FNG Law in Texas
I found a very interesting website regarding dumb laws in the various states.
Dumblaws.com
While scrolling thru the state of texas' laws, I noticed that the city of Port Arthur has a law stating...
Quote:
* Obnoxious odors may not be emitted while in an elevator.
This reminded me of some of fng's previous posts about various events and I couldn't help but think of him. Have you been to Port Arthur fng?????

Quote:
# Margarine may not be substituted for butter in restaurants unless it is requested by the customer.
and
Quote:
# The government may not prohibit manual flushed urinals

Well, although I apparently am in violation of several Oregon laws, I can honestly say this one is not a problem for me...........

Here's a really good one from Memphis, TN.:
Quote:
Illegal for a woman to drive a car unless there is a man either running or walking in front of it waving a red flag to warn approaching motorists and pedestrians.
Now that I think about it, maybe they're not so crazy after all!
Kidding, of course!

This law is on the books for out-of-state visitors. Actually, native Texans emit fragrant bouquets.
