The one's from my hometown were hilarious I'm going to give my opinions on whether i think some of them are False, as i don't pay much attention to many Laws These days except for the ones that matter.
Note: I edited in my thoughts of the Laws in the quote, so that is not the original version. |

Yesterday in my American Indian History class, the instructor was listing the powers a sovereign nation has, one of which was to make and enforce laws; for the laws to make sense is not a requirement. She gave an example that immediately made me think of this thread: In Minnesota, it is illegal to dance with a loon. Oh well, there goes my weekend.

It must be hard to be a vegan in Utah.
But what if it's an emergency?
I haaaaaaaate this law, I haaaaate this law . That's a violation of rights, ya know! *grumbles*
I like this law! It should be everywhere! (Mixed laws)

This actually might be one of the more sensible laws on here. Moose can and do get drunk (usually off of fermenting fruit), and when one goes on a drunken rampage, it's not pretty.

1. Seriously, who does that? 2. Gee, I haven't had milk in years. I'm surprised they haven't arrested me over this. 3. Yeah, tell that to all the motorists who have made them roadkill. :rolleyes: 4. Fair enough. 5. How can we break that when there's no ocean here? 6. Gee, I have snowball fights all through winter and haven't been fined yet. ![]() Okay, who's the idiot that came up with these?

True... It makes one wonder just what happened in order for such a law to ever get made, though. That's one railroad operator who royally screwed up... |

My question on that one is, how do you tell the chickens? Besides that, how do you charge a jaywalking chicken? Fine it a week's feed? Lock it in the chicken coop? Or send it straight to the electric
