Did You Know . . . . Funny Laws

So, I am a lawyer. Save the jokes. Here are some funny laws and my comments (in italics):

You can't plow a cotton field with an elephant in North Carolina. And thank God, because not only do we need to protect the native elephant population in America, but also, elephants get in the way of the

In Lehigh, Nebraska it's against the law to sell donut holes. *insert corn hole joke here*

Under the law of Mississippi, there's no such thing as a female Peeping Tom. Because who would want to peep on their inbred male relatives?

Lawn darts are illegal in Canada. America, Jr. follows our lead.

In Idaho, a citizen is forbidden by law to give another citizen a box of candy that weighs more than 50 pounds. Who likes someone that much??? Also, if you are not a citizen of Idaho, does that law apply to you?

Every citizen of Kentucky is required by law to take a bath at least once a year. This one is just too easy - but okay . . . they also have to brush their tooth once a month.

It is against the law to whale hunt in Oklahoma. Who wrote this law? That's like saying sand is illegal at the beach. Of course, this law had to start somehow. Did some jackass kill a whale at the Tulsa aquarium?

According to law, no store is allowed to sell a toothbrush on the Sabbath in Providence, Rhode Island. Yet these same stores are allowed to sell toothpaste and mouthwash on Sundays. Guess those visitors from Kentucky are just fucked then.

Before the enactment of the 1978 law that made it mandatory for dog owners in New York City to clean up after their pets, approximately 40 million pounds of dog excrement were deposited on the streets every year. The real question is: did anyone notice? It is New York City after all.

In Breton, Alabama, there is a law on the town's books against riding down the street in a motorboat. Especially after you just got back from whale hunting in Oklahoma.

Connecticut and Rhode Island never ratified the 18th Amendment: Prohibition. And does anyone even care?

n New York State, it is still illegal to shoot a rabbit from a moving trolley car. Whales, on the other hand, may be shot from any moving vehicle.

Vermont, Alaska, Hawaii, and Maine are the four states in the U.S. that do not allow billboards. If you in Hawaii, why would you look at a billboard anyways? In Alaska, they used them all for heat. And no one goes to Vermont or Maine anyways.

In Riverside, California, there is an old law on the city's books which makes it illegal to kiss unless both people wipe their lips with rose water. Again, California is just weird and we should kick it out of the union at our first opportunity (along with Ohio).

In Saudi Arabia, a woman reportedly may divorce her husband if he does not keep her supplied with coffee. But that bitch is fucked if she drives a car, shows her face, or talks to a man who is not her brother, father, or husband.
