Show t. t Y 4 10 By y Jock Jones JOlles Chief Sometime ago I remarked on several of the looney laws that are still carried on the books of Vernal City After reviewing some of the outdated ordinances ordinances ordinances or or- of other cities however I dont don't think laws against speeding mules and unhealthy beggars are so bad after all For instance an ordinance passed by the City Council of Waterloo Nebraska in 1910 states It shall be illegal for any barber in this town to eat onion between 7 am a.m. and 7 pm p.m. m. m Now Ill I'll go for that one Only Only lets let's include the consumption of garlic and beer as well Ever have your hair cut by an Italian barber belching onions garlic pepperoni and bear He doesn't cut your hair he burns it off How about this one from Columbus Montana Any person who shall not lift his hat hatto hatto hatto to the Mayor as he passes him himon himon himon on the street will be guilty of a misdemeanor Wonder what Mayor Jim Drollinger's reaction to an ordinance like that would be Maybe we should also add a cla clause se which would require the Mayor to tip his hat also I can see it all now Some of those from the Boondocks who think anything the city does is intrinsically evil passing Mayor Drollinger on the street Passerby Howdy Mayor A big bow and a t tip of the hat tat You scurrilous reprobate Mayor Drollinger Hello lIello John An equally enthusiastic tip of the Stetson You dried up old Looks like a hat tipping ordinance ordinance ordinance or or- would thwart a lot of dissension At least keep it gentlemanly As Coach Dennis states Remember wrestling is a gentleman's sport It might even save a lynching In the general code of Ohio Title Two Chapter 20 Page 1590 Section to tobe be exact it states A person and lynched by a mob may recover from the county in which the assault is made a sum not to exceed Ohio obviously doesn not have a hat bat tipping ordinance Wonder how many lynched persons ever recovered the though Heres Here's another one Id I'd vote for Shawnee Oklahoma defines a nuisance as When three or more dogs congregate on any private property properly v without the consent of the owner or occupant and annoys such owners or occupants In n Connecticut it is against the law to entice a neighbors neighbor's bees In n California you cant can't shoot any mammals but whales from a car and in Louisiana women's hat pins pin cannot protrude further than a it half hall Inch from her hat Jot Which W leads me to believe that Vernal City Isn't the only city in UI the United States whose ordinances are extremely outdated t |
