A Simple Suggestion

I ran across a list of America’s Craziest Laws and thought the new Montana legislature might spend some time undoing this stuff. I think they should spend the entire session doing nothing but getting rid of bad laws.

Montana

It is a felony for a wife to open her husband’s mail.

It is illegal to have a sheep in the cab of your truck without a chaperone.

In Billings, Montana it is illegal for employees of the city’s communications center to program their phones with speed dial.

Balls may not be thrown within the city limits.

It is a misdemeanor to show movies that depict acts of felonious crime in Montana.

Bozeman has a law that bans all sexual activity between members of the opposite sex in the front yard of a home after sundown — if they’re nude.

Seven or more Indians are considered a raiding or war party and it is legal to shoot them.

It is illegal for a man and a woman to have sex in any other position other than missionary style. In Montana, it is illegal for married women to go fishing alone on Sundays, and illegal for unmarried women to fish alone at all.

It is a misdemeanor to show movies that depict acts of felonious crime.

And if our lawmakers (I’d have them as lawkillers if it were up to me) don’t want to take on this task, let’s hope they do nothing.
