Other than WV jokes... (Charleston, Man: tax, legal, garden)

[harborlady]

I hope this thread serves as a clearinghouse of dumb stuff that happens in other states. Let it serve to remind WV'ns that no state has the exclusive claim to soft in the head, wackaloon, or garden variety stupidity.

Once it's all full up, anytime someone wants to sling some badmouthing around in the forum, you can give them the one answer reply- this link.

California has received it's initial stimulus package, a magnanimous $100,000 grant, from mexicans who chose to remain anonymous.
Now that is what I call a stimulus package!

So if it's illegal to sell "illegal" drugs, why is it legal to tax them??? How do you tax something you aren't supposed to have? If you go to the state and ask for a tax stamp, are you placed under arrest? They must have some really dumb "Unlicenced Pharmaceutical distributors" in those states!

Ok, Not one of his finer moments for sure. ( I still think he needs to kick tail on wall street though- he did well there)

OK, this is a WV occurrence but true story that needs to be shared:

Man buried in his pickup truck in Clay County:

Friends and relatives of Albert Dancy Jr., who was killed in February, watch as his casket is eased into the bed of his ‘67 Chevy pickup that was then buried in Clay County. Dancy always told his son, Adam, that he wanted to be buried in his truck. (Courtsey Photo/Charleston Daily Mail) Hur Herald

Comical Vec, but the purpose of this thread is to display the oddities and stupidity that regularly occurs outside these hills, not inside. I think enough people get to advertise soft in the head as if it were representing WV, but equal time for the rest of the world beyond appalachia is the purpose of this thread.
