ok, apparently here in the Uk it is illegal to stand within 100 yards of the rulling monarch without socks on.
so anyone know of any other bizarre laws?
also please dont use this to show your distaste of the 24 hour drinking bill, even if it is stupid :p :choc:
The Arkansas River is not allowed to rise over the bridge in Little Rock(state capital).
In NY, a person may not walk around on Sundays with an ice cream cone in his/her pocket.
The 24 hour drinking bill is not stupid! And I think suicide being illegal is laughable.
What, do they fine the river then?Quote:

One that I always found funny(though unsure if it is actually on the books) was in Indiana(I believe) it is considered statuatory rape if a male over the age of consent has a female passenger under the age of consent in his car without her shoes or socks on. Or something to that effect.
For some funny ones you can look at www.dumblaws.com.... Don't know how valid they are, but they make for a good laugh at least.
