The Ligher Side of Cigar Law…

Ok folks as promised here are few of the smoking laws / legal events that make the “lighter side” list… no pun intended.
Illinois State Law:
It is illegal for anyone to give lighted cigars to dogs, cats, and other domesticated animal kept as pets.
What??
What if you’re trying to take a picture of the “Dog’s playing poker” variety??
What if you’re dog is having puppies and you need to celebrate?
This law just seems wrong and unfair to me.
Indiana Court Case:
Back in 1924, a monkey was convicted in South Bend of the crime of smoking a cigarette and sentenced to pay a 25 dollar fine and the trial costs.
… I have nothing to say here - except maybe “Silly Monkey Cigs are for kids!”
Baltimore Police Blotter:
A man placed several cigars on the counter at the 7-Eleven in the 100 block of S. Broadway about 2:20 a.m. Saturday, then displayed a handgun when the clerk opened the cash register to make the sale. The gunman fled with $60 and the cigars.
… well at least he remembered the cigars.
Still there’s not a single tobacco product being sold in 7-Eleven that can truly be considered a cigar.
Not much a crime really.
He’ll have to spend much more than the $60 he took on toothpaste and mouth wash to get the taste of those “stogies” out of his mouth.
Take note kiddies… now-a-days… anything with the word “Blunt” in the name… isn’t really a cigar worth smoking.

“It is illegal for anyone to give lighted cigars to dogs, cats, and other domesticated animal kept as pets.”
LOL … what if they aren’t domesticated? Is it legal to try and give cigars to wild animals? What about strays?
…. and what Indiana prosecutor put a monkey on trial?! What judge didn’t have his license on grounds of insanity?
