Concerning refrigerators, iceboxes etc., in New York City and I believe many other places, anything big enough to hold a child that fastens shut must have the door removed when disposing of it. It is not presumed that a child can operate a latch. But when it is still in the house, the kid is on his own. :cover:

A Kentucky statute says: “No female shall appear in a bathing suit on any highway within this state unless she is escorted by at least two officers or unless she be armed with a club.” Later, an amendment proposed: “The provisions of this statute shall not apply to any female weighing less than sixty pounds nor exceeding 200 pounds; nor shall it apply to female horses.”

It is illegal to shoot game out of the window of a moving vehicle, with the exception of a whale. (More brilliant Kentucky legislation) Yeah. Look at Kentucky on your maps. Whales must be coming over them mountains all the time.
