More Crazy Laws #53 ~ Mystery Question

Patricia Bradley Mystery Question 40 Comments

More Crazy Laws #53 is this week’s Mystery Question. I wonder just how many crazy laws are on the books?? My word count is 55,000 words…not as much as I wanted this week, but I’m slowly but surely inching toward the deadline. Thank you for the prayers.

The photo was taken last week during the Super Nova moon. It was beautiful, although not as detailed as the more yellow moons are. And I love that verse–His love for us endures like the rising of the moon every day.

Now for last week’s Mystery Question about crazy state laws. Three laws are on the books somewhere and I made up one of them. Your job is to figure out which one I made up…
  1. It’s illegal to walk your cow down Main Street here.
  2. Don’t wear a bulletproof vest when you commit a crime here–you can be charged separately for it if caught. (NJ)
  3. Here you have to have a permit to feed garbage to a pig. (AZ among other places)
  4. Heads up, Hannibal Lecter–cannibalism is strictly prohibited here. (ID)

And the answer is…#1. Congrats to all who guessed correctly!

Now for last week’s Mystery Question about crazy state laws. Three laws are on the books somewhere and I made up one of them. Your job is to figure out which one I made up…
  1. It’s illegal to tell a woman you’re going to marry her and then not follow through here.
  2. Here it’s illegal to shoot anyone with a paintball gun if they aren’t playing the game with you.
  3. You can’t ride your camel faster than 10 miles an hour in this state.
  4. In this state, if dog owners post a “Bad Dog” sign, they aren’t liable if their dog bites someone.

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

    I knew someone sued for “breach of promise” so it’s not #1.
    I’m going w/ #3. Those camels can get up to high speeds fast! 🙂

    I love the verse, but I think the brightness of the moon fooled your camera. Did you use your phone’s camera?

    I’m excited about your book release. Just two weeks and counting!!

    As for the dumb laws…
    #1. Well, a guy should be serious about marriage proposals.
    #2. If I’m not playing, I don’t want to be painted. SPLAT.
    #3. Camels can move pretty fast, so maybe.
    #4. Bad dog signs might vary from state to state, so probably true.
    I will say you made up #3 this time. I want to drive my camel at least as fast as I ride my bike.

      I used my Canon, Tim. I can’t get that good a photo with my phone. But it was so bright I didn’t get any of the details I usually get. And I hope your camel can keep up with your bike! We’ll see next week…

      I hate to split up families, Barbara! I am really excited about the release. And the Facebook party on the 30th…I’m doing a video. You have to look really hard to see any details in the moonshot…

    That is a great shot of the moon. Love the verse!

    Wow! It’s hard to imagine that there are a significant enough number of people telling women they are going to marry them and then backing out to justify wasting the time to pass such a law. I wonder if it also applies to all the little boys who tell their mommies that they are going to marry her when they grow up. LOL!

    I can see justification for it being illegal to shoot someone with a paintball gun when they aren’t in the game. I would certainly be upset if it happened to me.

    I know practically nothing about a camel. Can they even travel ten miles per hour? I don’t think I want to travel more than a few paces on a camel.

    If I were a dog owner, I would put up a “Bad Dog” sign on general principles in that state. Why take a chance?

    I think #3 is made up. With their long legs, they might cover ten miles in 30 minutes with no trouble. What do I know?

    Think I’ll go with # 3 this time. I’m thinking back in the camel riding days they maybe didn’t have speed traps!
