    I don't even know how many times I've broken Number 7. I might have done Number 2 a time or two as well.

    Is Number 1 applicable while said women are swimming or showering? Dang, NC must be one lousy place to be a woman.

    Well seeing how I live in NC I can profess they dont enforce Number 1 at all. I dare say you couldnt find 16 yards of cloth on 2o women in 1 room most times.

    You shuld never shoot anything swimming.

    They sell lottery tickets here now for 2 years but it was illegal to possess them before.

    It is illegal to possess fireworks that pop or shoot.

    #8 must be true cause I've never seen an elephant plowing here.

    Liquor at Bingo? Heck Bingo is illegal most places if they pay out and some counties are still dry.

    Its still a great place to live for men and women.

    My sister graduated college and up and moved to NC a few years ago. She was there a year before coming back. (all job related) She loved it there. My ex bro-in-law lived there while in the Army. He hated it.

    I have that same relationship with Cali. Sometimes I love living here. Some I don't.
