Missouri Town Says An Unmarried Couple With Children Can't Live Together

| | Comments (0)

A town in Missouri has stated that a couple with 3 children cannot live together because the mother and father are not married. The town requires a residency permit for homes with more than 3 people living in it. What the fuck? A residency permit? What the hell for? (Link)

I can just imagine it now:
"Hey Bob"
"Howdy Sherriff. What can I do for you?"
"I heard you had twins last week."
"That's correct. Twin boys. Named them Joseph and Jacob."
"Good Christian names. Listen...we have to talk."
"What's the matter?"
"Well seeing how it's you and Ellie and you've already got a little girl, the birth of those twins means you've got 5 people living in your house."
"Right."
"You haven't come by the courthouse to get your permit."
"What permit?"
"The one that lets you have more than 3 people living at your house."
"But three of those people are kids! What the hell?"
"Watch it. Now, I can only give you one week to get the permit before I have to come by and take your house."
"GET THE HELL OFF MY LAND!"
"Bob, don't screw with me. If you don't have that permit in 7 days I'll be back with the deputies and you'll be living in your car. Congratulations on the birth. Good day."

I bet the permit costs $30 or some such to get too.

Yup, thank God for Freedom and the American way.
