If he moves to Virginia, it could happen. The VA state legislature has proposed outlawing people sleeping anywhere in their homes other than their bedrooms.

I never sleep in a bed,

You have sex in a bed

You sleep on the sofa, floor or Kitchen sink after you've had a skinfull, which in my case is every night.

Virginia vergin' on the ridiculous there. What could be the rationale for such an intrusion into an individual's liberty, in the home of the brave and free? Are you serious Ciara? The prisons will be full of people dozing off in front of the late movie or watching videos of the TSM season (which should be illegal in itself).

LOL, Jonno. VA's rationale is that too many people are "turning their homes into boarding houses" allowing folks to sleep in living rooms, etc. Though much has been made of some quote about "20 people living in someone's kitchen" or somesuch. The radio stations have been having quite a laugh about it today.

The point VA is totally ignoring is the reason people are turning living rooms, etc into bedrooms. Housing costs are ridiculously high in northern VA(DC and high tech corridor). Putting 4 or 5 people in a 1 or 2 bedroom apt is the only way the average person can afford to live a reasonable distance from work. It's also quite common in NYC and Boston for the same reason.
