Sometimes in one of the papers that Brad gets - they have a list of Dumb Laws that still exist. Here are a few from some States:

Alabama
~It is illegal to wear a fake moustache that causes laughter in church.
~Women are able to retain all property they owned prior to marriage in the case of divorce. However, this provision does not apply to men.
~It is illegal for a driver to be blindfolded while operating a vehicle.


Colorado
~Throwing missles at cars is illegal.
~It is illegal to ride a horse while under the influence.
~It is unlawful to lend your vacuum cleaner to your next-door neighbor. (Denver)


Florida
~The state constitution allows for freedom of speech, a trial by jury, and pregnant pigs to not be confined in cages.
~It is illegal to sell your children. (does this mean it's legal in some States?)
~If an elephant is left tied to a parking meter, the parking fee has to be paid just as it would for a vehicle.

Idaho
~Residents may not fish from a giraffe’s back. (Boise)
~A person may not be seen in public without a smile on their face. (I don't think this is a dumb law - this law should be worldwide!)


Kansas
~Pedestrians crossing the highways at night must wear tail lights.
~Rabbits may not be shot from motorboats.
~The state game rule prohibits the use of mules to hunt ducks.


Minnesota
~A person may not cross state lines with a duck atop his head.
~It is illegal to sleep naked. (who gets to check this one?)
~Hamburgers may not be eaten on Sundays. (St. Cloud - so do all the fast food resteraunts close on Sunday?)


Utah
~Birds have the right of way on all highways.
~It is considered an offense to hunt whales.
~No one may have sex in the back of an ambulance if it is responding to an emergency
call.

Wisconsin
~Whenever two trains meet at an intersection of said tracks, neither shall proceed until the other has. (what?)
~It is illegal to cut a woman’s hair.
~Tattooing is illegal unless it is done for medical purposes. (Brookfield)

For next week I'll find some dumb Canadian Laws - I know there have to be some!!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

  12. What's scary is that these laws had to have been created because someone DID tie an elephant to a parking meter or tried to fish from the back of a giraffe, lol....voila, the dumb law was born!

    By the way, I'm from Idaho and I'd really love to see the police enforce that smile law ;)
