Okay on a radio station here in town the DJ was telling some stupid laws that exist. One she said about cracked me up:"Ugly people who live in New Hampshire are not allowed to walk down any city street." Seriously, think an update on this law is needed?? LoLA new law in texas "Any person that's going to commit a crime needs to give a 24 hour notice in writing on why the crime needs to be committed" That's just..well..you know LoL.One law I remember, not sure if it's still active but "It's illegal to ride a Donkey down Main Street on Election Day"Just curious what other Stupid Laws others heard of.

you need to head over here. and look at the laws. Look into south dakota where i three or more indians enter town together theyare to be considered a war party and fired upon. Its got links for all the states so you can see what sort of idiots afected your states history.heres some lovely ones you have to follow Eddie....Women are prohibited from wearing patent leather shoes in public.It is illegal to fish for whales on Sunday.It is illegal to get a fish drunk.The Ohio driver's education manual states that you must honk the horn whenever you pass another car.Participating or conducting a duel is prohibited.Breast feeding is not allowed in public.No one may be arrested on Sunday or on the Fourth of July.And here is some of the brilliance shined upon the state o Utah where I reside......It is against the law to fish from horseback.It is illegal not to drink milk.It is illegal to detonate any nuclear weapon.Birds have the right of way on all highways.A husband is responsible for every criminal act committed by his wife while she is in his presence.It is a felony to persistently tread on the cracks between paving stones on the sidewalk of a state highway.It's legal for restaurants to serve wine with meals, but only if you ask for the wine list.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.Alcohol may not be sold during an emergency.Isnt this a great country? Im suprised we are not still using stone tools while the rest of the world lives in technology age.

Yes, because Europe has much more sophisticated laws like if there are no toilets around you can piss in a police officer's hat.

well shit they arrest me here for that, Im moving to europe

State Island, NY~It is illegal for a father to call his son a "faggot" or "queer" in an effort to curb "girlie behavior."
I actually like that law and think all states should adopt it. But that's just me. -
I suspect most of these "stupid laws" are cases of not letting the truth get in the way of a good story. Old local small-town ordinances, long since sunsetted out, are presented as if they are still valid and as if they apply everywhere.A lot of them also look like someone's interpretation of a silly possible application of the law, rather than the law itself.

I can see that for some of them, but some also include details if you click the button next to it. Most are outdated and probally had a real reason at one time however look at utah and see that no fishing for whales, Utah is a land locked state and there is no damned sealife here, so where did whales enter ito it to begin with?
-
I think stupid laws like these were just put out because of some dumbass's complaint or a ridiculous lawsuit, so the just print a really dumb law to shut whoever up.

Perhaps it was a way of supporting a ban on whaling - perhaps if a Utah person served on a whaling vessel he/she could be prosecuted on returning home?I like "Women are prohibited from wearing patent leather shoes in public". I knew a woman whose Catholic school banned patent leather shoes for girls. Apparently the theory was that boys could see the girls' knickers reflected in the shiny leather. It's never worked for me!

Ya know it never occured to me to try that out?
Ill start watching the christmas shoppers with thier snow boots downtown, alot of then are shiney, maybe I can sneak a peek? Of course if my girl catches me looking ill be denutted so its probaly best if I forget this whole thing.
Interesting idea about the whaling law too. I wish that one had more detail about it its beginning to bother the shit out of me
