Well I live in a state with a lot of nascar fans of like to get drunk and piss in themselfs in public and guys that will take a dump on someones porch then run away after hitting the door bell happens a lot in North Carolina

We do the old doggy do in the burning bag trick around her in the mid atlantic states, but not THAT.

Oh.. so you're saying that only a Tarheel would be crazy enough to even think of hitching a plow to an elephant- thus only in North Carolina would they have to legislate to stem the rising tide of elephantilling (to coin a word). Might be. They use elephants for logging in India, but Ive never heard of even even Indians using elephants to pull plows.

Thats because we are not Indian we are native american the first settlers to mirgate to america hence the term Native American we are a native people and where the first settelers in America. Also I am not saying that your putting words into my mouth. PM GO TAR HEELS UNC ALL THE WAY BABY!

My neighboring state of Idaho, I understand, has some insane laws. For instance, a woman riding in a car with her shoes off can be arrested. And of course, oral sex is a crime against nature.

That has happened to my brother befor he was barefooted and driving me to church we got pulled over and they gave him a ticket and I find it funny how America has such a prudish take on sex when I go to church with a lot of people open with the community about their sex lifes

In the 1970's Virginia had something called "Blue Laws" which outlawed the sale of many products (including alcohol) on Sundays. I don't know when or if they ever repealed those laws. I think a lot of the original states here in the US have been around so long that a lot of weird obscure laws have built up over the years.

Some states are still dry counties though I am not against drinking on a sunday I do it all the time
