That's Just Weird

One really has to wonder what took place to cause these laws to be adopted...

  • Women must obtain written permission from their husbands to wear false teeth. (Vermont)

  • Using a firearm to fish is strictly forbidden. (Wyoming)

  • It is illegal to lie down and fall asleep with your shoes on. (North Dakota)
  • No one may tie their pet dog to the roof of a car. (Anchorage, AK)
  • It’s forbidden for a female to appear unshaven in public. (Carizozo, NM)
  • It is illegal for a man to scowl at his wife on Sunday. (Detroit, MI)
  • One may not mutilate a rock in a state park. (Colorado)
And finally:
  • One may not dye a duckling blue and offer it for sale unless more than six are for sale at once. (Kentucky)

#7 is understandable as a way to prosecute vandal tourists and graffiti artists.

And who wants to see an unshaven woman?

WSF - I suspect it's just the way my warped mind interpreted "mutilate a rock". Re: the unshaven bit, it seems like unreasonable discrimination against sideshow employees, no?

Then there's Obamacare...

Rev. Paul said...

... and that's a whole 'nother level.

Wonder if it's OK to dye six duckies green?

Rev. Paul said...

And I wonder if it's okay to tie someone else's dog to the roof of your car. :)

Fishing with dynamite I get. Firearm not so much.

Rev. Paul said...

PH - I wondered about that one, too.

Fishing with rifles is legal in Vermont. You don't shoot the fish. You shoot near the fish, to stun it.
And you want to be above the water and shoot straight down.

But won't all the water leak out when the lakes are riddled with holes???

Heh.
