Laughable Laws and Large Ladies

*An ordinance in Rosette, Utah, prohibits a man from looking at a full-figured woman "in that way" while she's walking down a public street? (Caught a second time, the violator has to "wear horse blinders" for a twenty-four-hour period when out in public.)

*In Hickory Plains, Arkansas, says that no large woman wearing lingerie can be rescued by a fireman. Such a woman must always get fully dressed before she can legally be assisted by a fireman during a fire.

Fireman's Nightmare : Fat Ladies
*Longview, Texas, has a strange piece of antiquated legislation. The law says that no heavy woman who wears "any device or thing attached to her head, hair, headgear or hat, which device or thing is capable of lacerating the flesh of any other person with whom it may come in contact and which is not sufficiently guarded against the possibility of so doing, shall be adjudged a disorderly woman."

*In Rock Springs, Wyoming, once passed this law regarding well-rounded females: No such female "between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one years shall appear in a bathing suit within this community unless she be escorted by at least two officers or unless she be armed with a club."
