There Actually Isn't a Law 

Wisconsin towns have some weird laws... but apparently this isn't one of them:

So I'm watching TV the other night. Wish I could say it was "Masterpiece Theatre," but it was a show on VH1 called "The Love Lounge" with a bunch of B-list celebrities sitting around talking about sex.

Just before cutting to a commercial, they flash a strange sex law on the screen, and I notice it's from Connorsville, Wis.

They're telling cable America that in Connorsville it's illegal for a man to shoot a gun while his female partner is having an orgasm.

Was this a serious nuisance in Connorsville? And when they say gun... did they mean a firearm, or was this a euphemism for his... well... you know? And what about the woman? Does this mean that she's allowed to fire a gun while she's climaxing? I'd hate to think where she'd be aiming. Guys mostly have practice aiming their guns after all. And what if it's two guys together? Is it then alright for either one of them to be shooting off? OK, maybe that was a poor choice of words. The people of Connorsville probably thought that homosexuals are too prissy to actually own guns, so really there's no need to worry about them.

Actually the people of Connorsville made no such law. It's a hoax... but a damn funny one. Sometimes when you see those screwed up laws on the internet, they actually aren't true. But Jim Stingl does have a lot of fun asking around about this law trying to find out if its true.
