I promise never to call you a HUSSY again! (or strumpet!)

At least in Seattle.

Washington, in 2005, it is still illegal, under a 1909 law, to bring a woman's virtue into question publicly, to call her a hussy or a strumpet.

STRUMPET?????

Other weird state laws mentioned in the article:

Florida has struck down its law forbidding unmarried women from parachuting on Sundays.

Michigan has done away with a law making it illegal to swear in front of women and children.

Texas women no longer face 12 months in prison for adjusting their stockings in public.

And the ladies of Maine can now legally tickle a man under the chin with a feather duster.

Dang, TMT...you take your slow pills today?

Autumn beat you to this one, a few threads down. Then your joke about the politics board...yeah, right!

Silly wabbit! Your brain getting soggy up there in Seattle's rainy season?

You forgot one, TMT!!!

In West Virginia, it is now illegal to throw unripened vegetables at anyone in a public stockade.

But it is still a law that if your horse defacates within township limits, you must pay a $.10 fine, or face a day (sunrise to sunset) in a public stockade.
