Crazy Beer Laws
"Hey
man, that's my alligator!"
Sometimes
it appears that the lawmakers were
doing a little too much hands-on
research when they came up with
these crazy laws regarding our
favorite thirst quencher:
In
Nebraska, it is illegal for bar
owners to sell beer unless they are simultaneously
brewing a kettle of soup.
In
North Dakota, beer & pretzels can't be served at
the same time in any bar or
restaurant.

Texas, it is illegal to take more
than three sips of beer at a time while standing.
Also
in Texas, The entire Encyclopedia
Britannica is banned in Texas
because it contains a formula for
making beer at home.
In
St. Louis, it is unlawful to
provide beer to elephants.

Look,
ossifer, I can TOTALLY hold onto
the ground!
