- Masks may not be worn in public
- In Anniston Alabama you may not wear blue jeans down Noble Street
IN Minnesota
- It is illegal to stand around a building without a good reason to be there.
-A person may not cross state lines with a duck atop his head.
-In Minneapolis red cars may not drive down Lake Street

I like the not being allowed to cross state lines with a duck on your head. Logical law, that.
Not.

I was walking down Noble Street in Alabama dressed in blue jeans when a peddler came up to me and asked me if I wanted to buy some quality masks that were confisicated by the police from non-law abiding citizens. I bought the one adorned with feathers, toesters and armadillos playing hand games. I continued walking when I came across people playing dominoes. You are not allowed to play dominoes on a Sunday so I called the police. Turns out it was a Saturday and I got arrested for wearing blue jeans and a mask in public. They gave me a five-year jail sentence and proceeded to confiscate my confiscated mask. I called the police on myself. The moral of this story is: never read this thread and then write a story. This is considered illegal in all 50 states of America plus Canada and some places in Puerto Rico. OMG the police are ringing the doorbell!! * gives a sneaky look* I was not here.

But you DID say 50.

Maybe she had a different number, but the Admin changed it to 50.

There is this one law somewhere in FL, that says that your vehicle has to have windshield wipers (even if your vehicle dosen't even have a wind shield on it) :P

In Alabama it is illegal to wear a fake mustache that couses laughter in church.
Lol!

Yes, correct. I have had 3.25 birthdays. (: I was born on Feb. 29th, which just so happens to only occur every four years. So, I suppose I am 13 YEARS old, but technically I am just 3.25. (The .25 isn't exact, but I am .25 birthdays older every time I have a birthday.)
Look at the calendars from 2007 and 2008 if you don't get this.

Oh, ya this dosen't really have much to do with this thread, but I was wondering why on one page all the posts seem to get skinnier as they go down.
Each time you hit "Reply," your post is skinnier than the one above. If you instead add a new comment, it will not appear in skinny form. We may one day try to figure out how to do something about this. One idea was to eliminate altogether the "Reply" option, but we haven't decided on that yet.

I would suggest color coding the boxes surrounding the posts - alternate, say, blue and red posts, and when you respond to a post, it's the same color. Like, Nitehawlk says "I like mashed potatoes" and it gets colored blue. Then Mary W. makes a new post that says "When is Father's Day, anyway?" and that's red. Then, when someone responds to Nitehawlk and says, "I like mashed potatoes too, but not gravy," their post is blue, but you don't have to change its size. That would be easy to sort visually, but wouldn't make problems because this post, for example, is going to be something like ten characters wide. And please don't eliminate "reply" - it's very useful, and the Chatterbox would be a very confusing place without it.

Example, Nitehawlk, example. *sighs tragically* (just kidding. I'm sorry you can't.)
