Stupid State Laws - New Jersey 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):

New Jersey

"It is against the law for a man to knit during the fishing season."

Huh?  What in the hell does knitting have to do with fishing?  Why exactly would it be 'against the law' to knit during fishing season?  And most importantly, why only men?  Wait, I know that answer - someone has to do the knitting during fishing season and it sure as hell isn't going to be the men of the house, they'll be too busy burning off testosterone and fishing to pick up some knitting needles, so that job will most certainly fall on the women of the house.  But why only during fishing season?  Is that the only time of the year that men figured they could weasel their way out of knitting and then actually found a lawmaker dumb enough to pass a law for them?  Damn it, New Jersey, make some damn sense now and again.

"That look either means he just realized it's fishing season and he's going to jail.  Or it's the look of a child molester.  It really could go either way."
