Dumb Laws

[uspirate]

These are a few examples of some laws that are still in the books.

edit read some of these from Texas then check out your state

It is illegal to take more than three sips of beer at a time while standing.
Up to a felony charge can be levied for promoting the use of, or owning more than six dildos.

I like this one from California

It is a misdemeanor to shoot at any kind of game from a moving vehicle, unless the target is a whale.

Seattle:

• Women who sit on men’s laps on buses or trains without placing a pillow between them face an automatic six-month jail term.
• No one may set fire to another person’s property without prior permission.
• It is illegal to carry a fishbowl or aquarium onto a bus because the sound of the water sloshing may disturb other passengers.

State of WA

• It is illegal to attach a vending machine to a utility pole without prior consent from the utility company.
• No person may walk about in public if he or she has the common cold.
• It is illegal to entice girls away from the Maple Lane School for girls.
• All lollipops are banned.
• A law to reduce crime states: “It is mandatory for a motorist with criminal intentions to stop at the city limits and telephone the chief of police as he is entering the town.

Dumb RI Laws

• It is illegal to coast downhill in your car with your transmission in neutral, or with the clutch disengaged.
• You cannot smoke a pipe after sunset.
• It is illegal to challenge someone to a duel, or accept a duel, even it it is never actually fought. Penalty: Imprisonment for one to seven years
• It is considered an offense to throw pickle juice on a trolley.
• It is illegal to wear transparent clothing.
• You may not sell toothpaste and a toothbrush to the same customer on a Sunday.
• Any marriage where either of the parties is an idiot or lunatic is null and void. -SECTION 11-40-1

I can think of a few Rhode Islanders who are illegally married.

"It is illegal for a man to be sexually aroused in public."

I guess Strip Clubs are considered "private".
