last week’s made up one was #2 about the funny faces! There is the cutest ChapStick commercial now on tv where a little girl riding in a car smears it all over her lips then presses her face all over the window, while passing a man on the street. He makes faces back at her and they both start laughing! It’s so cute and made me think of your contest, I had to laugh too, so I’m proud you made that one up!
I received my book today, thank you!
Author
I’m so glad it safely arrived, Ms. Dottie! I haven’t seen the commercial, but I’ll be looking for it…once I turn my TV on again. lol We’ll see next week if it’s #4.
I just went to You Tube and typed in Chapstick commercial and it was the first one to pop up, it’s listed as A Little Happy Goes A Long Way. It will make you smile!
Author
I did, too and it is so cute, Ms. Dottie!
I think 2 is made up.
Author
Hi Debbie! We’ll see if it’s #2 next week.
#2…because it is weird that a person can only buy one of the items, not both
Author
Carol…great logic…but don’t forget who we’re dealing with. 🙂
