Milwaukee

I had thought I posted this when we announced we were moving, but just saw that it was a draft still!! When I was researching Milwaukee, this was the stuff I found. I love weird laws.

Some brief facts about Wisconsin . . .
1. Average temp in the Summer: 64-80°F
2. Average temp in the Winter: 16-29°F
3. Population (Wisconsin): 5,711,767 (source: U.S. Census, July 2011)
4. Population (Milwaukee): 597,867 (source: U.S. Census, July 2011)
4. State Capitol: Madison
5. Basketball team: Milwaukee Bucks
6. Baseball team: Milwaukee Brewers
7. Football team: Greenbay Packers (it's really the Milwaukee Badgers, but we all know it's really the Packers!)
8. Closest temple: Chicago, Illinois (about 2 hours)
9. Church members in Wisconsin: 25, 686
10. Dunkin Donuts? YES! Right down from the station!

After reading some of these weird laws, all I wanted to know is what does Wisconsin have against margarine??

Weird laws in Wisconsin:
- While all cheese making requires a license, Limburger cheese making requires a master cheese maker’s license.
- It is illegal to kiss on a train.
- Margarine may not be substituted for butter in restaurants unless it is requested by the customer.
- As people used to smuggle it in from Illinois, all yellow butter substitute is banned.
- At one time, margarine was illegal.
- State Law made it illegal to serve apple pie in public restaurants without cheese.
- You are not allowed to put litter into someone else’s trash receptacle without express permission.
- Tattooing is illegal unless it is done for medical purposes.
- Condoms were considered an obsene article and had to hidden behind the pharmacist’s counter.
