However, sometimes I wonder where some of our laws come from. It's like the lawmakers were asleep when they made the laws. (Probably a lot of the laws had good reasons when they were first passed, but somebody forgot to take them out of the books when they didn't apply any longer.)
I found some really dumb ones. They made me smile, which helped me get over my horrible day in court. Maybe they will make you smile too. ~ In Kentucky, the law says that a person must take a bath once a year.
~ It is illegal to tie an alligator to a fire hydrant in Michigan.
~ You may not ride an ugly horse in Wilbur, Washington.
~ In Virginia, chickens cannot lay eggs before 8:00 am, and must be done before 4 pm.
~ You may not carry a concealed weapon over six feet in length in Seattle, Washington.
~ And listen, all you kids, it is illegal to carry an ice cream cone in your pocket in Kentucky.
~ In Memphis, Tennessee, it is against the law to drive a car while you are sleeping.
~ But there is a dumber law in New York. It is against the law for a blind person to drive an automobile. (Go figure!)
California has some really dumb laws:
~ You may not wear cowboy boots unless you already own at least two cows.
~ In Santa Ana, you may not swim on dry land.
~ No vehicle without a driver may exceed 60 miles per hour in the state.
~ You may not shoot at any type of game from a moving vehicle, unless the target is a whale.
And just so the pets don't feel left out, in North Carolina it is illegal for dogs and cats to fight.
