Stupid State Laws - Georgia 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):

Georgia

"Model airplanes may be flown so long as they stay on either private property or city property adjacent to the county morgue."

This law makes a lot of sense....until that last part.  You can fly model airplanes on city property adjacent to the county morgue?  In what way does that make sense?  While making this law, who stood up and lobbied for that exception to this law?  I cannot fathom a single reason as to why of all places, you can fly model airplanes "adjacent" to a county morgue.  And what exactly does "adjacent" mean?  I looked it up and I still don't know the answer to that question.  Either way, someone made a really strange call on this law and it baffles me as to why.

"Rookie, did you get that picture of this guy?"
"Yes, Sarge."
"Good, now mace him in the face for breaking the law!"
"That seems a little excessive."
"Don't use fancy words with me, rookie and just do it."
