Stupid State Laws - Rhode Island 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):

Rhode Island

"It is considered an offense to throw pickle juice on a trolley."

I'm confused.  Very confused.  Now, I can understand why throwing pickle juice on anything wouldn't be the nicest thing to do in the world.  But why specifically a trolley?  Why wouldn't you make it an "offense" to throw pickle juice on anything?  Like a building, a car, or a baby.  Wouldn't that make more sense?  On top of that, is Rhode Island known for their trolleys?  When I picture that state a trolley is not the first thing that pops into mind.  In fact, when I think of Rhode Island nothing comes to mind.  Absolutely nothing.  So maybe trolleys are their thing, it's just that they don't advertise it enough.  In any case, this law is ridiculous and Rhode Island should seriously consider changing it to outlaw throwing pickle juice on more than just trolleys.

"I don't care if you're getting married, the law is the law and I am highly offended about your pickle juice throwing shenanigans.  Get off of this trolley at once!"
