We have all heard of some pretty silly laws. Here are twenty-five of the
craziest I have ever heard of. (With the exception of #25, I think it is an
unwritten law everywhere...) |
- In Bozeman, Montana, a law prohibits all sexual activity from the front yard of a home after sundown.
- In Salt Lake County, Utah, it's illegal to walk down the street carrying a violin in a paper bag.
- In San Francisco, it's illegal to pile horse manure more than six feet high on a street corner.
- In Devon, Texas, it is against the law to make furniture while you are nude.
- In Oklahoma, you can be arrested for making ugly faces at a dog. ( What if it's an ugly dog...?)
- In California it is illegal for a vehicle without a driver to exceed 60 miles per hour.
- In Florida men seen publicly in any kind of strapless gown can be fined.
- In South Carolina it is legal to beat your wife on the court house steps on Sundays.
- In Tennessee, you are breaking the law if you drive while sleeping...
- In New York, the penalty for jumping off a building is: Death. ( Go figure...)
- In Danville, Pennsylvania, all fire hydrants must be checked one hour before all fires.
- In Pennsylvania, it's against the law to tie a dollar bill on a string on the ground and pull it away when someone tries to pick it up.
- In New York City, it's illegal for a restaurant to call a sandwich a "corned beef sandwich" if it's made with white bread and mayonnaise. ( I agree 100%! )
- In California it is illegal to set a mouse trap without a hunting license.
- In France, it is against the law to sell an "E.T" doll. They have a law forbidding the sale of dolls that do not have human faces.
- In Athens, Greece, a driver's license can be taken away if the driver is thought to be either "poorly dressed" or "unbathed"
- In Calgary Alberta, there is still a by-law that requires businesses within the city to provide rails for tying up horses.
- In Wilbur, Washington, it is illegal to ride an ugly horse. ( but can you make faces at him? )
- In Louisiana, biting someone with your natural teeth is considered "simple assault," but biting someone with your dentures is "aggravated assault."
- In the state of Washington, it is illegal to have sex with a virgin under any circumstances. (Including the wedding night.)
- In Switzerland, it is illegal for a man to relieve himself while standing up after 10pm.( even with the light on? )
- In Florida, it is illegal to fart in a public place after 6 P.M. on Thursdays.
- In Massachusetts, it is illegal to go to bed without first having a bath. (However, another law prohibits bathing on Sunday)
- In Jidda, Saudi Arabia, women were banned from using hotel swimming pools in 1979.
- In Samoa, it's a crime to forget your own wife's birthday...
