Are you from Tennessee? Because you’re the only 10 I see. Sorry, I’ve just been waiting to use that pickup line forever. OK I used it once and it didn’t work. MOVING ON.

In Tennessee it’s illegal for kids to hold hands while at school. We wonder though, is it OK if they’re related? What if they love each other like kinfolks are wont to do in Tennesses, but they want to share their Netflix password with each other? That’s illegal too? Sheesh! Well fine!

And apparently it’s illegal to eat roadkill there, which seems pretty dumb because I have heard of some fine recipes for smushed possum that came out of Tennessee. It’s also illegal to dare a minor to purchase beer, because that is the type of thing the legislature really needs to concern itself with. Why? Because Tennessee.
