WEIRD BUT TRUE

~In California, adultery is punishable by $1,000 fine and/or a year in prison. But adultery in Arkansas is much cheaper... offenders are fined a mere $20 to $100. (Good ol' Arkansas.)

~In Rhode Island, unmarried people can't have sex. However, if caught, the lovers are fined only $10 apiece.

~In Oxford, OH, it's illegal for a woman to strip off her clothing while standing in front of a man's picture. (I break this rule everyday!)

~It is illegal for any member of the Nevada legislature to conduct official business wearing a penis costume while the legislature is in session. (Cuz that happens ALL the time, right???)

~In Tremonton, UT, law states that no woman is allowed to have sex with a man while riding in an ambulance. In addition to pressing charges, the city publishes the woman's name in the local newspaper. The man does not receive any punishment. (Wow, that's fair!)

~The only acceptable sexual position in Washington, DC is the missionary position. Any other sexual position is illegal. (To all my DC intern friends, I sure hope you all play by the rules!)

~In Kingsville, TX, there is a law against two pigs having sex on the city's airport property. (WHAT???)

~In Romboch, VA, it is illegal to engage in sexual activity with the lights on.

~It is illegal for a man and woman to have sex "on the steps of any church after the sun goes down" in Birmingham, England. (You have to do it in broad daylight when everybody can see.)
