Stupid State Laws - Wisconsin 7

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):

Racine, Wisconsin

"It is illegal to wake a fireman when he is asleep."

Wisconsin, you truly are amazing.  Do you want every one of your buildings to burn down?  Because the last time I checked, a fire can only be put out be conscious firemen.  Sure, you could hedge your bets and hope a couple of these brave men are awake when a fire breaks out, but what if all of the local crew is dead asleep because it is the middle of the night?  What then?  Well, I'll tell you what will happen, everything will burn!  Come on, Wisconsin, do you not even think before you make your laws anymore?  Of course you don't, otherwise you would have seen the stupidity behind this one.  Idiots.

"I wasn't trying to wake him up, I was making sure he wasn't dead.  Is that a crime, officer?"
"I don't think so, but you better believe it will be soon, you sneaky bastard."
