The Law Of Local Folks

.
Why is it against the law to walk an alligator on the sidewalk of Chicago?

Why is it against the law to meditate facing north?

Why is it against the law to chew gum while starlings are gathering on power lines?

Why is it against the law to walk naked under a full moon?

Why is it against the law to paint your eyebrows green?

Why is it against the law to stand on your head, on a pier, at sundown?

These and tens-of-thousands more laws and rules have been arrived at by careful pondering, committee meetings and saying 'yeah' by the raising of a few hands. Many are simply on the books to collect a fine or two should some weirdoes venture into town. All that is okay with me, however, if it takes the hiring of a dude, or dudet, to slap handcuffs on the naked fellow blissfully communing with the full moon, the rule becomes a stretch.


I took the following photos in Charleston SC. Obviously the Feds had no input, (how refreshing is that!).

The following is not permitted:

1)  You can't dip your can in the harbor's water,
2)  You can't let your kids frolic,
3)  You must drink beer only out of cans,
4)  You can't blow honkers from either mouth or nose,
5)  and of course, should you know that you're about to come down with the flu, . . . you must stay out of Charleston.
