Dumb Laws

[Katey]

I remebered this after I saw Mabes post about Strange Facts...We had to look these up in law class last year. They are pretty stupid but they are real laws!

Example:

Dumb laws in Minnesota:

-The land of 10,000 lakes declares mosquitos a public nuisance.
-It is illegal to stand around any building without a good reason to be there.
-A person may not cross state lines with a duck atop his head.
-It is illegal to sleep naked.
-All men driving motorcycles must wear shirts.
-Citizens may not enter Wisconsin with a chicken on their head.
-Oral sex is prohibited.
-All bathtubs must have feet.

You can look at dumb laws for all the states and for other countries too! I think they are funny!

Dumb Laws, Stupid Laws: We have blue laws, old laws, and just plain weird laws!

Post any funny ones you find!

I don't wear my armor on business trips.

Ever since 9/11 its been almost impossible to get through airport security wearing armor and wielding an axe.

(and yes I said all this just so I could use the word "wielding")

oral sex is prohibited Lmao yeah right
all men must wear a shirt while ridding a bike / but they dont have to wear a helmet yeah thats the smart way

I don't know why they are real laws but they apparently are. I have no idea why the government would take time to pass laws like that. But we did a whole section on these laws in law class. That was a fun chapter though.

It sucks that I can't enter Wisconsin with a chicken on my head though!

"If a man and a woman who aren't married go to a hotel/motel and register themselves as married then, according to state law, they are legally married."

I found this one for North Carolina and all I have to say is that I guess I've been married alot! :laughing: oops!

I think some of these laws need to be revised.
