if any of you live in or around Washington State, USA these might be good to know..


A law to reduce crime states: "It is mandatory for a motorist with criminal intentions to stop at the city limits and telephone the chief of police as he is entering the town."

People may not buy a mattress on Sunday.

All motor vehicles must be preceded by a man carrying a red flag (daytime) or a red lantern (nighttime) fifty feet in front of said vehicle.

When two trains come to a crossing, neither shall go until the other has passed.

You cannot buy meat of any kind on Sunday.

Too bad none of those are real. I bought a turkey sandwich last sunday. I rode in a motorized bus earlier with no flag in front of it. The mattress stores remain open on sunday, it is impossible to prove said criminal intentions, because no crime has been committed, and the train rule sounds like it was made up by a 4-year-old.

Many people scour over old law books that are outdated or have been deprecated, and like to combine different laws to come up with potentially humorous ones. The fact of the matter is, these aren't real.

Also, you have to be a pretty big asshole to use this as an opportunity to bash Americans.

The mattress law says you can't buy them one Sunday, nothing says the mattress stores can't stay open :P

One would assume if a store dedicated to selling mattresses remained open on sunday for so many years, eventually police would realize. One can now safely assume that the law does not exist.
