Commander Bell Loc: Lafayette Indiana

In 1961 the city of Gainesville Georgia passed a law making it illegal to blank blank blank blank blank blank.
I'm looking forward to our Georgian stages to chime in on this one.
Perhaps you live in, or near Gainesville and know of this law? Also the reason for passing such a wacky law.
I'll post the answer and explanation Sunday night.

I was station at Ft. Stewart Ga. as well as Ft. Benning and I remember talking to some of the guys who lived there for many years. I remember eating lunch one day and an old guy told me it was illegal to eat my chicken with a fork. I challenge him on a bet that was crazy and lost after looking it up. The bet was I detailed his truck and car.

Hey Troyfrd1,
I'll go ahead of schedule and declare you the winner of the Georgia Wacky law trivia.
I hope you did a good job detailing your friend's truck, because it is indeed illegal in Gainesville Georgia to eat fried chicken with a fork.
Gainesville toots itself as the fried chicken capital of the world, and declared it improper etiquette to eat fried chicken with a fork.
The law was inforced only once. A 91 year old woman was charged, but with the understanding that it was intended to be a joke. She was neather fined or jailed.
