Only In Massachusetts

Having solved all the other problems in the state - four Massachusetts State Senators have introduced a bill that would soften the state's beastiality laws.

While the bill would keep bestiality technically illegal, it gives the option of less severe penalties. Previously, those convicted of "a sexual act on an animal" could receive up to 20 years in prison.

This reminds me of a joke:

A Massachusetts State Senator walks into his bedroom where his wife is in bed with a sheep under his arm and says "This is the pig I've been having sex with when you have a headache".
His wife says, "That's not a pig it's a sheep!"
The State Senator says "I was talking to the sheep!"

Only in Massachusetts.
