Stupid State Laws - South Dakota

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):

South Dakota

"It is illegal to lie down and fall asleep in a cheese factory."

There is only one thing I really want to know about this law.  Was it created because an employee went to sleep on the job?  Or did a random drunk hobo wander into a cheese factory and pass out on the floor?  I really hope it's the second one because that would be hilarious.  Imagine being a cheese factory worker the day a smelly homeless dude opened the door, walked to the middle of the factory, pissed himself, burped, probably vomited, laid down in his own puke, scratched himself, farted, and then started counting sheep until he was asleep.  What would you do?  Would you kick him while he was asleep?  Or would you wuss out and tell a manager?  Either way, I really hope they made this law because of wandering inebriated vagrants.

"Well, she's asleep but she isn't lying down.  What do we do in this situation, rookie?"
"Knock her over and arrest her?"
"I taught you well."
