Dumb Laws
slave:
Check out some of the dumb laws on the books in Louisiana (where I live)
Some of my favorite:
It is illegal to shoot lasers at police officers.
Biting someone with your natural teeth is "simple assault," while biting someone with your false teeth is "aggravated assault."
It is illegal to gargle in public places.
You may not tie an alligator to a fire hydrant.
No person may predict another's future.
It is illegal to have sex with a cow.
avello500:
in arizona you can still be hung for stealing a horse.
also oral sex is illegal
but congress has debated and agreed that every household shall be able to have 6 dildos.
also you can still carry a gun in public, you can carry it concieled w/a permit

there are some really dumb laws in england (there aren't quite so many dumb ones in scotland, but there are a few crackers)
one of my favourite ones is that in one english town (i forget where) it is legal to shoot a welshman (this town is on the welsh border) after the sun has gone down on one particular date of the year (again, i forget which date). the reason is that one high born english nobleman once shot a welshman after dark there on that day and they needed to quickly bring in a law that made it legal!
also if you are a woman and you wear makeup in england then you can still be sentenced to death by burning as punishment.
