    Houston
    It is illegal to sell Limburger cheese on Sunday.

    Beer may not be purchased after midnight on a Sunday, but it may be purchased on Monday.


    Houston is actually not bad compared to cities in Florida, North Dakota, and New Jersey.

    Oral Sex (giving or receiving) is illegal in like 12 states.

    In Mississippi, adultery - fornication - cohabiting is felony.

    In N.J., Florida, and etc, you're not allowed to have anal sex (sodomy) with anyone, even if it's consensusal act.

    Amazingly, you can drive camels on the expressway in Arizona.


    In South Carolina, if you promise to marry a girl you have to marry her according to state law....or you go pay heavy fine or go to jail.

    FOr all the guys out there, don't get sexually aroused in public if you are in Nashville, Tennessee or the State of Florida....it's against the law. "Attempted Murder now makes sense." :D

    If stop Dyersberg, Tennessee make sure a woman doesn't call you to ask you out on a date.

    Also, if you need money, go broke, or homeless in Nashville make sure you go to the court house to get a $10 permit, which allows you to panhandle.

    Make you're at least 18 in Nashville, at least if you want to pinball. :p

    In New Jersey, it is illegal to delay or detain "homing" pigeon

    In Newport (R.I), you're not allowed to smoke pipes after sunset.

    But you can't tie up your camel to a street post in Galveston.

    I could be mistaken, but I think it means if you're standing and you take three swallows of beer, it's illegal.
