More Crazy State Laws #64 is this week’s Mystery Question. Can you believe this is week 64 with these crazy laws?
I took this photo a year ago while standing in my backyard. It was a beautiful afternoon, and I had just walked home from visiting my friend across the street. My “Bestie” was in the house, waiting for me to finish supper. I was so glad I had my phone with me because it isn’t often you get an opportunity to capture a photo like this. I thought the verse went well with the photo.
Now for last week’s More Crazy Laws #63. As usual, three are true and one is false. Can you guess which one?
- It’s illegal to walk down the street here carrying a violin in a paper bag. (UT)
- Sorry kids, but you can’t put playing cards in your bike spokes to make it sound like a Harley here.
- It’s illegal to hire a trombone player to entertain when promoting an auction. (UT)
- Here it’s illegal to use gunpowder to cure a headache. (UT)
And the answer is…#2. Thank goodness it isn’t illegal to put those cards in your bicycle spokes! Congrats to all who guessed correctly.
Now for this week’s More Crazy Laws #64. As usual, three are true and one is false. Can you guess which one?
- It’s against the law here to let your pet flamingo into a barber shop.
- Here’s it against the law to carry a concealed slingshot without a license.
- Kids can’t build a snowman taller than they are while on school property here.
- You can’t drive without clothes on here.
Okay, Super Sleuths, which one did I make up? Leave your answers in the comments and I’ll enter you in a February drawing for a book from my library!
January’s winner, chosen by random dot org is…Linda Reville! I’ll be contacting you in the next few days…
This week I want to share a song that I found on Steve Laube’s Fun Friday blog. If you haven’t checked out his Friday blog, you may want to. He usually has fun stuff on there on Fridays! The rest of the week it’s about writing and publishing.

I’m glad you enjoyed the song, Delores. We’ll see next week if I tried to fool you with the flamingos…
Well, these take the cake. It should be good sense not to do any of these. And I don’t see how kids could build a snowman taller than they are w/o adult help, but I’ll go w/ #1. Perhaps you’ve substituted a flamingo for another pet? I receive Steve Laube’s blog but somehow missed this song–thx. for making sure I didn’t.

We’ll see, Delores, if I tried to fool you with the flamingos…and I’m glad you enjoyed the song and video!
number 4/ Another great picture and verse
Author
Thanks, Sharon! We’ll see if it’s #4 next week…
I’m going with #4.
Author
Hi Diana! Like I said, #4 is getting very popular.

We’ll see, Linda!
What a photo! The verse reminds me a little of the line in the poem “High Flight”: the pilot says, “… reached out my hand and touched the face of God.”
That clip of Tennessee Ernie Ford is one of my favorites. Thanks for putting the video in your blog today.
#1. Well, who would even think of bringing their flamingo to the barber shop? Oh, maybe to get it’s wings clipped.
#2. Yeah, no open carry in that state.
#3. Who would want to spoil the kid’s fun? Phooey.
#4. If it’s not a law to drive without clothes, it should be!
Sometimes the obvious one is the made up one. I think you made up #4.
Author
As always, Tim, your logic makes a lot of sense…we’ll see next week if it’s #4…Did you get it right last week?
#2?
Author
Hi Barbie D! Well, I think this is the first vote for #2…we’ll see next week.
Beautiful picture and verse! “Children, Go Where I Send Thee” is such a great song. I really love this version with Kenny Rogers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4qNaAlZ1xc&ab_channel=HomeFree
I think you made up #4 because who’d want to drive nekkid? You’d stick to the upholstery, haha!
Author
I’m glad I’d finished my coffee, Priscilla. Otherwise I would’ve spit it. 😀 Going now to listen to the Kenny Rogers version of the song. We’ll see next week if it’s #4.
Beautiful picture. I’m going with #2
Author
Hey, Martha! We’ll see next week if it’s #2…I’m glad you liked the picture.
Love the photo and that’s another of my favorite Scriptures!
#2 I don’t know if carrying your slingshot in your back pocket would be considered concealed or not. But I have no problem with having a backup weapon.
I certainly could relate to the kid in the video!!
Blessings, Pat!
Author
Thanks, Barbara! I have no problem with carry-conceal, either…going to get my permit soon. We’ll see next week if it’s #2.
Well how about that??
Love the picture and verse. The picture speaks to me of God’s might and power which are always present. But there in the bottom right corner is a transformer representing man’s puny efforts to generate power. God’s power never flickers or fails. Praise the Lord!
I enjoyed the Tennessee Ernie video. The little boy by his right side really gets into the song, doesn’t he?
1. I guess flamingo droppings mixed in with hair clippings would be a challenge to clean up.
2. I’m sure this law would put a stop to all the little boys trying to sneak a slingshot into the classroom.
3. I don’t know about the legality of this, but it would certainly be a challenge to build a snowman taller than you are, unless it’s just a few inches.
4. I think this would be a good law, especially for the safety from truck drivers who usually have a full view into the smaller vehicles. One glance over and suddenly the big rig is heading in that direction. I have to agree with those who chose 4 as made up.
Author
Your (and Tim’s) logic always impresses me, Edward. And I love your point about the transformer! I hadn’t thought of that. We’ll see next week if it’s #4.
I am guessing #3 is made up this week. Lovely photo!
Author
Thanks, Gloria! We’ll see next week if it’s #3.
The little boy that was drawing so much attention in Tennessee Ernie Ford’s video wasn’t acting up I don’t think. I think the little kid was ENJOYING the music, good for him! And did you notice?–he had good rhythm, better than half the adults when you get any audience to clapping to a song (they always get off beat).
Author
I agree with you about Tennessee Ernie’s son. He certainly has more rhythm that I do! You didn’t guess which one I made up…
#2, although it would’ve been a good law when Opie killed the mother bird with his slingshot.
I needed that Tennessee Ernie Ford clip. I’ve been way under the weather and that gave me a good laugh. I have that song on my playlist by Johnnie Cash with his wife and her family.
Author
I remember that episode, Gail! And if you want another laugh, read Priscilla’s response. 🙂 We’ll see next week if it’s #2.
Beautiful photo and scripture, Pat!
#3
I am going with #1 this week.
I’m going to go with #4. Frankly, if you think it’s okay to drive nude, you shouldn’t be allowed out in public, therefore, no need for a law, so I think you made it up.
#2
#3 because if it snows ,they wouldn’t be at school to make a snowman
Ok, sometimes crazy laws make my head hurt :)) Eeny, meeny, miny, moe – it’s #3. – Emily
