Crazy laws

My friend Andrea found a list of crazy laws from around the world while doing research. Who knows how true they are but I was amused.  The complete list can be found on this blog, but here’s a sampling of them:

- In Bozeman, Montana, a law prohibits all sexual activity from the front yard of a home after sundown.
- In Salt Lake County, Utah, it’s illegal to walk down the street carrying a violin in a paper bag.
- In San Francisco, it‘s illegal to pile horse manure more than six feet high on a street corner.
- In Devon, Texas, it is against the law to make furniture while you are nude.
- In Oklahoma, you can be arrested for making ugly faces at a dog.
- In California it is illegal for a vehicle without a driver to exceed 60 miles per hour.
- In Florida men seen publicly in any kind of strapless gown can be fined. (What do they do in the drag clubs in Miami?)
- In South Carolina it is legal to beat your wife on the court house steps on Sundays.
- In Danville, Pennsylvania, all fire hydrants must be checked one hour before all fires.
- In Pennsylvania, it’s against the law to tie a dollar bill on a string on the ground and pull it away when someone tries to pick it up.

- In Calgary Alberta, there is still a by-law that requires businesses within the city to provide rails for tying up horses.
-In Wilbur, Washington, it is illegal to ride an ugly horse.
- In Louisiana, biting someone with your natural teeth is considered “simple assault,” but biting someone with dentures is “aggravated assault.”
- In the state of Washington, it is illegal to have sex with a virgin under any circumstances. (Including the wedding night.)
-In Switzerland, it is illegal for a man to relieve himself while standing up after 10pm.
- In Florida, it is illegal to fart in a public place after 6 P.M. on Thursdays. (How do you enforce that?)
-In Massachusetts, it is illegal to go to bed without first having a bath. (However, another law prohibits bathing on Sunday)
-In Samoa, it’s a crime to forget your own wife’s birthday…
