I remember hearing that in my state of Victoria, Australia, bars are still required to stable, water and feed the horses of their patrons.

Also, that website claims that in Australia it is illegal to roam the streets wearing black clothes, felt shoes and black shoe polish on your face as these items are the tools of a cat burglar and only an licensed electrician is able to change a light bulb

-Margarine may not be substituted for butter in restaurants unless it is requested by the customer. < That one was always my favourite. The fatty wisconsinites need their butter, and they demand it be real. lol
More about butter:
-As people used to smuggle it in from Illinois, all yellow butter substitute is banned.
-At one time, margarine was illegal.
-Butter substitutes are not allowed to be served in state prisons.
Cheese:
-State Law made it illegal to serve apple pie in public restaurants without cheese.
-While all cheese making requires a license, Limburger cheese making requires a master cheese maker's license.

-Livestock have the right-of-way on public roads.

We like our dairy products in this state, haha.

This one's just really dumb:
-Whenever two trains meet at an intersection of said tracks, neither shall proceed until the other has.
