Subject: Unsual laws in Massachusetts (post in desperado?)
 
;Got this list from a recent issue of BOSTON magazine.  
 
In Massachusettes, it is against the law to:
 
	1) Feed Razor blades to a pig
 
	2) Construct an "infernal device" that causes destruction,chaos,death
	   (gee, then ban cars from the roads...)
 
	3) Use a Golfball that will explode/ignite upon impact.  Fine of
	   $500.00 for 1st offense, $5000.00/1 year in jail for repeated
	   offenders.
 
	4) Use a machine gun for hunting
	 
	5) Water ski at night
 
	6) Paint/disguise a race-horse
 
	7) Destroy/deface a Cranberry bush.  (Cranberries are the state drink)
 
	8) Employ anyone under the age of 15 as a contortionist
 
 
In the city of Boston:
 
	1) Undertakers are forbidden using foul language in the presence of
	   a dead body.
 
	2) You must be buried a minimum of 3' in the ground
 
	3) You must be buried between sunrise/sunset
 
	4) Performing an 'ultimate' sexual act in public, or showing a
	   book/device that shows an 'ultimate sexual act'
	   (Wonder what an 'ultimate sexual act' is?)
 
	5) store more than 2 cords of manure in your stable.  (I wonder
	   (where they got that measurement...)
 
	6) Wash your pet/vehicle in public.  Washing your pet/vehicle will be
	   done in privacy.  (I can imagine dragging one's car into the house)
	   (to wash it...)
