Weird Laws in the World – 2

Weird Laws are dumb laws or crazy laws. These laws are not only stupid and impractical but also very irritating and illogical. Such laws can be seen in all parts of the world especially US. Such weird laws make people laugh. For Example, in Alabama, you can find many such crazy laws such as; it is illegal to play dominoes on Sundays. It is illegal to wear fake mustaches in churches that make people laugh. Apart from these, there are other such weird laws in Alabama such as putting salt on a railroad track may be punishable by death, men may not spit in front of the opposite sex, masks may not be worn in public, solitaire may not be played on Sundays, bear wrestling matches are banned etc.In Alaska also, you can find such laws. For example, huskies are not allowed in school buildings; no child can build a snowman taller than himself on school property; in Fairbanks, it is illegal to feed alcoholic beverages to Moose. Certain laws of Arizona are not only weird but ridiculous also. In Arizona, Women cannot wear pants in Tucson and it is illegal to drive a car in Glendale. Also, it is unlawful to refuse a person, a glass of water. In Arkansas, men are allowed to beat their wives once a month, doesn’t it sound odd? Here, even dogs are not allowed to bark after 6 pm. So, better muzzle up your doggie’s mouth. In California, women are not allowed to drive while wearing a housecoat and in Pacific Grove, ‘molesting’ butterflies can result in a $500 fine. Other dumb laws in California are: it is illegal to eat an orange in bath tub, it is illegal to prevent children from playfully jumping over puddles of water and it is illegal to have bath houses. Thank God! They have not made bathing illegal.Colorado too is notorious for its weird laws. In the city of Denver, it is illegal to mistreat rats and is against the law to loan your next door neighbor your vacuum cleaner. In Logan County, it is illegal for a man to kiss a woman while she is asleep. In Pueblo, it is illegal to let a dandelion grow with in the city limits. In Sterling, Colorado, even a cat is not spared since the law will demand your pet to have a tail light. In Connecticut, it is illegal to dispose of used razorblades. Any one caught biking over 65 mph will be ticketed here. Other crazy laws of Connecticut include: in Devon, it is against the law to walk backwards after sunset, in Hartford, it is illegal to educate a dog and a man cannot kiss his wife on Sundays. In Delaware, “R” rated movies cannot be shown in drive in theaters. In Rehoboth, one cannot whisper in church and changing into or out a swimsuit in a public rest room is prohibited. On Fenwich Island, it is illegal to lie down on a beach at night. In Lewes, it is illegal to wear pants that are form fitting around the waist.
