Some odd “Laws” here in the United States.
Strange Laws (No, I don’t have the exact legal codes for each of these. They were probably created a while back for specific reasons that MIGHT have made sense at the time.):
In Kentucky, it’s illegal to carry an ice cream cone in your pocket while walking down the street.
In Florida, you can’t leave an elephant unattended at a parking meter.
In Indiana, it’s illegal to catch fish bare handed, unless you’re drunk.
In Arizona, it’s illegal to hunt camels. (This goes back to an experiment where the US Army used them instead of horses.)
In New Jersey, it’s illegal to slurp your soup in public.
In Utah, birds have the right of way when walking or sitting on all roads.
In Kentucky: Dyeing fewer than 5 ducklings blue is prohibited.
In Illinois, if a restaurant is on fire, all patrons are legally required to leave the establishment. (D’uh!)
Indiana tried to pass legislation to make Pi 3.2 rounded up.
In Memphis, Tennessee, you can’t take home a slice of unfinished pie from a restaurant.
Iowa: Keep it short and sweet. Kisses are capped with a 5 minute time limit (in public, maybe?).
Kansas: Don’t aim at the pinstripes. Throwing knives at a striped suit is a crime. (So it’s okay to throw a knife at someone in a non-striped suit?)
In Glendale, Arizona, it’s illegal to drive a car in reverse in a parking lot. (I’m sure this is NEVER enforced.)
Kentucky: The Annual Refresh. People are legally required to take a bath at least once a year.
