For the most part, most of us are good citizens and try to stay out of trouble with the law. No one wants to go through the hassle and embarrassment of going to jail, gathering bail money, and hiring an overpriced, underhanded lawyer. And don’t forget the court process where, depending on the offense, you could end up with even more jail time, not to mention a financial blow and all the shame.
And yet, there are few of us who haven’t broken some law at some point in our lives. There are so many rules, it’s nearly impossible not to. Maybe it was just an infraction as minor as driving 5 miles over the speed limit. Or perhaps you innocently threw out some junk mail addressed to someone else that came to your house, committing a federal offense that could land you in prison for 5 years. Or maybe you put your donkey in a bathtub which is a crime in the state of Georgia.
I know it sounds crazy, but I can understand someone wanting to lather up a stinky donkey. However, it’s perfectly legal to let your dirty burro stand in your tub in Arizona if you don’t let them go to sleep. That makes good legal sense because a donkey nodding off in a bathtub could lead to disastrous results.
Up in Massachusetts, people don’t allow donkeys in their tubs because it’s illegal in their state to go to bed without taking a bath. Donkeys are allowed in bathtubs in South Carolina, but your horse must take his bubble bath elsewhere unless you want to be hit with a large fine accompanied by a criminal record.
