More Crazy Laws Take 16 is this week’s Mystery Question. As you can tell by the meme, I’m still a ways from my deadline. Mainly because on Sunday morning, I decided the beginning needed to be changed. Any change at the beginning is like dominos falling…I’m claiming the verse! So, I may be late answering comments, but I will answer!
Now for last week’s Mystery Question. Just like with dumb crimes, three of these laws are really on some state’s books, and I made one up. Note someone compiled this list in 2011 and some laws can be quite old. Can you guess which one I made up?
- This state has made it unlawful to water your lawn when it is raining. (Massachusetts )
- Chasing birds here is illegal.
- Here you can’t walk a dog without dressing it in diapers. (Temperance Mississippi)
- It is a felony for a wife to open her husband’s mail in this state. (Montana)
And the answer is…#2. Congrats to all who answered correctly.
Now for this week’s Mystery Question. Just like with dumb crimes, three of these laws are really on some state’s books, and I made one up. Note someone compiled this list in 2011 and some laws can be quite old. Can you guess which one I made up?
- Zebras may not be used to plow fields.
- A parent can be arrested if her/his child cannot hold back a burp during a church service.
- It’s against the law to pawn your dentures.
- In this state, a fine of $25 can be levied for flirting.
Okay, Super Sleuths, which one did I make up? Leave your answers in the comments, and I’ll enter you in an October drawing for a book from my library.

I’m going with #1.

Hi Diana! We’ll see next week if it’s #1!
I’m guessing number three and God bless you as you finish this book
Author
Thank you, Delores! We’ll see next week if it’s #1!
Please let it be #3. I had to laugh.
Author
So glad you got a chuckle out of my questions, Mary! We’ll see next week if it’s #3.
I laughed at these! I’m going with number 2 because kids are too unpredictable to control things like their burps!
Author
Glad I gave you a laugh this morning, Priscilla! We’ll see if it’s #2 next week.
I can imagine how changing the beginning of a book can have tremendous ripple effects. I’m praying God will give you your inspiration to still make your deadline. I hope that tortoise is heading for the fence post to exchange that clock for Kay DiBianca’s watch. Could come in handy.
Before I read your dumb laws, I always put down my glass of orange juice. It’s saves me from having to wipe the juice from my keyboard. Kids do burp a lot. I can imagine a gambler in the hole desperate enough to pawn his/her dentures. I draw the line at being in a state where I can be fined for flirting. Where’s the fun in that? I think you made up #1 just because it seems so unlikely someone would even have a zebra to be available to plow. We are talking about the United States here.

I am so glad you enjoy my little quizzes, Tim! I’m careful not to be drinking anything when I search for these lows. 😉 And as always, great logic…I’ve noticed it works about half the time. lol We’ll see where this week falls next Tuesday.
Oh my goodness, you are spot on with the meme. LOVE IT! But there’s that delightful finish line. . . And with God all things are possible!! 🙂
Now like Tim, I do not pick up, in my case, coffee, while I read these laws. I am still grinning . . . Loudly. If you get my drift?
1. I seem to remember reading something about zebras and not working in the field. . .but I may have read they shouldn’t be ridden.
2. Arrested for their child burping in church. Oh my! It seems it could be a law here in the states, but in some countries a good, hearty burp is polite and expected. . . But I don’t know about in church. Lol
3. Pawning your dentures. Now that gives me the giggles all over again! There was a story years ago about an older couple sharing a hamburger in a fast food restaurant. One of the servers felt sorry for them, because they probably could only afford one hamburger. Ends up they only could afford one pair of dentures and had to share the teeth. They ate half at a time, so the other would n’t have to wait. Sorry guys, contractors are here and my brain is buzzing from all the noise.
4. Charging for flirting. Sounds a bit like the red light district.
All that to say, I think you made up #2
Praying for those words to keep flowing, Pat.

Thank you, Barbara for the prayers! They work! Praying your reno job goes well and quickly. Like with Tim, I love seeing how your mind works… we’ll see next week.

We’ll see, BN!
I am going with two. Good luck on your new book.
Author
Thanks, Judy! We’ll see next week if it’s #2…
#1 unless your farm is next to a zoo…but I’m sure a cow is a much better choice all around…
Author
Love it, Joy! We’ll see.
It was your meme that gave me giggle spasms this morning! It was just perfect with the verse. We trust that the finish line is getting closer by the hour for you!
This is another head scratcher of a guess! Since no one has guessed #4 yet, I’ll go with it. 🙂
Author
Hi L! So glad these were head-scratchers! And yes, the deadline is
inchingflying at me! lol.I am guessing #2 this week. Prayers for words to flow.

Love the meme! Praying God gives you the words and a calm spirit! #3
Author
Thanks, Miss Mary! I’m steadily working toward it…we’ll see if it’s #3 next week!
I think you made up #2.
Author
We’ll see, Paula!
Cute meme. I pray you soon cross the finish line. I agree with the Bible verse.
Don’t look too closely at how my mind works this week. My wife and I are on the home-stretch of a 2,700-mile trip. We have about the last 700 miles to go. My brain is just about worn out trying to keep all the directions straight, planning gas stops, finding places to eat, etc.
I’m choosing #1. I realize I don’t know a lot about what goes on in other states. I doubt I know much about what goes on in my home state. However, in my years on this earth, I haven’t seen a lot of zebras roaming around. I think I have only seen them in zoos. I haven’t seen any fields to be plowed in zoos. Therefore, I can’t think of a good reason for such a law. I think you dreamed this one up.
Author
I laughed out loud at your the way you worked this out, Edward…I don’t do that often. We’ll see how it works out next week…and I can’t imagine even thinking of anything at all after that many miles! Praying a safe 700 mile arrival!

We’ll see, Patricia!
I’ll guess #1 this week.

We’ll see, Megan!
Going with #2
Author
Hi Gail! We’ll see if it’s #2 next week.
Oh my, these are so funny! I’m going to guess #1. Where would you find a zebra? Praying all goes well as you continue to work on your book.
Author
Love it, Erika! And thanks–I need prayer!!
Seems like #2 would be the most logical to me to be a law. Zebras are suppose to be mean so would make sense it’s a law not to use one for anything, just guessing.
Good luck with your deadlines!
Author
Thanks, Ms. Dottie. We’ll see if it’s #2 next week…
