Stupid State Laws - Georgia 14

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):

Columbus, Georgia

"It is illegal for stores to sell corn flakes on Sunday."

Corn flakes, eh?  Not on Sundays, they say?  What?!?  Alcohol?  Sure.  Tobacco?  Makes sense.  Lottery tickets and scratch-offs?  I could see that.  But corn flakes?  That is just dumb.  What if your kid wakes up and wants corn flakes (for whatever reason) before church and you are out of them, what then?  Well, if you live in Georgia, tough luck.  You are going to have to listen to your kid complain throughout the Lord's day because of some stupid law that Georgia passed and for the life of me, I don't know why.  I can't think of a single reason why this is illegal.  Not.  A.  One.  Thanks a lot, Georgia, you've ruined everyone's lives.

"Bust her, rookie."
"Who?  The kid?  I don't think she can even afford cereal, Sarge."
"No, not the kid!  The mom, you idiot!"
"But she's not selling corn flakes, Sarge."
"Oh.  Well, mace her and let's be on our way."
