Stupid State Laws - Florida 9

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):

Florida

"It is illegal to sell ice cream in a cemetery."

I can kind of see why this should be illegal, but at the same time, ice cream is comfort food and who needs some comfort more than people who just lost a loved one.  Then again, I do find it hilarious that ice cream vendors got so out of line in cemeteries that they had to outlaw it.  Seriously, you really have to be a huge dick if you complain to your local lawmaker about someone selling ice cream in a cemetery.  The guy or gal is just trying to make a little money.  What I want to know is if the ice cream vendors just set up shop across the street from the cemeteries after this law was made.  For some reason, that would make me laugh.  Stupid Florida.

"What do you mean you didn't know it was against the law to sell ice cream in a cemetery?  Rookie, show him your law book."
"Uh Sarge, I don't have a law book."
"WHAT?!?  Why not?"
"They don't give them to rookies.  And, uh, Sarge, the perp is getting away."
"Oh well, let's go take pot shots at some gators.  Hit the siren, rookie."
