I am slowing running out of things to blog about and I do not want to bore people with my rambling and randomness. I think I will blog about crazy laws because I have this application on my phone that talks about laws from various states that are weird. Like for example in Alaska, moose are not allowed to be viewed from an airplane or that is considered to be an offense to push a moose out of a moving airplane, I mean who would actually do that anyways. Florida also has some pretty weird laws. For example, doors of all public buildings must open outwards. Also, women may be fined for falling asleep under a hair dryer, as can the owner. If an elephant is left tied to a parking meter, the parking fee has to be paid just as it would for a vehicle. In Louisiana, stealing an alligator could land a person in jail up to ten years and a person could land in jail for up to a year for making a false promise. Also, in Kentucky a person is not allowed to dye a duckling blue and offer it for sale unless more than six are for sale at once. These laws are crazy and do not make sense. I wonder if they are still enforced or if they are just forgotten about since times have changed. My favorite one is that ducklings can not be dyed blue and sold unless there are six or more for sale at once because that is just odd and why would you want to dye a duckling blue anyways? I like them yellow! They are cute that way.
These are some of the most ridiculous laws I've ever heard of, they're actually pretty funny because they're so pointless.
ReplyDeleteI can understand the public doors opening outwards, due to fire risks and such, but the rest are rather weird.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if anyone ever really pushed a moose out of an airplane.
ReplyDeleteI've heard that a lot of laws are created with selective enforcement in mind, and are not always enforced strictly but are there to give law enforcement greater authority. These are pretty ridiculous, though.
ReplyDeleteThis is interesting, there are so many outdated laws that seem ridiculous. I would like a blue duck though.
ReplyDeleteI always wondered where these laws came from. Did people make them as a joke or were they serious?
