        LOL, I used to have a pet bird that would jump down off my shoulder, waddle over to the ashtray and pick up my lit cigarettes and walk across the table with them in his mouth! Used to crack me up, but I was always worried he was gonna catch his feathers on fire! I have no idea why he did this, but it was fun to watch.

          I'm surprised Georgia escaped that list... SERIOUSLY.. here in Georgia.. Gainesville.. the chicken capital of the world .... it was illegal to eat chicken with a fork....

          (they said it came from the days when chicken was served in saloons where more alcohol than food was the order of the day... and the fights that inevitably broke out involved stabbing with forks... )lol

              LOL Peytonn, that is hysterical.

              You know if they want want to put you in jail in any of our wonderful states, all they have to do is search thru the old laws that are still in effect and they can jail you on a huge assortment of ridiculous charges. Its illegal to cohabitate here in N.C. unless you are married--I'd be in jail right now if they inforced it! I think that having sex in any position except missionary style is also illegal but don't hold me to that one!
