That's a law!?!?!

[Marx]

We all tend to get a little too serious around here from time to time, so why not lighten it up a little? We've all heard about some crazy things that end up becoming law...why not discuss them?

(I'll start)

Did you know that...

In Oxford, Ohio...it is illegal to drive around the town square more than ONE HUNDRED TIMES in a single session?

In Akron, Ohio...it is illegal to display COLORED chickens for sale?

 

[Fading]

There's some pretty silly ones out there. Wish I could remember the comedy show that talked about a few of them. Some are so absurd tho it makes me wonder if the arresting officer would even press it or just drop it.

Here's a link to some of Alaska's laws -

Wrong. Sodomy laws were overturned by the Supreme Court in 2003.

actually i think its only red masks. so KKK are exempt.

 

[Bathead]

Some of these laws are so bizarre and out of left field, I have to wonder what incident(s) led to these laws being passed? I mean, the legislators didn't just pull these out of their a$$, they had to have been inspired by something.

It really does make you wonder. It's alot like all of the warning labels on everything. Something inspired these things, they weren't created for no reason! You know?

 

[Sentinel X]

In a town in California it is illegal to molest butterflies..... <----serious face.

I'm not joking. This is a law.

 

[Addendum]

In Chicago, it is legal to protest naked in front of city hall as long as you are under seventeen years of age and have legal permits.

And in my hometown of Memphis, it is illegal for a woman to drive a car unless there is a man either running or walking in front of it waving a red flag to warn approaching motorists and pedestrians.

That makes no sense at all.

It does if the lawmakers who passed it are pedofiles. Everytime they pass a silly law they get naked minors to protest outside their windows rather than 40 year old soccer moms.

 

[Gilpesh]

My goatee is illegal.


Nice.

That's exactly what popped into my head. It had to hve been a bunch of pedofiles that passed this law.

however going out of the USA masks are illegal in germany.
so.... this explains why the only german superhero is so ugly he does not need to wear a mask.

In Ohio, it is illegal to breast feed in public.

In the state's driver's ed manual, it says that you are supposed to honk the horn whenever you pass another car.

Nice.

Does that mean that mine is illegal too? Where is this law?

Massachusetts.... FOR NOW!

Get in all your goateeing now... you may not be able to in the future.

Sigh.

Do you know anything about the Supreme Court? When it makes a decision, all states are required to abide by that decision. Mississippi may still have sodomy laws on the books, but those laws are inherently illegal thanks to the 2003 decision. Which means I can go to Mississippi and have all the gay sex I want and no one can do a thing about it as long as I'm not doing it out in public.
