Ludicrous Laws

[tgillespie]

I found some of these quite funny. My favorite would either have to be:

7. LAW: A man may not seduce a woman by lying, and claiming he will marry her.

or

9. LAW: It is illegal to wear a bulletproof vest while committing a murder.

Hehe, how amusing!

[Dean C]

Hehe I was reading in the national newspaper about Mike Tyson's big "comeback" in Kentucky. And you can get arrested for wearing your hat the wrong way around?

[Floris]

I wonder if law 9 applies to the netherlands too!

Unless a customer orders it specifically, it's against the law to serve margarine instead of butter at a restaurant.

Why is that?

To protect consumers from restaurants cutting corners I would assume.

Lmao!!...Ummm just so that you know, they don't arrest anyone for wearing your hat the wrong way around...But there are a few places that won't allow you entrance if your pants are so baggy you can see ones boxers, and in that account I am pleased..I always wanna ask the ppl who wear them that way if they put on their dads pants by accident..lol
But here's a Kentucky law for you:
By law, anyone who has been drinking is "sober" until he or she "cannot hold onto the ground."

I find it amusing that you can buy seeds for certain plants legally, but the second you put them in the ground it is ilegal

I've ready some stupid ones in my time, there is a old county law in my state that says it is ilegal to bath in public on sundays. lol

True

In germany you may consume marijuana (you must be 18 or older) but it's illegal to own it.

So what, you smoke your friend's stash and they smoke yours?

Here is one for you. I live in the desert of California. We get like 4-6 inches of rain every year. Right now we are in a drought mode.

However, the local city council has passed a groundskeeping ordinance that can result in a $500 fine if your grass is brown or dead. So I have to use imported water that could go to crops or wetlands restoration elsewhere in the state to keep my lawn green during mild drought situations. The only exclusion is if we go on water rationing. Luckily it only applies to the frontyard. In the backyard, I have nothing growing at the moment.
