how odd (and stupid) the american government is
I found a list of rather funny laws in some states in america and thought i would share them.
- It is legal to drive the wrong way down a one-way street if you have a lantern attached to the front of your automobile.
- Boogers may not be flicked into the wind.
- You may not wear blue jeans down Noble Street.
- Dominoes may not be played on Sunday.
- It is illegal to wear a fake moustache that causes laughter in church. [I find this one particulraly hilarious]
- It is illegal for a husband to beat his wife with a stick larger in diameter than his thumb [meaning he can beat his wife with a stick with a diameter smaller than his thumb?!]
- It is illegal to sell peanuts in Lee County after sundown on Wednesday
-It is considered an offense to open an umbrella on a street, for fear of it spooking horses [where else are you supposed to open it?]
- It is unlawful to howl at ladies inside the city limits
- You may not have an ice cream cone in your back pocket at any time.
- Kangaroos are not allowed in barber shops at any time [because kangaroo regularly walk in for a quick wash and trim...]
- Donkeys cannot sleep in bathtubs [!?!?!]
- There is a possible 25 years in prison for cutting down a cactus.
- Alligators may not be kept in bathtubs.
- Peacocks have the right of way to cross any street, including driveways.
- Nobody is allowed to ride a bicycle in a swimming pool.
- It is illegal to drive more than two thousand sheep down Hollywood Boulevard at one time
- In California, community leaders passed an ordinance that makes it illegal for anyone to try and stop a child from playfully jumping over puddles of water. [cute!]
- In Riverside, California, kissing on the lips, unless both parties wipe their lips with carbonized rose water, is against the local health ordinance.
- It is illegal to eat an orange in your bath tub
- San Francisco: Prohibits elephants from strolling down Market Street unless they are on a leash
- A pickle is not officially a pickle unless it bounces
- You may not educate dogs.
- If an elephant is left tied to a parking meter, the parking fee has to be paid just as it would for a vehicle.
- In Florida it is illegal to fish while driving across a bridge.
- It is illegal to sing in a public place while attired in a swimsuit.
- It is illegal to fart in a public place after 6:00pm on a Thursday.
- It is illegal to eat cottage cheese on Sunday after 6:00 P.M.
As you can see, I found something very productive to do!
