No, but I agree that they are pointless and ridiculous (at least the No 
Booze on Sunday rule).  But if you want to get into silly laws, how about 
the one that makes it illegal for liquor stores to actually call 
themselves Liquor Stores?  Ever notice the prevalence of "package stores" 
around these parts?
