Gullible
People on the internet are SO gullible. For those who keep passing
around crazy laws as humorous truths, just stop. The latest I saw was
that it's illegal in Florida to fart in public on Thursdays after
6:00pm. Yes, there is a law that unauthorized discharge of poisonous
gases into the environment without a permit is illegal. So technically
yes, on Thursdays (or any other day) after 6:00pm (or any other time) if
you fart (discharge methane) it can be considered "illegal". The
laws are rarely "crazy" just because someone applies ridiculous
conditions to it. Another claimed that it was illegal in Idaho to kill a
trout while crossing a river on an elephant's back. The actual F&G
regulation states that fishing on a specific river is limited to the
shoreline only. So technically, if you are in a river on an elephant and
catch a trout it can be construed as "illegal". Just because a
statement is technically true doesn't mean you've been told the whole
truth.
