 Re: blue nose
In the USA, in the past (not so much today, but still a bit), there were laws that prohibited certain businesses from being open on a Sunday. (Some stores, like pharmacies that sold "essential" goods, might be exempt. And some more general stores could open, but could not sell "non-essential merchandise," which the merchants would often cover up with large tarps to signal that those goods were not for sale...)
These laws are called "Blue Laws." |
