Stupid State Laws - Georgia 12

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):

Georgia

"Goldfish may not be given away to entice someone to enter a game of bingo."

This law is so stupid, it's funny.  Who cares if you entice people to play bingo by giving away goldfish?  No one.  And for that matter, would you take the goldfish even it was free?  No way, that thing is just going to die in a couple days anyways.  On top of that, if someone is on the fence about playing bingo, I truly don't think a free goldfish is going to be what gets them to buy a card.  Why, Georgia?  Why is this law in existence?  Explain yourself!

"Well, what do we have here?  It looks like we finally nabbed the Goldfish Bingo Bandit.  Isn't that right, rookie?"
"I don't think that's what the law means by goldfish, Sarge."
"Damn it, rookie!  How many times do I have to remind you to leave the thinking to me!"
