What the hell is up with Virginia? Is this to ensure that when fat, old people decide to celebrate something that no innocent passersby will get a surprise when they see someone forgot to pull the curtains closed?

Geez.

hmmm...i guess so...what about the peeping toms though? their the ones who'll be reporting to the police . .dunno about u but most of the time i avoid looking in windows >.>

and i mean, honestly, why dont they go through and repeal these laws they cant enforce? i mean how many cops are going to do something about some chic giving a guy oral? or vice versa?

Some of these so-called laws are of the WTF??!! variety. I mean really, I can't believe people actually sat down and hashed these things out one day. Lol. They must have been truly bored....or truly stoned. Some I find truly hilarious, like these.....

A man can legally beat his wife, but not more than once a month. I really hope they're talking about video gaming.

When being attacked by a criminal or burglar, you may only protect yourself with the same weapon that the other person possesess. That would work for Jedi and Sith, but not everybody else.

Dayton: A person of color may not be outside or within the city limits after 7 pm. So, does that mean that after 7PM, if a friend of yours makes you laugh so hard that you turn RED....you will get the shyte beaten out of you? That's rude, man.

It is illegal to tickle women. What the hell? Was there an epidemic? That's no fun! How the hell would I otherwise extract secret info from my girlfriend?

Some of these are hilarious! But it's kinda sad to when you read how many rules their are that are based on inequality, mostly based on gender, but some on colour. Anyway... my favourite:

A city ordinance states that a $500 fine will be given to anyone who detonates a nuclear device within city limits.

I can just imagine the following conversation taking place:
Terrorist: "Let's blow up LA!"
Bin Laden: "No, we mustn't there's a 500 dollar fine!"
Terrorist: "Hmm alright, let's go **** a camel then."

I'm with prydain and Tal.....Virginia must be one d-u-l-l State!

It strikes me, however, that with all those laws based around sexual positions, it probably means they're all humpin' like rabbits!! :D
