Stupid State Laws - Connecticut 3

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):

Hartford, Connecticut

"You may not educate dogs."

A couple of weeks ago it was that dogcatchers had to post notices for the dogs they were going to catch, this week, you can't educate your dog.  America really has something against man's best friend.  Why can't you educate your dog?  It's not like you can teach your little buddy quantum physics or Shakespeare.  The best you can hope for is that your furry pal will sit on command.  My only guess as to why this law exists is that some evil mastermind was teaching an army of strays to attack humans.  Sure, that could be dangerous, but still, it's a dog, one good kick to the face and it will back down.  Damn it Connecticut, lay off dogs.

"Cuff'em rookie, this little guy was trying to learn.  Now all he'll be learning is how to count the bars of his cell."
"But doesn't that mean he is still being educated, Sarge?"
"Damn it rookie, why do you always have to be right.  Just break his glasses and let's get out of here."
