What the fuck?!

I'll start with California first, as so many are from that wacky state. LOL

Chico
Detonating a nuclear device within the city limits results in a $500 fine.

Lodi
It is illegal to own or sell "Silly String".

Lompoc
It is illegal to posses, own or raise roosters. This is considered disturbing the peace.

Los Angeles
It is illegal for a man to beat his wife with a strap wider than 2 inches without her consent.
You cannot bathe two babies in the same tub at the same time.
You may not hunt moths under a street light.
It is illegal to cry on the witness stand.
Toads may not be licked.

Ontario
Roosters may not crow in the city limits.

Pasadena
It is illegal for a secretary to be alone in a room with her boss.

Redlands
Motor vehicles may not drive on city streets unless a man with a lantern is walking ahead of it. (shit!)

San Diego
It is illegal to shoot jackrabbits from the back of a streetcar.
The owners of houses with Christmas lights on them past February second may be fined up to $250.

San Francisco
It is illegal to wipe one's car with used underwear.
Persons classified as "ugly" may not walk down any street.
It is illegal to pile horse manure more than six feet high on a street corner.
Giving or receiving oral sex is prohibited.

Now for Arkansas

The Arkansas River can rise no higher than to the Main Street bridge in Little Rock. (that's pretty damn high, and would probably flood out the entire city)

A man can legally beat his wife, but not more than once a month.

Oral sex is considered to be sodomy.

No person shall be permitted under any pretext whatever, to come nearer then fifty feet of any door or window of any polling room, from the opening of the polls until the certification of the returns. -Arkansas Law, section 4761 (kinda makes it difficult to vote, doesn't it?)

Little Rock

Flirtation between men and women on the streets of Little Rock may result in a 30-day jail term

It might also interest you to know that the phrase "rule of thumb" comes from a common "law" that a man couldn't beat his wife with a stick bigger around than his thumb. Every time somebody throws that phrase around I just want to scream.

Don't you think *rampant sarcasm here* it was so nice of our forefathers to write all those laws to protect us from ourselves? :rolleyes:

Pepin
 
Well, I like to break the rules...I'm going to do some research...LOL

Ok...here are some dumb Minnesota Laws:

*A person may not cross state lines with a duck atop his head. (Whew! Glad I know this...that was the next thing I was going to do today...)

*It is illegal to sleep naked. (Shit...I belong in prison)

*All men driving motorcycles must wear shirts. (Guess it's ok for women?)

*Citizens may not enter Wisconsin with a chicken on their head. (That's ok, I don't go to Wisconsin...damn cheeseheads)

*Oral sex is prohibited. (Oh kay...I guess I'm a criminal)

*All bathtubs must have feet. (Nope...I don't see any feet)


Hibbing

It shall be the duty of any policeman or any other
officer to enforce the provisions of this Section, and if any cat is found running at large, or which is found in any street, alley or public place, it shall be the duty
of any policeman or other officer of the city to kill
such cat. (glad I'm not a cat...or a police officer)

Minneapolis

Red cars can not drive down Lake Street (Yeah right!)

St. Cloud

Hamburgers may not be eaten on Sundays. (I'm sure that's just so the college students don't upset their stomachs-it's tough eating anything after a hard week of drinking)

In Kansas

When two trains meet on a track, both must stop and may not proceed until the other is gone.

Of even more recent vintage - It is illegal to drive without a seatbelt, in fact, you may be detained and searched for not wearing it. But a motorcyclist is free to go about helmet free.
