Where PV and I grew up this is a law that is still in action -
[FONT=times new roman,helvetica]It is legal for a man to beat his wife on the courthouse steps so long as it is before 8:00 pm.
And some other great VA laws :
[/FONT]It is illegal to tickle women.
[SIZE=-1]It is illegal to kick your wife out of bed. ([/SIZE]Lebanon)
[SIZE=-1]It is illegal to flip a coin in a restaurant to see who pays for a coffee. ([/SIZE]Richmond)
[SIZE=-1]If you are drunk and not driving your car, and the person who is driving the car is drunk as well, you may both receive DUI's. ([/SIZE]Virginia Beach)
[SIZE=-1]It is illegal to use profanity on Atlantic Avenue or the boardwalk. ([/SIZE]Virginia Beach) (Ali's note : there are actually signs in VA Beach that warn of cursing on Atlantic).
Not only is it illegal to have sex with the lights on, one may not have sex in any position other than missionary.
You may not have oral or anal sex.
Driving while not wearing shoes is prohibited. (They we're lying when they told me to keep my shoes on!)
[SIZE=-1]A man may face 60 days in jail for patting a woman's derriere. ([/SIZE]Norfolk)
And to say a nice thing about my lovely state? A few years ago, a law did pass through one of the houses of congress and got stopped in the state Senate.
This law awards you a 500 dollar fine if your underwear is showing.
