Check it out dude your hometown finally made it on the internet! This turned up in a google search I did, some site about strange laws and stuff, send this to Ed I don’t have his mail add.

No woman may have sex with a man while riding in an ambulance within the boundaries of Tremonton, Utah. If caught, the woman can be charged with a sexual misdemeanor and “her name is to be published in the local newspaper.” The man isn’t charged nor is his name revealed.

later.

I’m not going to post mine because it has my real name and home address on it, but it’s a questionnaire for a travel newsletter that _might_ be about to publish an article I wrote. (Woo HOO!!!)

And yes, I’m extremely glad I got a chance to work that into the conversation somehow.
