Laws (http://www.bored.com/crazylaws/index.htm)
Here some I found.
In Los Angeles a man is legally entitled to beat his wife with a leather belt or strap, but the belt can't be wider than 2 inches, unless he has his wife's consent to beat her with a wider strap. Consent should be given prior to the event, as is carefully stipulated.
Arizona
A man can legally beat his wife, but not more than once a month.
Oklahoma
Clinton: Molesting an automobile is illegal.
Oklahoma
Whale hunting is strictly prohibitted throughout the entire state of Oklahoma.
Oh! Oh! Pick me! I have one! Pick me!
The Military Commissions Act of 2006.

There's an old wives tale that here in the UK, if you're pregnant and need to pee you're allowed to go in a policemans hat.

That's true I tell you - you must also practice archery for at leat 2 hours a week and London cabbies must still carry a bag of oats in their taxi's. You may not enter Parliament in a full suit of armour and ships in British waters may not carry cooking vessels of an 'unusual size'.
...and if you are caught tucking into a boiled egg from the sharp end then it's 24 hours in the stocks for you!
On a more pleasant note, if you happen to be in York on any day except Sunday, then it is perfectly legal to shoot a Scotsman with a bow and arrow.

Oh sure, you can touch it to feel the trim, but when you start fingering the tailpipe, then you've crossed the line...

They would wreak havoc on the whale population if it weren't for that law.

What gets me is that there usually isn't a law made untill there's a problem that needs to be prevented from happening A SECOND TIME!

In Kentucky it's illegal to walk around with an ice cream cone in your back pocket. It's also illegal for a woman to walk down the sidewalk in a bathing suit unless she has either a police escort or a baseball bat.

I think it's more interesting that the guys who put this list together did it for a high school project. Now, they're millionairs. Stupid laws indeed.

Ha! That's only illegal in NY on Sundays, according to the list. There must have been an ice cream smuggling epidemic at one point in history!

Citizens may not murder their enemies.
All this time I thought this one was okay. :(
It is illegal to whisper "dirty" things in your lover's ear during sex.
It's against the law in Willowdale, Oregon, for a husband to curse during sex.
Looks like I won't be having sex in Oregon.

n the Mount Pocono region any group of 5 or more Native Americans are to be considered a raiding party and may be killed on the spot.
It is legal to commit a homicide as long as you tell the person when, and how you are going to kill them.
It is illegal to detonate any nuclear weapon. You can have them, but you just can't detonate them.

In Alaska it is illegal to whisper in someone's ear while they are moose hunting.
• It is considered an offense to push a live moose out of a moving airplane.
Kangaroos are not allowed in barber shops at any time.
.......wha? :blink:

I don't know about this one, i seen it in a book a long time ago but apparently you need a hunting license in new york to kill rats in your apartment.
and the one in virginia that says the only legal sex position ia the missionary is true, we learned about it in government class in high school and my fiance told me when he was an emt a guy was arrested at the hospital for the crime when he got injured playing around with his girlfriend. lol

Interestingly enough, it actually comes from people stealing horses. They would walk into the stables with the ice cream in their back pocket, and a horse would follow them out.

Maybe some guy brought his kangaroo into the barber shop and it got scared of the clippers, and tweaked out and killed everybody?
