I have watched for dumb laws for a while. I have seen a lot of them. Don’t put an animal on your head, don’t Jay walk on Sundays of the full moon, don’t wear your pants on backwards. Hey – It’s could happen that you just so broke a Dumb law.
If you haven’t been to Dumb Laws, then you should pack the kids up in the internet vehicle and see what you can or cannot do in your State. You will be surprised what you might not be able to do.
For this, we did stick in the US. Not to say there are not dumb laws in other countries. Don’t think just because you live in Australia, means that you have perfect laws.
Still, todays’ post, we decided to highlight 15 laws. Whether they are the top dumb ones or not, it doesn’t matter. What does matter is that people think that these were smart ideas at the time.
No random order:
Indiana – Hotel sheets must be exactly 99 inches long and 81 inches wide.
Can you say “Hospital Corners”
Texas – Beer may not be purchased after midnight on a Sunday, but it may be purchased on Monday.
If you gotta think about this, then you need to stop drinking. Bottom line, you cannot purchase Beer for a whole second.
Connecticut – It is illegal to dispose of used razor blades.
So what do you do with the razor blades? Turn it into a mobile? Maybe a Kids playhouse? Oh look – Johnny lost an ear. How cute…
Oregon – No person may allow his dead dog’s carcass to remain on public property.
Where’s Rowdy?!? (Scrubs reference)
Colorodo – One may not mutilate a rock in a state park.
How do you mutilate a rock? What do they call mutilation? I could urinate on it and that could be mutilation. If a bird poops on a rock, do they get in trouble?
Louisiana – Persons could land in jail for up to ten years for stealing an alligator.
That is, if they haven’t lost an arm or leg stealing the alligator in the first place.
Michigan – It is illegal to let your pig run free in Detroit unless it has a ring in its nose.
Just one piercing? That doesn’t sound right. What about tattoos?
Alabama – Boogers may not be flicked into the wind.
I did that once. Once. (Johnny Dangerously reference)
Iowa – One-armed piano players must perform for free.
Well at least they have one arm.
New Jersey – It is illegal to wear a bullet-proof vest while committing a murder.
If the vest don’t fit, you must acquit.
Hawaii – Coins are not allowed to be placed in one’s ears.
This is actually a tragic story. Little Johnny lost half of his face when Bop-o the clown tried a magic trick that went awry.
Florida – It is illegal to sell your children.
Yes. Trade them in for 18 year old females. Oh wait. You can’t do that either? Well that sucks.
Mississippi – Exterior burglar bars which are viewable from the street are not allowed.
At first I thought they meant Taverns, but in reading again, this might not be a stupid law. They just want to make things look pretty.
South Carolina – It is perfectly legal to beat your wife on the court house steps on Sundays.
God bless America and all that is holy.
Nevada – It is illegal to drive a camel on the highway.
See, even in Nevada, you can’t do things. Besides, Camels know how to count cards and the Casinos won’t let them in anyway because of that.
