Hmm... i find this thing quite interesting.... have a laugh... or shock maybe... never knew this kind of laws could exist... haha..~
What sort of things are illegal to do in your state? Many states in the union have laws that seem unenforceable, archaic, arcane, strange, or just plain wacky. A few we found particularly odd make up today's ezine:
- In Virginia, it's against the law to have a bathtub inside your home.It's also illegal to visit a cemetery for any other reason than visiting the deceased, a law which begs the question, just what other things would one be doing with the dead in a cemetary, anyway?
- In Illinois, it's illegal to eat in a place that is on fire. It's also illegal for bees to fly over the town or in any of its streets. So, who's gonna cite the bees?
- In Pennsylvania, it's illegal to sing in the bathtub.
- In Kansas, it's agianst the law to practice knife throwing at men in striped suits. I suppose other types of suits are alright, however.
- According to Michigan law, if a man and wife kiss on Sunday, the guilty party shall be punished. It's also illegal to abandon a hoop skirt on any public street or sidewalk, with a penalty of $5 for each offense. And it's against the law for a woman to cut her hair without her husband's permission.
- In Florida, it's illegal for a single, divorced, or widowed woman to parachute on Sunday. It's also against the law to hold a turtle race within the city limits or for rats to leave docked ships. So, who's gonna cite the rats -- the same people who cite the bees in Illinois?
- In Georgia, an ordinance was passed that prohibits saying the phrase "two fried eggs and a fritter for a quarter" in an attempt to prohibit slang talkin'. It's also against the law for chickens to cross streets. One supposes the old joke doesn't apply in Georgia.
- In Minnesota, it's illegal for anyone under the age of 12 to use a telephone without the supervision of an adult.
- In Hawaii, it's illegal to put pennies in your ear, never a good idea, regardless.
- Finally, according to the law in New York City, "it is legal for a woman to ride the subway topless since it is legal for a man to ride the subway topless." However, it's against the law to have an unclothed mannequin in a store window.
That's all..~! Cya all..! =)
