California still has a law on the books that says a Husband can / should spank his wife if she doesn't wash her dust cloth after cleaning with it.

P.S. to Junkbondtrader

You can not have a antenna exposed outside of your house yet you can have a 25' satellite dish.Though clotheslines are banned, clothes may be draped over a fence.One may not drink in a bar between 2:00 and 6:00 AM.Minors are not allowed to purchase cap pistols, however they may buy shotguns freely.Installation


Father and Husband
yes, i got a new grill for fathers day last year and put it on my porch ,when i started using it i got a 500 dollar fine for having my gas grill on the porch!!:(

Not in my area, no. But in West Virginia, I am almost sure that there is an old law (that noone can excersise anymore) that states that you can only beat your wife on the steps of the church on Sundays.

One of those old laws that I think was never well intended.


goldie
Oh yeah!! For years, this wasn't enforced, but last year it's cause for arrest. You cannot have ANYTHING hanging from your rear view mirror. Not even an air freshener! They say it obstructs your view.

In Arizona,

-Hunting camels is prohibited

-Any misdemeanor committed while wearing a red mask is considered a felony.

-When being attacked by a criminal or burglar, you may only protect yourself with the same weapon that the other person posseses.

They will cite you if your grass grows over six inches (in Griffith, Indiana). And they enforce it!

I heard the president wants to make banning gay marriage a constitutional amendment. Now that would be a stupid law and a rampant abuse of executive power.

Republicans are supposed to be about smaller government, yet they don't trust states to handle an issue that affects a microscopic number of Americans. What BS.

Is it 2008 yet?

In San Francisco it is illegal to appear in public barefoot while wearing a tuxedo. It was implemented in the early 20th century so that they could arrest a man who ran around in a tux with no shoes and harrassed the tourists.

My common sense friends from Europe can't believe this one: in my town, you cannot have an outdoors clothesline to dry your laundry.

This is the burbs, and you would imagine people would want their sheets and certain clothes dried in the fresh air and sunshine. I can imagine not wanting underwear or "personal items" hung up, but this is ridiculous.

Laws are made by people who were voted by dumb or votes stolen from the people by power hungry men/women. The only way you can change that is run and get elected yourself. Then you get corrupted and get power hungry yourself including the money you will make and you will become like anyone else. Just live your life and ignore the news and you will have less stress. Do you think law makers don't think people are stupid that's why they come up with your so called dumb laws? You can start by traffic laws.

I'm in the UK and (apparently) there are still laws in place that state you must practice archery on common land, that you mustn't herd goats across London Bridge and that a husband cannot kiss his wife on a Sunday.
I'm not sure if you would actually be prosecuted for this, it might be urban myth but hey, it's a laugh!

In Illinois...in my home town the mayor passed a city ordinance that it was illegal to have a fence over 5 feet tall in your yard. No privacy fences. Everyone thought it was because his neighbor put up a privacy fence...and it made him mad.

In New York its illegal to:
- Greet one other by "putting one's thumb to one's nose and wiggling one's fingers".
- flirt. A fine of $25 can be imposed.
- jump off a building; the penalty is death.
-walk around on Sundays with an ice cream cone in his/her pocket.

I have just found some illegal laws found in my state. These laws are. 1. Dogs may not bark after 6pm. 2. No vehicle without a driver may exceed 60 miles per hour. 3. It is unlawful to walk backwards after sunset. 4. It is considered an offense to shower naked. You can also find some more stupid laws from here. http://www.elistmania.com/still/50_stupid_laws_from_50_states/
