My friend took this picture today. I googled it, it's true. No clothing, shoes, office furnishings, or appliance sales on Sundays in Bergen County, NJ.

As it should be.

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

I think it stems from prohibitions on most Sunday retail, and was chipped away over time to these items.

Clothing is sinful, because the wish to clothe oneself is an acknowledgement of NAKEDNESS!

Shoes are sinful, because they lead to WALKING, and WALKING LEADS to SIN!

Office furnishings are an unnecessary affectation. Did OUR LORD have office furnishings? Furthermore, office sounds a lot like ORIFICE, and FURNISHED ORIFICES LEAD TO SIN!

I need hardly expand on the notion of home appliances, since they leave people with more free time on the Sabbath, which leads to SEX.

Yeah, we used to have that nonsense up here until about twenty five years ago. When I was a kid the only folks who could operate a business on the "Lord's Day" were Chinese and other Asian immigrants who ran the corner grocery and smoke shops.

Fortunately, we can buy communion wine on Sunday.

All my wine is for communion of one sort or another. Tonight my Zinfandel is communioning with smoked ribs.

Presumably so the salesmen can attend mass.

You are confusing mass with confession.
