Nebraska:

1.If a child burps during church, his parent may be arrested.
Reason #18 why I don't go to church. "Pssst...Dad. Raise my allowance or I belch during the Benediction."

2.It is Illegal to go whale fishing.
Whale fishing? In Nebraska? Y'know...I hate when those pesky Humpbacks swim up the Missouri River.

3.Persons with gonorrhea may not marry.
"Sorry Hun, but were gonna have to postpone for a few weeks. I..uh..I..uh...have to go away on abusiness trip. Yeah...that's it!"

did anyone else notice that it doesn't state that sex ON the double beds isn't forbidden, just between them?

In England, you need a license to own a television.

As far as I'm aware there aren't any circumstances under which your license can be revoked.

In my city (Ottawa), it's illegal to eat ice cream on Bank St. on a Sunday.
Funny, I used to live on Bank St. and there are at least a dozen ice cream places on the street, and they're all open on Sunday. I suppose that's just a really old law that never got repealed, but in the suburb of Kanata, it's illegal to have your doors painted any colour but white, and that's a pretty new law.

And if you are released from prison in Alberta, you have to be given a horse, a gun and bullets, so you can ride out of town.

(I love this!)
A fine of $25 can be levied for flirting. This old law specifically prohibits men from turning around on any city street and looking "at a woman in that way." A second conviction for a crime of this magnitude calls for the violating male to be forced to wear a "pair of horse-blinders" wherever and whenever he goes outside for a stroll.

Could you imagine if this was enforced? I wonder if it ever was?

Also, it is also illeagal to throw a ball at someone's head, for fun.

I was told by an old man that this was done to prevent illness (smallpox ect) from spreading. I cannot remember anyone in his age group ever spitting unless it was out in the field or the window.

I personally believe that spitting on the sidewalk is uncalled for, rude, tastless and unsanitary.

I couldn't find any current ones but this old punishment for peeling the bark from a tree seems pretty harsh:

Quote:
"The culprits navel was to be cut out and nailed to the part of the tree he had peeled, and he was to be driven round and round the tree till all his guts were wound about its trunk. The intention of the punishment clearly was to replace the dead bark by a living substitute taken from the culprit; it was a life for a life, the life of a man for the life of a tree"
