I received the most entertaining e-mail from a reader today, in relation to my article about America:

I wonder if you can help me with a question that has been give to me? In order for a pickle to be officially considered a pickle in Connecticut, what must it be able to do? If you have any information that can help me with this I would be most grateful.

Believe it or not, there was information floating around the Internet about a law in Connecticut stating: In order for a pickle to officially be considered a pickle, it must bounce. I’m unsure if the law is still in effect, or if it was a fluke in a previous century.

 

I learn something every day…
