Holy sticky mess melting down my leg Batman!
According to New York City law, a person may not walk around on Sundays with an ice cream cone in his/her pocket. What prompted this law's enactment?
The answer to this question is obvious. Christians.
While it's common knowledge that religious organizations have no issue with anyone having melted ice cream in their pockets Monday through Saturday, Sunday is God's day. What if a guy was walking past a church on Sunday with his typical ice cream snack in his pocket and felt an urge to worship? It would be inappropriate to have a wet spot on one side of his pants while he was singing hallelujah.
Plus, there's the issue of the sticky trail they would make wherever they walked. (And what if it was chocolate ice cream and people mistook the brown goo for something else!? Eww!)
So to ensure that none of these blunders happen while praisin' Jesus, Christians demanded the lawbooks be changed to ensure that everyone leaves their ice cream in the freezer on the Lord's day.
But of course having it in their pockets any other day is completely kosher. Obviously.
