What's the weirdest law you've ever heard of?

In Frankfort Illinois it is a class 4 misdeamor to spit phlem on the sidewalk. It is ok to spit the same phlem on the grass or lawn, just can't on the sidewalk. This law has been in existance since 1800's

It's illegal to wear a zoot suit in Los Angeles.

This dates back to WWII, when zoot suits were popular but the fabric was needed for the war effort. Wearing such a suit was considered to be disrespectful, at best, to the American war effort. And they just never took the law off the books.

In Alabama, it is illegal to wear a fake mustache that causes laughter in church.

You cannot walk in public with a frown, always a smile........I heard this law from come city, I don't recall.

It used to the Texas Blue Law, incorporated by church's. Mall's where closed, you couldn't even by a hammer on Sunday's. They have since revised it. Now you can't buy alcohol before noon. Remember when it used to DWI and they changed it DUI so you can get arrested even if your riding a bike.

In my hometown of Cleveland OH all elephants traveling by night must have rear lights on. I really havent seen any yet.

Also in Saco, MO it's against the law for women to wear hats that may frighten children or animals. I'm guessing that was a problem at one time.

There is a law in New Orleans that says that you can't bathe your donkey in your bathtub on Sunday.

If you are looking for wierd laws, look to Louisiana. It is the only state that has Napoleonic law. ...which means that every single law is written down.

In Maine, it's illegal for a gentleman to tickle a woman under the chin with a feather on the courthouse steps. Believe it or not. Gotta wonder what happened to bring that about.

I think I heard one where it's illegal for a dog to chase a cat up a pole.
I heard it on balderdash, you can google it though.

Well its not really a law and its is a school law and it is you cant wear nailpolish becasue the school principal is a afraid of it and well for one i dont even think she could make that a offical rule but she is boss over us so i guess she can. (Nut) But i think that is really wierd why would be afraid of nailpolish?

littlemsbrunette185

Well, of course I wouldn't want to change the trash can and find out there was used toilet paper in there, it would be unsanitary, eww, gross!
Plus, if I were driving someone else's car I would be glad that I had insurance to at least cover damage to the car and medical bills in case I got into an accident.
You can never be too prepared.

The weirdest law I've ever heard of?

Go to bored.com. I think they have a link on where you can look up some of the weirdest laws ever created in every state. All of them are hilarious. I remember one law: It is illegal to hunt whales in Tennessee.

Yeah, I think only at Seaworld!
Haha! lol! Deet-dee-dee!

bestguessing

In Kentucky it's illegal to deliver a horse to the buyer after dark.

I can't remeber which American city has this one, but it's illegal to walk your tiger backwards...on Sunday.

nurse_nikki

It is illegeal to fish for whales in Kansas. Umm... hello no oceans any where near Kansas. And also you can't eat cherry pie on Sunday in Kansas. Obviously not a punishable offense anymore but still a dumb blue law.

Nette

Alaska law says that you can't look at a moose from an airplane

oopsmaine

adultery is a felony in every state. yes it is smart to have to have insurance to get a license. who says that the buddie that let you borrow his car paid his insurance and you wreck the car. someone has to pay for the car you hit.

katie d

In Tennessee, you are not allowed to spit on the sidewalks.

Triskelion

That two people who love eachother but are the same gender cannot marry.

Not everyone belives follows the bible. Its weird/stupid to repress us!

OnlyJesus

@Triskelion: If you don't believe or follow the Bible you have much bigger things to worry about than the laws you don't agree with.
