You'd be surprised at some of the "feaces" that happens over here,
wouldn't bet against them trying.

In Massachusetts - All men must carry a rifle to church on Sunday.

I can just see what would happen if someone did do that.
I love the pregnant pee law to funny i wonder how some of these came about?
