Just For Fun: What You Cannot Do In Connecticut Per Old Laws
These silly laws have never been removed from the books.

It seems a hot topic trending on the Internet for some reason is things you cannot do (#5thingsyoucantdo). So, for fun, we figured we'd tell you about things you cannot do in Connecticut per old silly laws that have never been removed the books:
- You cannot ride your bike over 65 mph. (Sorry Lance Armstrong)
- You cannot walk across the street on your hands. (Sorry Shawn Johnson)
- You cannot walk backwards after sunset. (Sorry Michael Jackson wannabees)
- You cannot officially consider a pickle a real pickle unless it bounces.
- You cannot educate a dog. (Do canine cops count?)
- You may not have a dog with a tattoo unless the dog is reported to the police.
- You cannot discharge a firearm from a public highway. (How about a main street?)
- You cannot dispose of used razor blades.
- You cannot pirouette while crossing the street. (Sorry Peter Pan?)
- In Hartford, Connecticut’s capitol city, it is illegal to plant a tree in the street; it is also illegal in Hartford to kiss your wife on Sundays. (Sorry honey, not only is football on, but it’s illegal to kiss on Sundays, you know that.)
