Examples:

"It is illegal to cause a catastrophe."

"Women may not swear."

"It is illegal not to drink milk."


Methinks there is a Mormon influence on some of these laws.

A husband is responsible for every criminal act committed by his wife while she is in his presence.

"It is illegal to detonate any nuclear weapon."

Was this a problem back in the day?

Some of these laws seem like they were written in response to a specific incident, like this on from Alabama:

"It is illegal to wear a fake moustache that causes laughter in church."

It has been a couple decades now but sex with animals used to be legal. A Rep. Harward of Prove even justified voting against making it illegal in stating "you just don't understand how it is in the rural areas". Yep, he actually said it.

On a similar note - do you know what the successful cloning of Dolly the sheep means in Utah? Every boy in Panguich can now have the prettiest girlfriend in town.

And Spencer Kimball missed it? I'd imagine he would have been all over this.

He didn't miss it. He said that masturbation leads to homosexuality and implies that homosexuality leads to bestiality.

Sorry, I didn't express myself as clearly as I should have. My bad.

What I implied Kimball had missed was that bestiality had been LEGAL in Utah for all those years, and that the Honorable Mr. Harward voted to keep it legal for all those righteous, but masturbating and possibly homosexual, rural Utah County covenant keepers.

In Tremonton, Utah, the law states that no woman is allowed to have sex with a man while riding in an ambulance.

In Venture County, California, cats and dogs are not allowed to have sex without a permit.

In Ames, Iowa, a man is not allowed to take more than three gulps of beer while lying in bed with a woman.

Just say so if you want more. Funny ones or crazier ones?

I always thought it odd that the WoW said nothing about Milk. Maybe JS was lactose intolerant and every time he farted he thought it was a visit from the Lard. Because I'm SURE that he thought his farts smelled like roses....

Here in Los Angeles:

It is illegal for a man to beat his wife with a strap wider than 2 inches without her consent.

(And the safety word is.....)

my favorite utah law makes it illegal for the great salt lake to rise above a certain level.

Pennsylvania law:
Any motorist driving along a country road at night must stop every mile and send up a rocket signal, wait 10 minutes for the road to be cleared of livestock...

But where am I supposed to get the rockets?

Fireworks stores may not sell fireworks to Pennsylvania residents.

A painter may NOT paint a wooden ladder in Alberta.

As much as it pains me to say it.....

the laws on anyone's books are absurd in the extreme to the uh.... angelic man, as Thomas Jefferson put it....

There is not a soul among us that can walk out the front door into the fray without breaking some silly or sincerely enacted law.

More than that I shall not say, except:

Keep your chin up and your head low.
