Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

Funny Midwestern state laws Wisconsin: Livestock have the right-of-way on public roads. Sounds about right. South Dakota: It is illegal to lie down and fall asleep in a cheese factory. Hold on, they make cheese in South Dakota??? North Dakota: It is illegal to lie down and fall asleep with your shoes on. Or else you’ll get drawn on with a Sharpie. Ohio: It is illegal to get a fish drunk. Apparently drunken fish is a serious issue in Ohio. Nebraska: It is illegal to go whale fishing. In Nebraska. Whale fishing. Nebraska. Minnesota: A person may not cross state lines with a duck atop his head. I don’t even know what to say to that one. Michigan: A woman isn’t allowed to cut her own hair without her husband’s permission. Obviously. Iowa: A man with a mustache may not kiss a woman in public. Got that, hipsters? Indiana: Baths may not be taken between the months of October and March. Oh. Illinois: The English language may not be spoken. Um.

South Bend, IN — Something’s not right about this sign. Go ahead, take a long, hard look.

And here’s for your WTF??? of the Day…

And here’s for your WTF??? of the Day…

Police plan a seven-state crackdown on drunken driving this Fourth of July weekend. The fuzz will be mainly on the Midwest’s I-94 in six states including Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin tonight through early Saturday. OK I got this info from AP and it’s kinda not making sense to me - I mean, they’re ending the DUI weekend crackdown early Saturday? Isn’t the 4th a Sunday this year? The one-night effort involves local, county and state cops, with roadside-sobriety checks (NOT IN WISCONSIN - that shit’s still illegal), more cops on the road and seat-belt enforcement zones. So drink your little hearts out this Independence Day weekend. It’s what our founding fathers fought for. Just don’t get behind the wheel and try to drive home. Because, (if you’re in Wisconsin, at least) you could get punished with -gasp!- a citation! And if you’re in any of those other states, you’ll get a DUI, taken to jail, forced to take alcohol class, your license taken away, driving lessons, potentially an interlock ignition device, probably a felony, put on probation for years, and/or forced into alcoholism treatment. But whatever, ya know.
