I am a great respecter of laws, as their purpose, in general, is to exert order, justice and proper balance in our society. There are, however, some archaic and totally absurd laws still on the books in this country that seem to have been thought up by folks who either had too little sleep or too many highballs.
How else would you explain laws like these?
...In the state of Alabama, if you put salt on a railroad track, death is the punishment.
Sprinkle pepper or any other spice, though, and you're perfectly alright.
...If you live in Fairbanks, Alaska, forget about feeding booze to a moose, because it's against the law.
Sorry, guys, no more cold ones for Bullwinkle. Guess he can be the designated driver.
...In Tombstone, Arizona, it's illegal for citizens over the age of 18-years-old to have more than one tooth missing when smiling.
Guess nobody who's ever been on the Jerry Springer show will ever be able to live there.
...In Little Rock, Arkansas, any flirtation on city streets between men and women could garner you 30 days in jail.
Are you sure Bill Clinton used to live there?
...In California, which has always been a little bonkers, it's a misdemeanor to shoot at game from a moving vehicle, with the exception of a whale.
Okay, so then it's okay to do a drive-by of a beluga?
...In Colorado (Denver), dog catchers are required, for 3 days straight, to post notifications on trees in the city park and public road running through the park that notifies dogs of impounding.
But what if the dogs are illiterate?
...In some parts of Connecticut, it's illegal for fire trucks to go over 25 mph, at any time.
So those folks in that burning building had just better be patient!
...In Lewes, Delaware, it's unlawful to wear pants with a firm-fitting waist.
Who runs this town, Janice Dickinson?
...In the state of Florida, showering naked is considered to be an offense.
Showering fully clothed, however, is only considered to be idiotic.
...In Georgia, it's against the law to keep a donkey in a bathtub.
Yes, but what if he really reeks?
...In the beautiful state of Hawaii, you are not allowed to put coins in your ears
There goes my magic trick!
