There's an old law (I've been told, I haven't read it) where no cars are allowed in the center of town because they'd scare the horses or something like that. Times have changed, but according to one of my old co-workers, the law is still on the books.



Montana:

"It is illegal for a man and a woman to have sex in any other position other than missionary style."

And as much as I love Montana, you must understand why I left.



 

 

"you can't go into arcades with school uniform" i hate that one, sometimes i wanna go after school and play some street fighter, but i can't because the arcade man wont sell me the tokens cause i'm in uniform, so i have to walk all way to my home that is way farther than the arcade, get change, buy my tokens, wait in line until the japanes guys who always play run out of tokens, and before i can play the arcade closes and there are no money refunds for teh tokens.
