Stupid State Laws - Massachusetts

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):

Massachusetts

"At a wake, mourners may eat no more than three sandwiches."

What I love about this law is that it quite possibly might have been made very recently, mostly due to the fact that America is becoming fatter and someone had to find a way to put a stop to it and this is what they came up with.  In fact, it's genius.  Other than Thanksgiving, what other time is it okay to eat a lot and no one will call you a fatso?  The answer is obviously when in mourning.  So, a skinny lawmaker who was tired of seeing fat people riding around on Rascals at Walmart came up with the perfect solution.  Now, if only that same lawmaker could figure out a way to outlaw Big Gulps and the KFC Double Down and he might finally solve the "Fat America" problem.

"That better only be your second sandwich, Big Sully or I'm calling the cops."
