Theres also one that has a summary clowns beware!, but the description basically says that the driver needs to be able to see out in front and out the sides at all times.

Owners of flamingos may not let their pet into barber shops.

A flamingo, in Alaska?? Seriously???

Edit: The law description makes some sense, but nowhere does it say flamingoes: No owner of any animal or person having control of any animal shall allow such animal to enter upon any public premises where food for human consumption is sold, processed stored or consumed or to enter into any barber shops or establishments for the practice of hairdressing or beauty culture.

Just to the west of me (West Virginia), the people are crazy about fines!

For each act of public swearing a person shall be fined one dollar.

Any person who commits adultery shall be fined at least twenty dollars.

If you wear a hat inside a theater, you may be fined.

Boulders may not be rolled on city property.

Guess where that one is from. If you guessed Boulder, Colorado, you're right. This one is more ironic than anything.

Edit:

Cats may not run loose without having been fit with a taillight.

The mental image of this one is just LOL.

Residents of even numbered addresses may not water their plants on odd-numbered days excluding the thirty first day where it applies.

Okay what? Lucky this is only a local law.

This actually sounds like a water conservation issue, to make sure nobody's sprinklers are going 24/7. My guess is that the odd-numbered houses have it the other way around.

You may only water your lawn if the hose is held in your hand.

Same with this one. "We really don't have the water to spare on your fucking grass, but you really want to water your lawn? Fine. DO IT YOURSELF."

One I recently found on a packet of dry roasted peanuts: "Warning, this product may contain traces of nuts"
Really? I should bloody hope so


And a crazy Irishman law, "If two consenting people of the age of sixteen attempt to have intercourse, and carry itt out fully, it is legal, if they attempt to have intercourse, and do not carry out the act fully, it is an offense"
Yeah, as if the teenagers need any more pressure on them

Peanuts are peas not nuts. Most likely they were packaged in a factory which also handles nuts.

Some laws in my state(And the one directly below it.)

It is legal to shoot an Indian on horseback, provided you are in a covered wagon.

It is illegal to lie down and fall asleep with your shoes on.

If there are more than 5 Native Americans on your property you may shoot them.

No horses are allowed into Fountain Inn unless they are wearing pants.

It is illegal to lie down and fall asleep in a cheese factory.

One may be jailed for wearing a hat while dancing, or even for wearing a hat to a function where dancing is taking place.

local

If three or more Indians are walking down the street together, they can be considered a war party and fired upon.

They really should take a look at repealing some of those.

They really should take a look at repealing some of those.

It's easy to pass a law, but it takes an act of Congress to repeal one.  Ba-dum tish!

Helena, Montana

The game of “folf” may not be played at night.

Whats folf?

Edit: The description says something about a golf disk.

Folf = Frisbee Golf

[Eugenitor]

Huh. They call it "frolfing" here.

[Ottofar]

It's illegal to engage in any sport, excluding archery.

[smjjames]

@Ceclif: Yea, alot of laws are from over a century ago, especially the ones related to horses and needing hitching posts.

And a crazy Irishman law, "If two consenting people of the age of sixteen attempt to have intercourse, and carry it out fully, it is legal, if they attempt to have intercourse, and do not carry out the act fully, it is an offense"

Wait, what? how would the irish law-person know if the did it completely or not?

The awkward stares between the couple. Mildly awkward for going all the way, incredibly awkward for not.

[smigenboger]

This thread exploded.

In Kettering, it is illegal to shoot, stab, flail, sunder, blast, or otherwise harm someone 'for the lols'
