blue law here in Alabama, all establishments selling alcohol have to shut down by midnight Saturday night and can't reopen until at least noon on Sunday. In Cullman every public store besides gas stations are to shut don by midnight Saturday night and can only be open from 9am to 9pm on Sundays. Cullman is a dry county so we have no alcohol sales laws. some places follow this law and some don't. I know in Decatur the beer stores stay open when they want to but in Warrior they follow the law.

Illuminated letter You are deaf and are breaking the law if:
You wore a hearing aid while boarding an airplane, in the Year 1958! It was against Federal regulations for air passengers to wear hearing aids while riding on an airplane. Fortunately the law was repealed in 1959.
