Now the actual laws are part 1 of this two part installment.
Now I want you guys and gals to figure out the actual reasons these laws were signed for. Because there is one for each...
I'll start
"California law prohibits a woman from driving a car while dressed in a housecoat. "
This law hails from the day when all cars were straight shift and several wrecks were caused when a person's housecoat got muddled up in the shifter.

I don't know from where all these stem, but I do know (from a TV show) that most of the laws still are on the books b/c it's too expensive to take the time to vote them off the record.

What makes you think I actually read what I post?:o
and as for Geography,there's just too much of it.I think that some of the lesser countries[such as Australia] need to be absorbed into the greater ones[Such as New Zealand] to simplify things.:finger:

I actually wouldn't be complaining about that at all! We get new head of state (down with 'lil Johnnie). We get mad import cars. Presumably cheaper airfares to more ski resorts in NZ.
You get.....one big fucking desert.....

See, we really come up trumps. I can't beleive people post things like that without considering ramifications. Hopefully Holden and local Fords would become a thing of the past due to no more GD Government protection.
