Stupid/Weird Laws...

[miniskawhirl]

So, I stumbled across a site that shows laws that are still in effect to this day dumb laws . in chicago alone there's

1.)All businesses entering into contracts with the city must sift through their records and report any business they had dealing with slaves during the era of slavery.
2.)Law forbids eating in a place that is on fire.
3.)It is illegal to give a dog whiskey.
4.)It is forbidden to fish while sitting on a giraffe's neck.
5.)Kites may not be flown within the city limits.
6.)In the Pullman area, it is illegal to drink beer out of a bucket while sitting on the curb.
7.)It is legal to protest naked in front of city hall as long as you are under seventeen years of age and have legal permits.

Now, I didnt wanna go through every state and find dumb laws so I thought I'd ask everyone, what are some dumb laws in your state?

That is such a pedo rule.

Anyway I found these:

"Donkeys cannot sleep in bathtubs." (Arizona)

"A person may not be seen in public without a smile on their face." (Idaho)

"It is illegal to sleep naked." (Minnesota)

"When being attacked by a criminal or burglar, you may only protect yourself with the same weapon that the other person posseses." (Arizona)

"You may not have more than two dildos in a house." (Arizona)

"A fine of $25 can be levied for flirting." (New York)

"It is illegal for women to stand within five feet of a bar while drinking." (Wyoming)

"Children may smoke, but they may not purchase cigarettes." (Massachusetts)

"One may be jailed for wearing a hat while dancing, or even for wearing a hat to a function where dancing is taking place" (North Dakota)

I found countless more but let's just start out with these.

It's legal to have a duel at the Boston Commons on Sunday if the Governor is present, and all men must carry a rifle to church in Massachusetts.
