Dumb Laws That May Still Be On The Books
Get the women and children off the streets, the lawmakers are in session!
I did just a wee bit of research on some of the USA's dumber laws. Most if not all of these laws simply haven't been repealed or rescinded so they still technically exist. Feel free to add your own to the list.
I must start off in my own hometown of Thomasville, GA, where it is unlawful to"TEASE OR HARASS IDIOTS." I actually remember reading this one in the city's code book.
From Columbus, GA, you risk a fine or jail sentence if you "CUSS OVER THE TELEPHONE."

If you live in or visit Alaska, remember that it's against the law to "THROW A MOOSE FROM A MOVING AIRPLANE."
In New York, it is illegal to "RIDE AN UGLY HORSE."

It must be comforting to Missouri residents to know that their fire department can "BLOW UP YOUR HOUSE."
California: Against the law to "SELL THE CLOTHES YOU ARE WEARING TO PAY OFF A GAMBLING DEBT."
The Arizonians have made it illegal "FOR A WOMAN TO BUY A HAT WITHOUT HER HUSBAND'S PERMISSION."
It must be really boring in the cornfields of Indiana because it's unlawful to "WHISPER DIRTY THINGS IN YOUR LOVER'S EAR DURING SEX."
In Oregon, you had better not "WALK BACKWARDS AFTER SUNSET."
I thank my God daily that I never had to work from this particular set of laws. Many of the ones I did have to work from were silly enough.
