Silly laws
| I came across these silly laws the other day. Some entered the law books years ago and were never removed. For most that remain, they are not enforced. In Texas, it’s against the law for anyone to have a pair of pliers in his or her possession.
In Philadelphia, you can’t put pretzels in bags based on an Act of 1760. Alaska law says that you can’t look at a moose from an airplane. In Corpus Christie, Texas, it is illegal to raise alligators in your home.In Miami, it is forbidden to imitate an animal. It is against the law to mispronounce the name of the State of Arkansas in that State.In Illinois, the law is that a car must be driven with the steering wheel.
California law prohibits a woman from driving a car while dressed in a housecoat. In Memphis, Tennessee, a woman is not to drive a car unless a man warns approaching motorists or pedestrians by walking in front of the car that is being driven. In Tennessee, it is against the law to drive a car while sleeping. In New York, it is against the law for a blind person to drive an automobile. In West Virginia, only babies can ride in a baby carriage. In Georgia, it is against the law to slap a man on the back or front. A barber is not to advertise prices in the State of Georgia. In Louisiana, a bill was introduced years ago in the State House of Representatives that fixed a ceiling on haircuts for bald men of 25 cents. In Oklahoma, no baseball team can hit the ball over the fence or out of a ballpark.

Hehe 🙂 I was telling my friends some ridiculous laws just yesterday in the evening 😀 Like the one that it’s against the law to name a pig in France Napoleon 😀
