Weird state laws.
Weird state laws. There are some really weird state laws, like in one state firemen are not allowed to rescue women in their pajamas, and in another ducks are not allowed to "quack" after 11:00 p.m. It's really weird. I found tons of them. Another is that in Texas you can't sell styrofoam alligators at a parade, and in Utah its illegal to go fishing on horseback. You find tons and tons by just googleing "weird state laws." Weird, huh?

:):):) I guess that it would sort of stink if your aliigator escaped, but how many people would really want to keep them as pets???? Do you live in the Sunshine state??? I used to, and we visit, sometimes!! It's one of my favorite states!

No, actually, I don't live in Florida. My cousins do, though.
'Cause it's so sunny in Florida!

Those are so funny!!!!
Here's some that I found: Horses may not be kept in bathtubs in South Carolina. Owners of flamingos may not let their pet into barber shops in some parts of Alaska. Coins are not allowed to be placed in one’s ears in Hawaii. Tags may be ripped off of pillows and mattresses in Colorado (who knew?). You may not catch a fish by any body part except the mouth. It it illegal to sleep on top of a refrigerator outdoors. Any motorist who sights a team of horses coming toward him must pull well off the road, cover his car with a blanket or canvas that blends with the countryside, and let the horses pass, or sing in the bathtub in Pennsylvania.
Some dumb warnings are, Caution: Will be hot after heating (on a bread pudding package). This broom does not actually fly (Harry Potter Toy Broom). Note: Game pieces do not actually talk (“Guess Who” Game). For best results, remove cap (Nabisco Easy Cheese). Use of this product may be hazardous to your health. This product contains Saccharin, which has been determined to cause cancer in laboratory animals (Carefree Gum). Warning: Children can drown in bucket, do not place kids in juice (Giant Bucket of Pickles used in Fast Food Restaurants). And FINALLY: Keyboard not detected. Press F1 to continue (Various Computers). Ok, so who knows if they are true, but they're still funny!

In one state, women are not allowed to wear patent leather shoes in dresses, for fear that in them might be seen reflections of their underwear.

Oh, and in Mexico, there used to be a law that stated that all bikers must have their feet on the pedals AT ALL TIMES. Luckily, this was abolished because bikers couldn't get off their bikes without breaking the law!

Oooh! Oooh! I have some, too! This is on a Korean kitchen knife: "Keep out of children" it said. I'm glad they don't want parents putting knives in their child!
