Stupid State Laws - Florida 10

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):

Florida

"A special law prohibits unmarried women from parachuting on Sunday or she shall risk arrest, fine, and/or jailing."

I totally understand this one.....oh wait, no I don't, this is stupid.  Unmarried women?  Only Sundays?  Is this a Bible Belt thing?  Sure, banning alcohol sales on Sundays (aka the Day of the Lord) kind of makes sense, but even then, most Bible Belt states don't even do that anymore.  So, why can't an unmarried woman parachute on Sundays?  Honestly, I don't know what makes less sense, the unmarried part or the Sunday part, both are equally baffling.  If I had to guess, a lawmaker's mistress was a big parachuting enthusiast but could only go on Sundays.  One day, the mistress broke off their adulteress affair and the lawmaker took his revenge by banning her from enjoying her one love.  Otherwise, this law seems highly pointless.  Fucking Florida and its stupid laws.

"Rookie, whose bright idea was it to arrest this criminal in the act?"
"Yours, sir."
"Oh yeah.  Next time remind I'm afraid of heights before we jump out of an airplane."
"This is so awesome, sire!"
"Shut up, rookie."
