Stupid Laws

[quote name='Paladin D' date='Aug 25 2005, 03:34 PM']New Jersey is one of two states (Oregon), where it is illegal to pump your own gas.  Some may find this odd, but it's pretty cool (you should see it sometime). 

When I lived in Jersey, we didn't have to pump our own gas. :

• Lovers in Liberty Corner should avoid satisfying their lustful urges in a parked car. If the horn accidentally sounds while they are frolicking behind the wheel, the couple can face a jail term.

that's why i did it on the passenger side.

that steering wheel is annoying

(when they said Liberty Corner i was thinking Liberty State Park somewhere there.)

Born in a hospital in Camden, but spent almost two years of my little life in Maple Shade. We moved to Wilmington, Delaware (which I stayed till I was 14), but Wilmington is not far from the area. Gotta love the Northeast, where everything is relatively close by.

OH YES!

I AGREE

[quote name='Paladin D' date='Aug 25 2005, 05:39 PM']It's not disgusting, it creates jobs, and it makes people depend on others.  If someone were anti-social or hated people, there would be a reason to complain.

You only pay for the price of the gas, nothing extra.  He (or she) gets paid hourly, not on commission.

The only problem with that law is that long-term exposure to gasoline vapors cause cancer, so gas station workers there have much higher rates of cancer than the average citizen.

In Pennsylvania, it is illegal to hold a scavenger hunt - in college we had lots of "looking for things" parties instead :

Here in La Crosse, Wisconsin, it is illegal to park your horse on main street... and it is illegal to "worry a squirrel".. hmm

Prior to sometime in the '60s or so, this was normal practice everywhere. "Service stations" had attendants who pumped gas and cleaned the windshields while the patrons waited.
(Where I live, there was one station that did this until they closed a few years ago, though it also had two self-service pumps.)

Yep.

But there are jobs that also expose people to similar conditions. I would rather leave it up to the person to decide if he or she wants that kind of job.

I think speed limits are pointless... Heck the autobahn doesn't have one does it, why do freeways have too!

Anyhow, in Wisconsin it's illegal to molest a butterfly, meaning Micheal Jackson can't move here....

I know that it used to be illegal in Wisconsin to serve apple pie without a slice of cheddar coagulated milk.

And it used to be illegal to use margarine instead of real butter.. people would smuggle it in over the border since it was cheaper than butter...
