More Crazy Laws #55 ~ Mystery Question

Patricia Bradley Mystery Question 54 Comments

Thank you to More Crazy Laws #55 is this week’s Mystery Question. Double Nickles. How many of you remember when that was the national speed limit?

This week’s post is a reminder not to only vote, but to pray for whoever is elected — something we should be doing for every elected official, judge, even dog catcher! Probably close to half the voters will not get the person they voted for in the election. Just remember, no matter who the president is, God is still in control.

Also remember that if you don’t vote, you shouldn’t complain about the person in office… 😉

One more thing…today Deadly Revenge releases!!!  More about that at the end of the post…
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. Want to break the law here? Putting your kid’s bathroom more than 200 feet from their bedroom will do it. (PA)
  2. Here it’s illegal to hunt big game if it’s swimming. (GA)
  3. If you’re over 14, don’t play on the playground here or you might be arrested. (KS)
  4. In this state if you own a black cat you must put a bell on its collar on Halloween.

And the answer is…#4. I don’t have to put a bell on my kitty–I don’t let him out on Halloween!

Now for this 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 drive a car without a steering wheel here.
  2. You can’t take a photo of your hunting trophy using a flash camera in this state.
  3. Have a dog that needs to relieve himself? Don’t let him do it in a full parking lot.
  4. Here you must feed the parking meter if you tie an elephant, goat or alligator to it.

Okay Super Sleuths, which one did I make up? Leave your answers in the comments, and I’ll enter you in a November drawing for a $10 gift card!

    Congratulations on your book release, Pat! I’m ready to start reading.
    I do remember the double nickel speed limit. I remember various states enforced it differently.
    Congratulations Joy for winning the drawing.

    The laws:
    #1. There are some driverless cars without steering wheels, so maybe.
    #2. Can’t use a flash to photograph a hunting trophy? That is dumb.
    #3. Dogs and parking lots. This one makes sense. Amazing.
    #4. You park it by a parking meter, you pay the fee. Yup.
    I think you made up #2. How could this possibly be enforced? But then we’re talking about legislators.

      Tim, to answer your question about how a law could possibly be enforced, what do the legislators care? Enforcement isn’t their job.

    I’m choosing #3, again LOL Maybe if I choose #3 every week I’ll be right every once in a while!

    I read Deadly Revenge everyone, and you’re going to LOVE it! Congratulations, Pat on your book birthday!

    Oh my these laws! I’m going with #4. I put money in a parking meter in Knoxville, and would you believe I still got a parking ticket??. I couldn’t prove otherwise. Grrrrr

    James isn’t nearby for his vote!

    They’re all crazy, but I think it’s #2 this time. Can’t wait to find out.
    And congrats on the release of Deadly Revenge!

    Congratulations on the new book, Pat! I hope it shoots to the top of the list by next week.

    The more crazy laws I see, the more sense they make. That may have come through in my response last week. Now for the Double Nickel set.

    1. I would agree that a car needs a steering mechanism, but I’m not sure it needs to be a steering wheel. I don’t think a NASCAR driver would last very long on a super speedway with a joystick, but I don’t guess state legislators have much control over what goes on at a race track.
    2. This doesn’t make much sense, unless hunting is restricted to daylight hours. However, I am aware that it is illegal to hunt with a spotlight in Virginia. After the animal is dead, I don’t think any kind of light will have an effect on it.
    3. I would support this law but think it should be expanded to include all parking lots, even if they are empty.
    4. I agree. If you use the meter, you pay the fee.

    I’m going with #2. I don’t see the point.

    I’m going with #2, these all seem pretty crazy though. And yes I do remember the 55 mph speed limit! I almost wish it was that again, everyone goes so fast anymore.
    Patricia, I look forward to reading your new book and I absolutely love the cover to it. It looks great!
