this one is my fave

Maine
If you keep your Christmas decorations on display after January 14, you’ll be fined.

[SynysterSaint]

My friend from Massachusetts (the state with some of the strictest gun control laws in America) told me this one:

In Massachusetts, it's illegal to walk to church on a Sunday without a shotgun.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

After a little research, this is so far my favorite:

In Memphis, Tennessee, it is illegal for a woman to drive a car unless there is a man either running or walking in front of it waving a red flag to warn approaching motorists and pedestrians.


I just want to see a couple acting this one out on the freeway, I mean, what are the cops gonna say when they tell them that they are just trying to obey the law?

[Iwritecode]

It's illegal to hunt for whales in any lake, stream or river in Ohio.

I'd love to see the reason this law was passed, because you know somebody tried it before they made it a law. :P

[Yeah Sure Whatever]

You cant sleep with your shoes on in North Dakota

[alkanto]

Iowa: One-armed pianists must play for free :lol:

Kentucky has some great ones:

These two from Lexington, Ky are my favorites:
By law, anyone who has been drinking is "sober" until he or she "cannot hold onto the ground."

It is illegal to transport an ice cream cone in your pocket.

--
One may not dye a duckling blue and offer it for sale unless more than six are for sale at once.

It is illegal to fish with a bow and arrow in Kentucky.

It's illegal to fish in the Ohio River in Kentucky without an Indiana Fishing License.

In Fort Thomas, it is illegal for dogs to molest cars.

In Owensboro, it is illegal for a woman to buy a hat, unless she receives permission from her husband.

In Kentucky, it's the law that a person must take a bath once a year.

For many years, there was a Kentucky law (Kentucky Revised Statute 436.140) that stated:

"No female shall appear in a bathing suit on any highway within this state unless she be escorted by at least two officers or unless she be armed with a club.

Later on, however, this absurd law was amended thusly:

"The provisions of this statute shall not apply to females weighing less than 90 pounds nor exceeding 200 pounds, nor shall it apply to female horses."

I make and sell crochet beanies, and if I get an order from someone in Owensboro I will make sure they have their husbands permission :doh:

[cozener]

You'll have to have have him sign a waiver I guess...or maybe there's an online "husband verification" process you can use...

I wonder what had happened that made this law necessary. :orely:

[Iwritecode]

It's scary to think that all these laws actually made sense at one time. Otherwise they wouldn't have made them.

[John Blaze]

in Florida it is illegal to have sex with a porcupine.

I don't even try to rationalize old Kentucky laws. I just shake my head and think "Oh, Kentucky, how I love thee."

[mystima]

Here is one from my home state

Texas
You may not shoot a buffalo from the second story of a hotel.

[Jean]

oh good Lord I am reading this and the television is on, with a Geopardy-like kind of game... and as I am reading, the host asks a contender, "which animal according to Texan laws can't be shoot from the second story of a hotel"

it can't be happening...

[Bethany]

I think I am going to break the law today :D

In Anniston, Alabama: You may not wear blue jeans down Noble Street.

[John Blaze]

In NM there's still a blue law in the books outlawing oral sex. Also, in Roswell, NM, there's a law that makes cohabitation illegal. So get married yalls!

[Bethany]

Oh, oral and anal are both (all?) against the law here. So is the sale of sex toys. So when you go and buy one, you have to sign a statement that the intended use is for educational purposes.

Ummm. Not that I personally know that.

[Josh]

It is illegal to transport an ice cream cone in your pocket.

I learned about that one in grade school. It's because horse thieves used ice cream to lure the horses out of town in order to steal them. Can't believe I still remember that one.

[LadyHitchhiker]

In Michigan it is a FELONY to cheat on your spouse. Rarely prosecuted as such anymore, but it can be. Warning warning...

I weigh more than 200 pounds so does that mean I can appear in a bathing suit on a highway, or I don't need the escort or the weapon?

[Jean]

You don't need the escort. You don't need the weapon. You can appear in a bathing suit.

You ought to.

[LadyHitchhiker]

Awwwwwwwww thanks Jean... Next time I'm in Kentucky... I'll be on the news ;)

[RainInSpain]

Just read on one Russian website that there is a law in France that prohibits giving the name Napoleon to pigs.

Some nice ones for California.

•Molesting butterflies can result in a $500 fine.

•It is illegal to pile horse manure more than six feet high on a street corner.

•In Ventura County, California, cats and dogs are not allowed to have sex without a permit.

•In Los Angeles a man is legally entitled to beat his wife with a leather belt or strap, but the belt can’t be wider than 2 inches, unless he has his wife’s consent to beat her with a wider strap. Consent should be given prior to the event, as is carefully stipulated.

Hmmm, haha.

[OchrisO]

I want to go to Claifornia and pile up 5 1/2 ft. of horse manure of a street corner, and when the cops come to stop me, pull out a tape measure and be like "Nope, I'm good. Only 5 1/2 feet."

These are my faves

In Hilton Head, South Carolina, it is illegal to store trash in your car.
Specifically, that section of the code states that it it’s unlawful “to place, leave, dump or permit to accumulate any garbage, rubbish or trash in any building, vehicle and their surrounding areas in the town so that the same shall or may afford food or homage for rats.”

A violation is consider a public nuisance and is subject to a fine of up to $500 and/or jail time of up to 30 days.

In Kansas, it is illegal to screech your tires. That's a state law, but there are also local ordinances to back it up.
In Derby, Kansas, for example, it's part of a standard traffic ordinance that any act which causes or creates "unnecessary rapid acceleration, unnecessary tire squeal, skid, smoke or slide upon acceleration or stopping including the casting of tread, gravel, dirt or other road surface materials from the tires" is illegal. Also any acts that "simulate a temporary race."

The penalty is a fine up to $500 and/or imprisonment up to 30 days.

If you’re not going to listen to your mother and keep your language clean, you’re going to have to answer to the law in Rockville, Maryland. Here, it’s illegal to swear within earshot of other people, whether you’re on a street, sidewalk or highway. That means even if you’re in your car, you’re going to have to use your talking-in-front-of-the-kids voice.

The penalty is a fine up to $100 and/or jail time up to 90 days.

From Indiana (and on a personal note: an officer of the Yorktown, In. Police Department informed me of this law when I was 19 with my 17 year old gal)

A man over the age of 18 may be arrested for statutory rape if the passenger in his car is not wearing her socks and shoes, and is under the age of 17.

[LadyHitchhiker]

:wtf: Priceless!!!!!

[pixiedark76]

My father and other people always told me that it is illegal to drive with flip-flops on in my state (PA) I always thought it was myth, but apparently it is true. I found out two years ago when I was waiting in line at a convenience store. Two state troopers came up to me and asked me if I was driving a car. I said yes.

They both got very angry at me a started yelling at me to take my flip-flops off and to put shoes on or drive barefoot! I just rolled my eyes at them. The state troopers started to tell me that it is very dangerous to wear flip-flops while driving a car.

The state troopers told me that the flip-flops could get stuck on the accelerator and people could get killed by an out of control car. Then they told me a story about how 5 people were killed in a parking lot in Florida because somebody was wearing flip-flops and lost control of their car. (They claimed the person was charged with vehicular homicide!) Well I don't want to kill anybody or break the law so I don't wear flip-flops while driving any more!

[RainInSpain]

This actually sounds like a pretty wise law. Looking at how some people I know have what seems to be not just two left feet, but two left feet stuck sideways, I would not want them driving any sort of vehicle in flip-flops :lol:

I actually agree with the no swearing within earshot of another person. I hate it when I am out in public (especially with my kids) and I hear people swearing. All I hear is fuck this and fuck that! Don't people care that little kids are around! When I see little kids or even elderly people I watch my mouth. I realize that it is inappropriate and rude to swear in public. I respect other people and realize that most people don't like to hear swearing.

What I hate the most is when my kids hear swearing and they ask "What are they saying, what does
that mean?' Or worse, when my kids repeat those bad words.

Doesn't that go against the first amendment though?

I also wonder what they consider a "swear" word. There are plenty of them they allow on TV and/or radio.

[Jean]

yes

it's a matter of people's responsibility and decency. Law has nothing to do with this.

[RainInSpain]

yes

it's a matter of people's responsibility and decency. Law has nothing to do with this.

So, how do we teach responsibility and decency to those who have not been taught it by the parents/family/etc.? Do we just tsk-tsk and shake our heads at how indecent someone is (as if they care - if they did, they would not have said those words when others were present, in the first place)? Why does children's freedom (not to hear outright swearing) have to be infringed on - it will no longer be a matter of removing yourself or a kid from the situation, because swearing will be everywhere if it's tolerated.

[Jean]

Yes, we tsk-tsk and shake our heads. This is the very point: there are things that can be legally regulated, and there are things that can't. It ultimately depends on the system of values, and on how much people want to integrate: what is universally considered comme il faut, and how desirable it is for a person to follow it. There's no other way to make people behave themselves. If it pays to be nice, people will tend to be nice. If it doesn't - if their reference group thinks that swearing in front of kids is cool, and it's their reference group that provides guidelines for society - no number of arrests, finings, etc will change anything, except deepen the abyss between those few (and fewer) who want to be nice and those many (and growing in number) who bully them around. If we want to break this tendency, society should learn to use subtler mechanisms.

[Bethany]

You cannot legislate morality.
I wish my lawmakers would realize this.

[RainInSpain]

You cannot legislate morality.
I wish my lawmakers would realize this.

I agree - but then we need to have a clear distinction between what we consider strictly moral issues vs. what can be legislated. Why touching my breasts without my consent can be against the law, while saying "f*cking c*nt" in my presence can not? There is no physical harm done in either case, only moral suffering.

If we want to break this tendency, society should learn to use subtler mechanisms.

Well, you're diving people in two groups: (1) those who have the responsibility and decency to behave properly, and (2) those who do not - these two groups will behave in accordance with their inner morality, or a lack thereof, regardless of the environment. I feel that these are two "extremes", so to speak, and there is a much larger intermediate group between them, who would benefit from setting certain boundaries. Oh, this reminds me of that well-known effect and experiment (jeez, can't remember what it's called) - spread some litter on the street and draw graffiti on the walls, and everything on that street will go downhill, i.e. soon you will have broken windows, vandalized cars, etc. To me, swearing in public is another element in that row.
How do we, as a society, come to consider something comme il faut or not? What are those subtler mechanisms and why do you think they can be efficient against the "bullies" who outnumber the "decent" people? Oh, and what those "decent" people are supposed to do until the society reaches that stage? I mean, you and I can very well observe that, left to their own devices, masses of people tend to spiral all the way down - it's as if it is natural for humans to cluster together at the lowest possible denominator.

[Jean]

::sigh::
yes, wife, you're right too...
(from an old Jewish joke)

you know, you are talking about immediate causes/effect process, and I am sure no result, or only very uncertain result - with immense possibility of backlash - can be achieved in this way. What I mean is reversing the roles. What we had for decades was unnatural and suicidal for society, but things will change for better as soon as priorities change, from immediate grab-and-run to forming normal capitalist relationships. We need bourgeoisie, and bourgeois values, and we need them to triumph, however unpleasant they are for bohemians like bears. An easy example is how much safer you feel in any Western country than in Russia: even in the districts all residents of which complain nonstop about the rate of crime, the odds that you'll be mugged, robbed, or have your possessions stolen, are beyond compare lower than in Russia. Because only hopeless junkies will risk their social status for the miserable contents of your purse. Behavior is a function of status. People who have nothing to lose behave differently from those who have worked hard to get what they have, and thus have everything to lose.

[RainInSpain]

I understand what you're saying, and I'm hoping it will eventually work out for our country, too, despite the oft-cited "special way" of Russia. Forgive me for this quote in Russian, but lately it's been a favorite of mine: "Вот только жить в эту пору прекрасную уж не придется ни мне, ни тебе." (Nekrasov)
Right now I am extremely pessimistic about any possibility for priorities to change in any foreseeable future (and no way for someone like me to do something about it). I feel that what we have now is even more suicidal - not just for society as a whole but for very real individuals. What we do not have is clear rules, applicable to all, that do not change and aren't bent at a whim of the powers-that-be or whoever else. No society, no business, and no individual can have any prospects for development in such circumstances, so it's strictly 'survival of the fittest', with 'fittest' in this case meaning those with the lowest morals. It's an upside down world ::sigh::

/end rant

On a lighter note, an impression from today's lunch (all said in jest): I wish I could legislate sloppy eating - it's a wonder what kind of sounds some people can make simply by eating soup :lol:

[Jean]

agree with every word

a very apt Nekrasov quote indeed. I am beginning to wonder if the fact that I've never thought of it in all those years reflects my innate optimism, or my acquired pessimism (like, there's gonna be no "beautiful times" at all); afraid the latter, given all we have - which you described, alas, very accurately

[RainInSpain]

:couple:
As for me, I am an optimist when it comes to small everyday things, and on a grander scale, I'm a pessimist, but what's worrying me is that I'm quickly becoming cynical and suspicious of everything. ::sigh::

I heard about this a long time ago and use to drive barefoot instead of with flip flops on - However you cant hold the rest of us responsible because of the what FLORIDA does!

In regards to the "swearing" people need to get over it and stop trying to control others. If you're afraid your precious snowflakes are going to hear it and be "damaged" then you need to stick to your house or church. Do not infringe on my right of free speech because you dont like it. This is one of my biggest pet peeves. I have 5 children from ages 13 - 3 and have never cared about people swearing around them. Now if someone starts spewing racist shit or something that actually matters I'll remove my kids or talk to them about it afterwards. Guess what they're going to hear when they are in school and later in life? Yup get over it

I'm pretty sure my kids do it. I sure know I did when I was their age. Just never around my parents. :evil:

My wife talked to a guy at her work that was upset about his step-daughter using the word "crap". I asked her how old the kid was.

17. :rofl:

[Yeah Sure Whatever]

My 11 year old and his friends swear like only true South American Soccer fans can, but my son can do it in both languages. He does it when they're playing soccer though so what are ya gonna do?

My 13 year old on the other hand wont say a swear word to save her life!

OMG those crappy 17 year old!
