Dumb Laws-noclue I've always found these kind of lists of crazy things you find in the statutes of law to be pretty funny. I wonder how many people actually obey these laws in their various states, and more importantly, how many people ever get charged or convicted of these heinous crimes? Obviously most of these examples come from the crazy ole USA but there's plenty from around the rest of the world also, including Australia... In Utah * It is illegal not to drink milk. * Throwing snowballs will result in a $50 fine. * No one may have sex in the back of an ambulance if it is responding to an emergency call. In Vermont * Women must obtain written permission from their husbands to wear false teeth. In Texas * It is illegal to take more than three sips of beer at a time while standing. * San Antonio: It is illegal for both sexes to flirt or respond to flirtation using the eyes and/or hands. * Galveston: It is illegal to drive a motor car down Broadway before noon on Sundays. * El Paso: Churches, hotels, halls of assembly, stores, markets, banking rooms, railroad depots, and saloons are required to provide spittoons "of a kind and number to efficiently contain expectorations into them." In Oregon * Ministers are forbidden from eating garlic or onions before delivering a sermon. * Dishes must drip dry. * One may not bathe without wearing "suitable clothing," i.e., that which covers one's body from neck to knee. * It's against the law for a wedding ceremony to be performed at a skating rink. * No more than two people may share a single drink. In Oklahoma * Tissues are not to be found in the back of one's car. * Females are forbidden from doing their own hair without being licensed by the state. * It is illegal to wear your boots to bed. * People who make "ugly faces" at dogs may be fined and/or jailed. * Fish may not be contained in fishbowls while on a public bus. In Ohio * It is illegal to get a fish drunk. * Breast feeding is not allowed in public. * It is illegal for more than five women to live in a house. * It is against the law to roller skate without notifying the police. In New York * A person may not walk around on Sundays with an ice cream cone in his/her pocket. * It is against the law to throw a ball at someone's head for fun. * A fine of $25 can be levied for flirting. This old law specifically prohibits men from turning around on any city street and looking "at a woman in that way." A second conviction for a crime of this magnitude calls for the violating male to be forced to wear a "pair of horse-blinders" wherever and whenever he goes outside for a stroll. * Slippers are not to be worn after 10:00 P.M. In Minnesota * Hamburgers may not be eaten on Sundays. * All men driving motorcycles must wear shirts. * It is illegal to sleep naked. * A woman isn't allowed to cut her own hair without her husband's permission. In Australia * Only licensed electricians may change a light bulb. The fine for not abiding by this law is 10 pounds. (Victoria) * It is illegal to wear hot pink pants after midday Sunday. (Victoria) * Your modem can't pick up on the first ring. If it does the ACA permit for your modem is invalid and there's a $12000 fine. * It is technically illegal to copy music from CDs you own onto your MP3 player or iPod...
