I did add the note to the Oregon law on pumping gas, because the truth had nothing to do with the state government being worried of average drivers handle flammable materials.
It was all about protecting a job.
May God watch over and bless those who lost family members on 911, and those who have lost brave family members in the subsequent war against Islamic terrorism. God Bless America and all the Tea Party members who will be delivering our message to Washington in person.
Article ping,
This is a list of 25 wacky laws across America, many of which are still on the books.
Just a bit of brevity for this somber day.

Well posted.
Mynd you, møøse ***** kan be pretty nasti.
I live in NJ. (I know, I know.) I pump my own gas. I don’t appreciate the fact that the “professionals” could care less about scratching the side of my care with the nozzle, or leaking gas all over it too. The local station attendants know me and don’t care that I pump my own gas, but when I am out of town I do get looks from attendants and customers alike. They should really just mind their own, but in NJ everyone is a busybody. There’s no sheeple quite like Jersey Sheeple I suppose.
I have one that tops all those.
I heard of a country (The name escapes me) that actually doesn’t require that it’s top elected official doesn’t have to show proof that he is eligible for the office.
Good thing that can’t happen here. // Sarcasm Button Off
I haven’t been in NJ in a while. Do they still have attendents? What do you tip those folks?
Opps! Fixed it. Too many doesn’ts

I wish I would have thought of that one. I would have extended the list to 26 and make that #1.
Oh well.
I read a long time ago, via e-mail that Indian Reservations have some of their own laws as well. There were some pretty wacky Indian laws in effect. To the extent it was true, I have no idea.
Thanks for the ping!
re #2
there must have been quite a vacuum cleaner lobby once in Denver
Number 13, dealing with camels in Arizona has an additional interesting historical reference.
Jefferson Davis, yes that Jefferson Davis, was the mastermind of importing camels as beasts of burdens. I read that in Winston Broom’s latest book Vicksburg (a very readable history, I might add).
Like the Dylan song (from the Traveling Wilbury’s)
In Jersey, everything’s legal, as long as you don’t get caught.
I got news for you. There are very few gas stations that offer full service in this country today. I have driven across the country many times in the past 10 years. I was in NJ (Atlantic City) about 5 years ago. I have lived in CA, TX, VA, MD and IN. I have driven between them all.
I have not had anyone else put fuel in my car or recall seeing a "full service" pump in the last 10 years. I'm sure there are some out there. But I expect they are rare.
Skunks may not be carried into the state of Tennessee.
What about Al Gore?
I agree.
In the past years we have gone on long trips through in OK, AL, MS, TN, KY, GA and FL.
I haven’t seen a full service station, either.
