Stupid State Laws - West Virginia 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):

Huntington, West Virginia

"Firemen may not whistle or flirt at any woman passing a firehouse."

While this might be a chivalrous law, West Virginia left themselves a massive loophole.  It only prevents firemen from whistling and flirting with women passing a "firehouse".  What about anywhere else?  What if they take their fire engine for a ride and start cat-calling at women?  Nothing against that.  What about if they walk next door and suggest doing crude things to women in front of the police station?  It's perfectly in their rights.  Good job, West Virginia, you almost came up with a decent law but totally blew it in the wording.

"I'm not sure if this counts, Mike."
"Shut up, rookie and cuff that bastard."
