Stupid State Laws - Nebraska

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):

Nebraska

"If a child burps during church, his parent may be arrested."

I love the wording of this stupid law.  First it says "a child" and then refers to that child as a he by using the pronoun "his".  In other words, they have created a nasty little loophole in that law because any lawyer of the parents of a little girl accused of burping in church would tear that thing apart.  On top of that, what exactly constitutes a "child"?  Is there an age limit?  Does it include toddlers?  And most importantly, is there a law that makes it illegal for adults to burp in church?  I think that question needs to be answered before they start arresting people.

"It's a good thing Barney isn't a child or a big churchgoer."
