Willie, they got it EXACTLY right! Especially that view of the north shore and Lake Superior - right next to Duluth!

And for those who don't believe - well ya better come ta Duluth dis summer ya know.

I was listening to a radio commercial this morning and they were quoting some strange state laws. (Don't remember what they were advertising... ) One of the laws says that in Minnesota it is illegal to cross state lines with a duck on your head.

I have a few questions for any of you natives:

1) Is that inbound to, or outbound from Minnesota, or both?

2) Is that only terrestrial crossings, or does it also apply while in an airplane?

and
3) Has this ever been a problem?

This website lists this law along with several others. Enjoy!

(Assuming an adverse answer to question 2, I guess I'll have to take my pet duck to a sitter while I'm at the convention this year... and remember to bring pajamas. )

You know Miles, you are refreshing.........I didn't think rocket scientist had a sense of humor

It will be a pleasure to meet you.

George better be careful to leave his tools at the hangar, apparently its illeagel to carry wirecutters in your pocket in good ol' Austin

Yep. We don't take too kindly to fence-cutters in Texas.

OK Miles, I went to that web site, read about the duck, and clicked on "full text of the law," and couldn't find anything about a duck. I'm calling BO-O-O-O-GUS!!!!

I'm sure there are silly laws, though. For many years I've said that when I'm president, I will promote a constitutional amendment that for every new law they pass, Congress must repeal two. Eventually a state of equilibrium would be reached, and they could all go home and go back to work!

John,

I had no illusion that this law was real, at least not to the extent I would fear enforcement. I would LOVE to be in the courtrom when a case like that comes up. I did the same thing you did, trying to read the full text of the law, but what I got applied to law listed above; just poor web site design. Maybe I can go to Toys-R-Us, find a rubber duckie, and put a chin strap on it...

There's a legit law in Galveston TX prohibiting camels on the beach.

It stems from an old event in which a woman went bankrupt while attempting to import camels to promote a caravan-system across the southern U.S. before railroads. Her bankruptcy led to an entire shipload of camels sitting derelict in the harbor creating a huge stench that pervaded the city.

These days I suppose the ASPCA would get involved. Poor camels.
