What are some funny and/or wierd laws you have heard about?

here are a couple to get you started...

1. It's illegal to shoot a whale from your car in Washington (the state).

2. In Alabama it's illegal to play dominoes on Sunday.

3. Animals are banned from mating publicly within 1,500 feet of a tavern, school, or place of worship.

Here's a site with a couple more.

I can't remember the state, but there is one in which it is illegal to carry an ice cream cone in your back pocket on Sunday. I remember a TV show with this kind of stuff on it about 4 years ago. I taped it, but don't have the tape anymore.

Oral sex is prohibited in my state! No mention of sodomy though. Woohoo!

A few more to laugh at ::

1. It is illegal to wear a bullet-proof vest while committing a murder.
2. It is against the law for a man to knit during the fishing season.
3. It is against the law to "frown" at a police officer.

I'm getting handed a painfully expensive speeding ticket or violation and I'm supposed to smile about it?

this one from TN is by far one of my favorites

You can't shoot any game other than whales from a moving automobile
