I hate when people say, “You can’t make this shit up,” because if you have any imagination at all you can make anything up. But here’s one for the so-called books, if you will (or even if you won’t):

Blue laws in Bergen County, New Jersey, prohibit the purchase of bath towels and air conditioners on Sunday.

I shit you not. This information was related to me by a stunned boyfriend who just returned from Costco after a trip there to buy his beloved (that would be yours truly) an air conditioner so she doesn’t have to suffer the swelter for longer than she had sentenced herself.
Color me baffled, damn it all to hell (which would be my apartment sans air conditioner! LOLz!)!
