12. Better lock me up, then!
:P I live about 5 minutes away from Waynesboro, and a) I'm not married and b) even if I were, I seriously doubt my husband would wave a red flag in front of me while I was driving down Main Street. :crazy:

13. I really doubt than very many of those "old dumb laws" are actually still on the books.
Too many of them cited, and way too glib.

15. A lot of the Virginia ones still are, especially the Sodomy Laws
A few years back, and I remember, it was revealed that a man's soon-to-be ex wife had performed fellatio on him during a divorce proceeding.

The judge then locked his ass up for violating this state's sodomy laws..
