Strange Laws

Be careful, many of these laws are still on the books

1 When visiting Louisiana, remember that it is illegal to gargle in public...you can do just about anything else in public, but NO gargling!

2 And be careful that you do not get caught shaving while driving in Massachusetts or you'l be in real trouble.

3 If you're going to be driving through Utah, be alert because the birds have the right of way on the state highways.

4 And walking down the streets of Maine with your shoes strings untied is also illegal.

5 Oh, and in Atlanta, not only is it illegal to tie your giraffe to a telephone pole but if you get caught dressing a mannequin without shutting the window shades, you could be in big trouble.

6 When in Nebraska, keep in mind not to spit against wind because not only is it messy, its also illegal.

7 Eating out in Connecticut became so much more pleasant once the law requiring restaurateurs to provide separate nose-blowing and non-nose-blowing sections, went into effect.

8 And if you decide to order cherry pie while eating in Kansas, don't waste your time asking it to be served with a scoop of ice-cream on top...it against the law.

9 In California, its against the law to peel an orange in your hotel room....I guess its ok to peel it in the hallway & then go into your room.

10 If you're planning to do any fishing while visiting Chicago, be sure you don't do it in your pajamas or you might spend the rest of your vacation in jail.

11 And if you're going to set a fire under your mule, don't do it in Ohio..yep, its against the law. Can you believe it?

12 Whistling under water will result in more than getting water in your nose, it will also get you put in jail if you do it in Vermont.

13 And while you and your beloved spouse are enjoying the Florida sun, don't throw dishes if you happen to have a little disagreement with each other. If you break more than 3 a day, you could spend the rest of your vacation eating off of metal trays in the county jail.


We're not the only ones with the wacky laws. If you're planning a trip out of the country be aware that....

14 It is illegal to land a flying saucer in the vineyards of France.

15 And last but not least, if you take ill while in Iceland, never seek medical help from anyone who's shingle reads: "Scottulaejnir". You see, ANYONE, can practice medicine in Iceland as long as they display this sign. Loosely translated it means, "Quack Doctor"

A good picture is equivalent to a good deed.
Vincent Van Gogh

An artist needn't be a clergyman or a churchwarden, but he certainly must have a warm heart for his fellow men.
Vincent Van Gogh

As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed.
Vincent Van Gogh

But I always think that the best way to know God is to love many things.
Vincent Van Gogh

Conscience is a man's compass.
Vincent Van Gogh

Do not quench your inspiration and your imagination; do not become the slave of your model.
Vincent Van Gogh

Even the knowledge of my own fallibility cannot keep me from making mistakes. Only when I fall do I get up again.
Vincent Van Gogh

For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.
Vincent Van Gogh

Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.
Vincent Van Gogh

How can I be useful, of what service can I be? There is something inside me, what can it be?
Vincent Van Gogh

I am still far from being what I want to be, but with God's help I shall succeed.
Vincent Van Gogh

I can very well do without God both in my life and in my painting, but I cannot, suffering as I am, do without something which is greater than I am, which is my life, the power to create.
Vincent Van Gogh

I dream of painting and then I paint my dream.
Vincent Van Gogh

I experience a period of frightening clarity in those moments when nature is so beautiful. I am no longer sure of myself, and the paintings appear as in a dream.
Vincent Van Gogh

I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.
Vincent Van Gogh

I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day.
Vincent Van Gogh

I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process.
Vincent Van Gogh

I see drawings and pictures in the poorest of huts and the dirtiest of corners.
Vincent Van Gogh

I wish they would only take me as I am.
Vincent Van Gogh

If boyhood and youth are but vanity, must it not be our ambition to become men?
Vincent Van Gogh

The $2.99 Breakfast special




299 specialWe went to breakfast at a restaurant where the ‘seniors’ special’ was two eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast for $2.99.
‘Sounds good,’ my wife said. ‘But I don’t want the eggs.’
‘Then, I’ll have to charge you $3.49 because you’re ordering a la carte,’ the waitress warned her.
‘You mean I’d have to pay for not taking the eggs?’ my wife asked incredulously.
‘YES!’ stated the waitress.
‘I’ll take the special then,’ my wife said..
‘How do you want your eggs?’ the waitress asked.
‘Raw and in the shell,’ my wife replied. She took the two eggs home and baked a cake.
