Very AWKWARD Laws
« on: May 14, 2005, 04:44:58 AM »
I was watching a political program and came across a segment that dealt with strange laws. I found some humorous, others strange, and some ridiculous.

Here are a few from a website http://www.dumblaws.com
Feel free to post any dumb laws you read or come across.

Quote
State of Minnesota Laws: (Yvn, take note)
*It is illegal to sleep naked.
*Citizens may not enter Wisconsin with a chicken on their head.
*It is illegal to stand around any building without a good reason to be there.

New York Laws (Susia watch out)
*A fine of $25 can be levied for flirting. This old law specifically prohibits men from turning around on any city street and looking \"at a woman in that way.\" A second conviction for a crime of this magnitude calls for the violating male to be forced to wear a \"pair of horse-blinders\" wherever and whenever he goes outside for a stroll.
*The penalty for jumping off a building is death.
*While riding in an elevator, one must talk to no one, and fold his hands while looking toward the door.
*Slippers are not to be worn after 10:00 P.M.
*Carmel Laws: A man can\'t go outside while wearing a jacket and pants that do not match.
* Women may go topless in public, providing it is not being used as a business.

New Jersey Laws
*It is against the law for a man to knit during the fishing season.
*It is against the law to \"frown\" at a police officer.
*All cats must wear three bells to warn birds of their whereabouts.
*It is illegal to get drunk and annoy others in your house.

Maryland Laws
*Oral sex can not be given or received anywhere. (married couples, take note)
*It is a park rule violation to be in a public park with a sleeveless shirt. $10 fine. This would include joggers that go shirtless
*You may not curse inside the city limits.
*Persons may not swear while on the highway.

Oregon Laws
*It is illegal to whisper \"dirty\" things in your lover\'s ear during sex.
*It is against the law for animals to have sex in the city limits.

See me see wahala!!!!, whose business is it how I end up in my bed every night, I guess if a cop happens to enter my room and I don\'t have something on, I go to jail. 8O

I\'ve actually heard about all these stupid laws that Minnesota and some other states have, they even have one that says \"you cannot eat a hamburger on sunday\". Some of these dumb laws come out of lawsuits that were filed in the past, I really doubt that they\'re enforced. For example, there\'s one that \"No Red Cars should drive down lake street\", well, lake street is in uptown, and I lived there for a year, and I have seen so many red cars driving down and even driving by so many cops on that street, and cops didn\'t even care, I\'m sure if cops wanted to be super-jerks, they\'d start enforcing it for fun.

Thanks for the heads up though, I\'ll be very careful from now on before I hit the sack especially.  :roll:   :D
