More Crazy State Laws #58 is this week’s Mystery Question. I really enjoyed my time with my sister in Chattanooga…(actually the Collegedale/Ooltewah area) this past week. Of course half the time was spent finishing the book and getting it ready to send…
I want to thank Barbara Diggs for another beautiful sunset photo in Myrtle Beach! It is so calming and inspiring! I love Psalm 103 and thought it went well with it.
Now for the last 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…
- Unless you have a chaperone, it’s illegal to have sheep in your truck here. (MT)
- Here it’s illegal to run out of gas. (Youngstown, OH)
- You can’t get a vanity plate in this state that says “bad driver”.
- In this state, you can be fined if you ride your horse faster than 10 miles an hour. (IN)
And the correct answer is…#3. I do know a few drivers that should have that license plate. lol
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…
- Whatever you do in this state, don’t drive over one of their active fire hoses or you’ll be arrested.
- Pie-throwing is banned in this state, sorry Soupy.
- Oh, and pinball? Here they might throw you in jail if you win 25 games in a row.
- Here you can’t take a selfie with a tiger.
Okay, Super Sleuths, which one did I make up? Leave your answer and I’ll enter you in a December drawing for a $10 gift card.
Winner of the November drawing is…Priscilla Bettis!
I am so excited to share a couple of places you can learn more about me! Click on the image for an article featured in The Big Thrill, The official online magazine of the International Thriller Writers.

We’ll see, Tiffany.
Hey, I won November’s drawing, woohoo! Thank you, Pat!
As for this week’s crazy laws, I can imagine events that would prompt lawmakers to pass three of the four laws, but pinball? Nah. So I’m going with number 3!
Congratulations, Phyllis!
Oops, sorry Priscilla. I corrected your name on my end, but I guess the air waves didn’t.
No worries, Barbara. I’ve been called Phyllis, Percilla, Patricia, you name it. My name is similar to my two sisters’ names, so it got to where he just called me “daughter number 3,” haha!

😀
Love that photo, Barbara. I can imagine my cousin taking a walk on that beach. And what a beautiful reminder that God has removed our sins beyond the farthest stretch of ocean.
Oh, those dumb laws.
1. This seems reasonable.
2. Wow. A shout out to Soupy Sales. Thanks for making me feel really old, Pat. 🙂
3. Do I have any control over how many pinball games I win?
4. Do we need a law to keep us from taking a selfie with a tiger? What about a bear? Alligator?
I’m guessing you made up #3.
Thanks, Tim! Could be one of the few walkers we saw was your cousin!
number 2
I’m guessing #2 but pie throwing is fun. I got to toss a lemon meringue in an 8th grade school play and they had to take up a collection to dry clean the velvet drapes. Oops!

That’s funny, Delores! We’ll see next week if that’s the right answer! 🙂
Perfect verse, Pat! We have some snow!!!! 🙂 I don’t think it will last
So glad you had a good time with your sister and have the book turned in!
I’m going with #2
James is going with # 4. He loves tigers! SomI’d hate to deprive him of a selfie.
Barbara, was that a sunset or sunrise? I’m thinking sunrise if that is the Atlantic Ocean at Myrtle Beach. It’s a great shot either way.
Thanks Edward. It was a sunrise.
#2. It’s just too weird to be real.
Author
They’re all weird to me, Joy! lol
#4? If #1 is not a law, maybe it should be! I wouldn’t want to be close enough to an active fire, and active hose to drive over the active hose!!!
Author
Love your response, Barbaie D! We’ll see…
I am guessing #2 this week.
Author
We’ll see, Gloria!
Love seeing the sun just above the horizon glistening on the waves. Good choice on the verse, Pat.
1. I think it should be a law against driving over firehouses everywhere. Personally, the only time I would even consider it would be if I had a deathly ill or seriously injured person in my vehicle and that was the only way to get them to the hospital for medical attention.
2. I think this is worthy of being a law. I’ve always cringed when I saw anyone getting a pie thrown in their face. With all the allergy and sinus problems I’ve had in my life, I want to be in full control of anything near my nose.
3. I don’t know much about pinball. I guess I always looked at it as a game of chance. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.
4. If “with a tiger” means up close and personal with no solid barrier, I would be in full support of such a law. I would agree with Tim about alligators and numerous other wild creatures.
I’ll have to go with #3 again. I suppose if this was a law, a person would have to stop after winning 24 games to avoid getting thrown in the slammer.
Author
Hi, Edward! Great logic…we’ll see if it gets you the right wrong answer….
#3 seems made up to me.
Author
Hi, Gail…we’ll see…
I think it’s #3 this week.
Author
Numnber 3 is getting a lot of votes…we’ll see next week, Megan!
#4
Author
Hi, Lucy…we’ll see next week if it’s #4.
I’ll go with #2! Congrats Priscilla
Author
We’ll see next week, Shelia!
Love the scripture and photo, Pat!
#4
Think I’m going with #3. I’m thinking if that is a law, how would they fine you ? “You won too many pinballs”! Doesn’t make sense, but then it is crazy laws!
Glad your visit went well and got work done on the book.
I will go with #2. My uncle and his family used to live next door to Soupy Sales! Hey White Fang!
Author
Love it, Paula! I understand Soupy Sales was a really nice guy. We’ll see if it’s #2 next week…
