RE: Did you know....


Ok I am assuming everyone on here is of legal age, so heres a did u know story.........On spring day a few years ago I was watching my parents' dogs while they were out of town.  I was using their pickup to transport them, mind u this pick up was used for work and the dogs rode around in the inside of this vehicle.  Needless to say it didnt smell the best.  It was a day where the slush was thick and I was speeding down million dollar way.  THe light turned from yellow to red as I was speeding towards the intersection, low and behold there was a cop in the middle of the turning section waiting to turn.  In a split second I realized if I tried to stop, I would slam right into the cop!  So I had no choice to run the light (needless to say if I would of stopped the cop would have turned on a red light and ran it himself) and of coarse the cop pulled me over.  Like I said before it was the first real nice spring day..........the kind that everone asks themselves why they have a job inside?  ANywhoo.........as we are being pulled over my friend and I realize that we dont have our seat belts buckled, so I hurry and strap mine in..............she straps hers in......oh wait!  hers doesnt strap in!  So she has to sit on it like it does and hold her arm in a certain position so it doesnt move!  The cop comes to the window and says "ma'am do you know why I pulled you over?" OF coarse I do..............I then precede to explain to him that I saved his life!  If I hadnt run the light I would of T-boned him! He doesnt care and then asks for my registration and such, so my friend opens up the cubby hole and dig through a mountain of mess to try and find it, meanwhile she cannot move her left arm or the seatbelt scandal will be exposed!  She finds the card and hands it to me with her right hand, across her body to me.  (picture that if you can)  The cop looks at me and says (as if to re-affirm the logic for puliing me over) "And actually ma'am its illegal to run a YELLOW light in North Dakota! So I fire back and say "Really?" "Well its also illegal in North Dakota to have sex in any other position but the missionary position, but nobody gets a ticket for that!" The cop looks at me, my friend looks at me and the cop walks away with out saying a word! Then I feel I have to blurt out as the cop walks away "Come on ITS FRIDAY!"  As the cop is back in his car running my info my friend says to me "WHAT?"  I then told her while in college during a sociology class the instructor went over some laws that were written down in the books like in the 1800s that have not been abolished yet and that was one of them.  She rolls her eyes at me and the cop walks back up to the window and says..................."Have a nice day Miss" and WALKS AWAY shaking his head the whole way................... and guess what...............................NO TICKET!

So there you go........................DID you know.................

Check this out..
 
North Dakota Law

  • In Fargo, one may be jailed for wearing a hat while dancing, or even for wearing a hat to a function where dancing is taking place.
  • It is illegal to lie down and fall asleep with your shoes on.
  • It is illegal to serve beer and pretzels at the same time in any bar, club, or restaurant.

I just might be guilty of all three!

 "The Pine trees start their new growth in the weeks before Easter... If you look at the tops of the Pine trees two weeks before, you will see the yellow shoots. As the days get closer to Easter Sunday, the tallest shoot will branch off and form a cross. By the time Easter Sunday comes around, you will see that most of the Pine trees will have small yellow crosses on all of the tallest shoots."

I must admit I did not know this until my mom told me about it.    Happy Easter everyone!  May the Lord Bless and Keep you all well!!  smile
