Ok, I can't resist.  As I look at those strange laws,   I am so proud of where I live now.

My pet alligator and I can get in my car that I drive with my rope while wearing my housecoat, and go make fun of the monkeys at the zoo. Ofcourse I won't need a leash for him, as I'll ride him around in a baby carriage. On the way home surely I'll be tired so I'll nap while I'm driving.

Anyone want to join me? lol

Monica, where in the world did you dig up these laws.  I like to see the smart person that made those law.  Oops! I guess I got lucky when I drove my car in my housecoat since I live in sunny California.

Good job its very interesting to read,

God Bless you,
