Hey, for all a y'all that have to pass through Vandalia, I mean, West Virginia, and ya wanna try some of the local flavor for f-u-n, just remember:

It is legal for a male to have sex with an animal as long as it does not exceed 40 lbs.

Woo Hoo, looks like stuffed 'possum for dinner.

Almost any law exists for some really good reason. I'm just trying to imagine what sort of catastrophic incident happened in the past to encourage lawmakers to forbid the keeping of donkeys in bathtubs!

Driving is not to be done while asleep.

Remember this for the Midnight Run on the Dragon!


It is legal to gather and consume roadkill.

No! This is not a cool recipe idea for the Dragon's Breath Chili Cook-Off!

This is going to be a problem for me....

1. I was going to bring the new William Hung CD for music in the Chili Cookoff (NOT).

2. But more seriously....I sing off key ALL the time....do you think singing in the shower counts?

I'd just hate to break local laws/customs....you know....when in Rome, kinda thing.

Hugs,
PB

Only if you don't include your Donkey in the shower.

I believe you could sing your *** off in the shower, just not the bathtub.

Here are some words you can practice using too. These are on the menu at Deadbeat Pete's in Townsend, TN. If you are doing the Hilltops & Hollers rally you can eat there when you are done.....really good mexi-food. I will warn you though, it is NOT fast food.

Enjoy:

How 'bout I just honk instead? Even if I could bring down my gun [Michigan won't give me a permit for my silenced 9mm ], it won't be of much use since you can't hear it much
