Stupid State Laws - Maine 2

Here comes another post about a state law that still exists on the books and why it is ridiculous (to see them all, click here):

"You may not step out of a plane in flight."

After doing enough of these posts, I've come to the conclusion that humans are really really stupid.  Seriously, people.  If an airplane is in flight, why in the hell would you want to step out of the plane?  And if the answer is because you are so drunk that you think you have already landed, then lay off the booze.  And if it is because you are tripping your balls off, then don't take a hit of acid right before you board a flight.  It's called common sense, you stupid human race.  And for that matter, why would someone think they need to make this a law?  If someone is dumb enough to leave an airplane while in the air, I think they will be punished enough when they create a human-sized crater soon thereafter.

"Sir, you are going to have to return to your seat.  What do you mean this is your stop?  We are in flight, of course you can't leave now!  That's it, I'm calling my local bureaucrat."
