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?

There's a law in my town that makes flirting illegal. I need to tell a couple of my friends about that one.
The one where the motorist has to pull off the road if he sees horses coming was probably meant to keep the horses from getting spooked by the car. I'd bet it's from about 1900, when cars were both rare and loud (and much easier to take apart, I'm guessing).
