13. A bizzare archaic law
These are still in full legal force in England.

You have to carry a shilling (£0.05 or $0.03) at all times, or you can be arrested for vagrancy.

You have to do half an hour's archery practice on the village green every Sunday afternoon.

Unfortunately neither is enforced ever, nor any of the other many many archaic laws (both of these made some sense once upon a time) which we haven't bothered to repeal.

22. I would make faces at dogs in Oklahoma.
Or sleep in a dog kennel in Wallace, Idaho. Educate a dog in Connecticut. I would sell six blue-dyed ducklings in Kentucky, to good homes, of course. (Selling more than six ducklings is legal). These are all archaic laws still on the books.

16. Well it would depend whether I was looking for a good time first
Edited on Sat Mar-05-05 03:29 PM by mcscajun
or I simply wanted to be arrested as soon as possible.

If I wanted to have a good time first, I'd go to the local bar, get thoroughly trashed, hit on every guy in place, and finish by throwing some chairs, and maybe a guy, through the plate glass windows.

Otherwise, simply standing on Main Street firing my .357 in the air ought to do the trick.

18. reminds me of a funny story from college
At Northern Illinois University, one of the must reads of the Northern Star (student newspaper) was the Police Beat. They always managed to find the funniest and most bizarre police reports to include.

Anyway, there was a police report where an office on patrol noticed a student sitting on the curb, drinking a beer. When the cruiser came closer, the student jumped o his feet, ran onto the street, and drowned his beer proudly. The officer got out of his car and told the student he was going to be cited for public intoxication. The student said "Cool. Will this be in Police Beat?" The officer told him the editors of the paper make that decision, it is not a police decision. The student continued to explain that he was graduating in two weeks and it was his goal to make police beat.

And to think all I wanted was a 3.5 GPA. I must be an underachiever.

Oh, and the other must reads were the Flannel Truck-stop cartoon, and Kos's column, before he went on to be Daily Kos.

20. Urinating on an officer's shoe.
A friend of mine's exhusband did it-that was one of the funniest things I have ever witnessed.
I have the officer in mind...:evilgrin:

25. Protesting something worthwhile.
Nothing wrong with being arrested if it was for a worthy cause that one believes in. Otherwise, it's a bit of a waste of time.

26. Defacing private property.
I hear that there is a chimpy billboard somewhere a little south of me. Unfortunately I can't find a paintball launcher anywhere online. I'm afraid of heights, so I'd have to do a driveby.
