    Granted, most of them are silly. But, it seems entirely reasonable to me not to drive with an uncaged bear. How many dildos do you really need? And, remind me never to eat a pickle in CT.

    Hahah… 18 years old to play a pinball game.. Classic. How about waking a bear for a picture. No way on Arizona’s Dildo law, that is actually pretty funny.

    under what law was the dildo referenced?
    I really want to be able to use this information but need to back it up!
    Thanks
