Stupid Laws (USA First Edition)
« on: January 17, 2002, 03:03:49 PM »
Want some laughs? Check out these stupid laws that are still on the books.


There is in fact an Illinois law that prohibits a number of things, one of which is a public erection, and another one of which is nude dancing. The prohibition against the public erection has never been challenged in the Supreme Court, but the prohibition against nude dancing has.

There is a law on the books of TENNESSEE that says a man must run in front of a vehicle that a woman is driving, and, that the car may not go faster than five miles an hour!

It is illegal for a man to give his sweetheart a box of candy weighing less than fifty pounds in Idaho

In Ohio, if you ignore an orator on Decoration day to such an extent as to publicly play croquet or pitch horseshoes within one mile of the speaker\'s stand, you can be fined $25.00.

In Marshalltown, Iowa, horses are forbidden to eat fire hydrants.

Camels?
Hunting camels is prohibited in Arizona
____________________________________________________

It\'s illegal for frogs to croak after 11 PM in Memphis, Tennessee.

In Louisiana, it is illegal to rob a bank and then shoot at the bank teller with a water pistol.

Joliet, Illinois women can be arrested for trying on more than six dresses in one store.

  Newcastle, Wyoming, specifically bans couples from having sex while standing inside a store\'s walk-in-meat freezer!


Some these are hilarious, and don\'t worry I have many from other countries too.

Don\'t worry, the woman won\'t come near ya cuz she would\'ve already t-boned a truck while on her cell phone :rolleyes:
I bet when the neanderthal kids would make a snowman, someone would always end up saying, \"Don\'t forget the thick, heavy brows.\" Then they would all get embarrassed because they remembered they had the big hunky brows too, and they\'d get mad and eat the snowman.

Well it\'s about damn time someone finally got this law made. We almost had an epidemic on our hands!

That horse thing is BS. :laughing:

"In Yupster Montana, it is illegal to throw popcorn in a movie theater and try to catch it in your mouth."

BTW, I think Yupster has one movie theater. It\'s in Dave\'s house, it\'s called a VCR. :laughing:

Did you know that I think it\'s Thailand it\'s illegal to chew bubble gum?

And I want to say somewhere in Illinois it is illegal to frown because of a big snow storm.

And somewhere in Kentucky you can\'t sleep in a hair salon.

I once started a comedy thread beginning with about three dozen of those silly laws. Too bad I can\'t remember the states which they were in... bah... would be silly to just type the laws.
I did found some pearls though while surfing around the other day...


In Seattle, Washington, it is illegal to carry a concealed weapon that is over six feet in length.

Georgia has (or had?)a law prohibiting people from saying "Oh boy" in public.

In Arizona, you may not have more than two dildos in a house

In fire-sensitive Chicago, it is against the law to eat in an establishment that is on fire.

In Portland, Maine, it\'s illegal to tickle a girl under the chin with a feather duster.

In Seattle, goldfish can ride the city buses in bowls only if they keep still

In New York, it is against the law to throw a ball at someone\'s head for fun.


There\'s tons of this stuff around the \'net. I\'ve been thinking of collecting as much of \'em as possible and adding them to my webpage\'s humor section.
Oh yeah, this is one we finns are very proud of : Donald Duck comics were once banned in Finland because he had no pants. It didn\'t last long though... :p

:laughing: This is worth printing out. This is the first thread I\'m actually printing. These are such stupid laws. Illegal to hunt camels in Arizona? There are no damn camels even in Arizona. That public erection one is stupid. How can a cop tell? "Hey sir, could you please put your hands on the squad car?" "What\'s the charge?" "Having a public erection." Stupid laws but funny as hell.

true I lived there for 3.5 years and I think its a good thing, asians are very nasty/dirty people (Im half asian, so dont take offence :D) and they always spit in fron of your feet (like they do inb Hong Kong)

Some other things that aren\'t allowed

chewing/importing and dropping gum on the streets gum is illegal <-- fine = 10000 SG dollar!!:eek:
Feeding Birds is illegal Fine 500 dollar
No alcohol  before the age of 18
smoking weed = 10 year prison
400 or more grams of drugs = death penalty

I have an entire T-shirt which has all these things and it says

"Singapore a fine city" LOL!

they are actually very popular among the tourists
