Stupid State Laws - Washington 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):

Seattle, Washington

"Women who sit on men's laps on buses or trains without placing a pillow between them face an automatic six-month jail term."

Once again, Washington, you and your silly laws.  I don't know what I think is dumber - that this is a law at all or that the penalty is SIX MONTHS IN JAIL!  Okay, clearly it's the second thing.  You can go to jail for this?  WHY?!?  I can only come up with one reason, sitting on pervert's boner without a pillow would hurt said pervert's woody and therefore a woman should be jailed for it.  Wait, that makes even less sense.  Shouldn't the man go to jail for being a pervert?  Yes, he definitely should.  Damn it, Washington, what in the hell do you do all day besides think of more and more ridiculous laws to make?  Apparently nothing.

"Well, they may not be on a bus, but that man is clearly suffering.  Throw her in lockup!"
