More Crazy Laws #31 is this week’s Mystery Question. Who would’ve thought I could get 31 weeks out of these crazy laws!
I do want to tell you what a wonderful conference we had. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. Over a hundred attended and we practically had church at the end. 🙂
Now for the photo and verse. My daughter took this photo as she paddleboarded in Florida near her home. I can’t wait to visit and go paddleboarding there. And it reminded me of one of my favorite verses in Ecclesiastes.
Now for last week’s More Crazy Laws #30. Three laws are true, one is made up. Can you guess which one?
- Eating watermelons in the cemetery is illegal. (SC)
- Milking another person’s goat is illegal.
- It is illegal to catch a fish with a lasso. (TN)
- In one city, a person cannot go barefoot without first getting a special five-dollar permit. (TX)
And the answer is…#2. Congrats to all who answered correctly!
Now for this week’s More Crazy Laws #31. Three true laws are true, one made up. Can you guess which one?
- You may be arrested for wearing New York Jets clothing here.
- Getting married in a skating rink is against the law.
- No one may be arrested on Sunday or on the Fourth of July.
- You can be arrested for sticking your tongue out at a policeman.
Okay, Super Sleuths, which one did I make up? Leave your answers in the comments.
More Crazy Laws #29 Three laws are true, one is made up. Can you guess which one? Click To TweetI think I forgot to reveal the cover of Deadly Revenge…
Here it is. And here’s the back copy:
Twenty years ago, the construction of a dam caused people in Pearl Springs to lose their land to eminent domain. Someone bearing a grudge is clearly set on revenge. Russell County Deputy Jenna Hart and TBI Agent Max Anderson team up to track down the killer.
Max and Jenna worked together in the Chattanooga Police Department, and there was even a smoldering fire of attraction. Their romance reignites as the threads of the investigation get tangled and another suspect comes into play. Jenna and Max will have to draw on their skills to stay alive.

#2 – too logical

Love your reasoning, Mary! We’ll see…
I’m going with #4.

We’ll see, Diana!
Pat, your daughter has a great eye for composition. It’s a beautiful photo, and I like the verse you chose to go with it.
I’m glad your conference was successful. Sounds like it was uplifting, too.
#1 Really? This just seems silly even if you don’t like the NY Jets.
#2 Who cares if someone wants to get married in a skating rink?
#3 No arrests on Sunday or on the Fourth of July? Sounds like an invitation to break the law.
#4 I’ll bet a lot of folks would be guilty of this one at some point in their lives (like after that traffic stop and ticket).
As dumb as they all are, I’ll say you made up #4.

Love your logic, Tim…not sure if it’ll work here…we’ll see. Thanks for the comment on the photo. I’ll pass it along to my daughter!
I haven’t been doing very well with these, so this time I’m going with number 2 because it sounds so real it must be fake!

Reverse psychology, eh, Priscilla? We’ll see how that works out for you…
That’s a lovely photo and perfect for framing. My first thought was, I hope there’s no alligators in that water!
The crazy laws definitely are crazy today!!
#2 I used to roller skate a lot and had a blast. However, I’m still traditional and like the gown and flowers in a church wedding. So no go on the skating rink.
#3 I hope this is a law, so many drunk drivers out on July 4th.
#4Not a good idea to stick out your tongue at a police officer. It will make them hot around the collar, but I don’t think they can arrest you for it. So going with #4
I agree with Pat. The conference was amazing. Sweet, sweet spirit there, great classes, and Pat did us proud with her keynote!

Actually, Barbara, there was an alligator in the photo, but he was too far away for you to notice. Love your logic! We’ll see next week if it’s #4. And thank you for the kind words about the conference. It was a blast!
Of course I’m searching for the alligator now!!!! I may have found him by the two poles??? Would you paddle board in that particular body of water knowing alligators were there? Oooh, not me, but it is beautiful and so peaceful. . . until you become lunch.

I’ll have to ask her where it is…
#3 this has to be false

Hi Gail! We’ll see next week…
I am guessing #4 this week.

We’ll see, Patricia!
I like the picture, but I have one question. Are you sure there are no alligators or crocodiles lurking in the brush or just under the surface of the water? I’ve never paddleboarded, but I think I would prefer trying somewhere other than Florida. However, that does look like a very peaceful scene, and the verse fits so well.
I think I will go with #4 this week. If there were such a law on the books, I’m sure it would have been removed years ago. It reminded me of the first time I ever got stopped by a police officer. I was driving well over the speed limit, but it was early in the morning with almost no traffic on the roads, except for at least one state trooper. As I was sitting in his car while he wrote out the ticket, I made some comment and used the word “cops.” You would have thought I had used one of the forbidden four-letter words. He swung around to face me and asked, “What did you say?” I responded: “Uh, I’m sorry. I meant police officer.” I don’t know why he was touchy about that unless I thought I was associating all police officers with the Keystone Cops. Of course, now they are called much worse on national TV. Sticking one’s tongue out at a policeman seems like so a minor thing compared to all they are forced to face that I can’t imagine that being a law.

Always love your logic, Edward. And thanks for pointing out my spelling error…I blame it on being in the doctor’s office…We’ll see next week if it’s #4.
“He has also set eternity in the human heart.” What a beautiful thought. And the picture is lovely, but please be careful if you go paddleboarding in Florida!
The conference was fabulous. You and the other organizers did a wonderful job.
I’ll go with #3. Surely that has to be made up.

Hi, Kay! It was great to see you Friday! I love our conference. It had such a sweet spirit.
I can’t believe my daughter went paddleboarding with an alligator. lol I think it was relatively small. And we’ll see next week if it’s #3.
I choose #3 this time–no jail on Sundays or July 4th sounds false to me. I mean, people do commit crimes and need arresting on Sundays.
Author
Hi Delores! We’ll see next week if it’s #3.
Hi, Im going with #4 .
Author
Number 4 is getting a lot of votes, Alicia…we’ll see…
I’ll go with #2 this week.
