Quote:

7. LAW: A man may not seduce a woman by lying, and claiming he will marry her. COUNTRY: USA / STATE: Mississippi CITATION: 97-29-55 Seduction of female over age of eighteen by promised or pretended marriage. ACTUAL: If any person shall obtain carnal knowledge of any woman, or female child, over the age of eighteen years, of previous chaste character, by virtue of any feigned or pretended marriage or any false or feigned promise of marriage, he shall, upon conviction, be imprisoned in the penitentiary not more than five years; but the testimony of the female seduced, alone, shall not be sufficient to warrant a conviction.

Wow, I would have gone to jail for breaking this law during college <cough>!

The Wisconsin Law makes sense since it is a DAIRY state. Butter & Cheese State. What, you never saw a Green Bay game where the spectators wear cheese heads?

Native Wisconsin women have the fairest skin, they are truly beautiful.

The city in New Mexico where I went to college had an old law on the books stating that it is illegal to carry a lunchbox down main street. No one seemed to have any idea why that was enough of a problem to be illegal, but it stayed on the books
