Have you ever read some off-the-wall law? Well, here a few to lighten your day. And when you've read these, you can go find some more at this site; Totally Useless Knowledge.
It is illegal to wear a fake moustache that causes laughter in church. (Alabama)
While it is legal to shoot bears, waking a sleeping bear for the purpose of taking a photograph is prohibited. (Alaska)
It is a misdemeanor to shoot at any kind of game from a moving vehicle, unless the target is a whale. (California)
In Quitman, it is illegal for a chicken to cross a road. (Georgia) There goes the chicken/road jokes.
Boxes of candy given as romantic gifts must weigh more than 50 pounds. (Idaho) Now, that's what I'm talking about!
It is illegal to remarry the same man four times. (Kentucky)
It's illegal to tease skunks. (Minnesota)
While children may purchase shotguns in Kansas City, they are not allowed to buy toy cap guns. (Missouri)
In New York City, "It is disorderly conduct for one man to greet another on the street by placing the end of his thumb against the tip of his nose, at the same time extending and wiggling the fingers of his hand." (New York) lol!!
Also in Memphis, it is illegal for a woman to drive by herself; "a man must walk or run in front of the vehicle, waving a red flag in order to warn approaching pedestrians and motorists." (Tennessee)
It is illegal to deny the existence of God. (Vermont) Too bad that's not the case everywhere.

Hysterical! Hard to believe some of them, but then, I'm not surprised any more at the things the "smart" people in government come up with!
