Ran across another silly law today. I recently discovered beer batter-fried vegetables taste mighty good. So this teetotaller went out and bought some beer. Well, my first 6-pack finally ran out so I went out today to get another, and the person manning the check-out counter at the supermarket was a high-school girl … and she had to call over someone to run the beer across the laser-reader!

I can understand how that law came about – we dont want our minors getting drunk or anything – but to not being able to hold the beer in a position for the computer to read … thats getting rediculous … So she had to call an older employee over to sell me the beer.
