Dumb Rhode Island Laws
Rhode Island recently applied to the US Government to make all the coastal waters of Rhode Island a "No Discharge Zone". The ostensible purpose was to prohibit the discharge of sewage by boats into the state`s waters. However, discharge of raw sewage into the state waters was already illegal.

hearing it many times a day. One morning my patience was growing thin

I
looked at him and said, "If you say one more word, I am going to tape
your
mouth more...
