However, voting is apparently still allowed, at least if you're a Democrat.- mejaredme, on 04/29/2008, -0/+22That's the thinking in Washington, too.
- rightwingattila, on 04/29/2008, -4/+9Only if you're a dim that is!
- lodibug3, on 04/29/2008, -0/+17What would they do with their time if they couldn't make MORE LAWS?
- Leomarth, on 04/30/2008, -0/+6Their job title is "Law Maker"... so obviously if they weren't constantly making more laws, they'd not be doing their job... and we can't have that, can we?
/sarcasm - masterm1nd, on 04/30/2008, -0/+6redistribute your property
- i1chocolat, on 04/30/2008, -0/+2Amend laws ? Lol

- camelseye, on 04/29/2008, -0/+9Hey. Knowing this has really changed my life. Thanks! :)
- mejaredme, on 04/29/2008, -1/+5If you think this is funny...please SHARE, STUMBLE, and REDDIT!
- ZenaTWQ, on 05/05/2008, -0/+4Strong message, sure wish more people would pay attention.
- Antarcticn, on 04/29/2008, -0/+3and sing in the bath in Pennsylvania
- KFantasy017, on 04/29/2008, -0/+2Slurping your soup in New Jersey, jumping off a building in New York, and sleeping on top of a refrigerator in Pittsburgh are also illegal.
- synystar, on 04/29/2008, -0/+3Those are all reasonable policies and should be standard for all states in my opinion. A live moose being pushed out of an airplane might be something that very rarely happens in Missouri but I certainly wouldn't like it if some one did.
- brycelb, on 04/30/2008, -0/+4The mental image of someone hunting a whale from their car is just priceless.
- amanilaenvelope, on 04/30/2008, -1/+2did you know its against the law in San Fransisco to walk down a street if your classified as "ugly".
- atlarbs, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1...as it should be....lol.
- UltramegaOK, on 04/30/2008, -0/+9From Washington State:
"A law to reduce crime states: “It is mandatory for a motorist with criminal intentions to stop at the city limits and telephone the chief of police as he is entering the town."
Here's a better site with far more content:
http://www.dumblaws.com/- doshindude, on 04/30/2008, -0/+2i think most of those are fake though.
- Pfkninenines, on 04/30/2008, -0/+5It's illegal for a girl to ask a guy out in Vermont. Glad nobody gets punished for that.
Oh, and no aliens in public. (Pretty sure we had some messed up leaders back in the day) - riversc, on 04/30/2008, -0/+2but where would i leave my croc?
- FizzanoMatrix, on 04/30/2008, -0/+5Wrote a paper on these back in middle school. Got a D. Apparently it was illegal to criticize obscure laws.
- twtmc, on 04/30/2008, -0/+3Or you just suck at writting.
- jmpeagle, on 04/30/2008, -1/+2true fact: It's illegal to buy a dildo in Texas while giving a reach around to a spider monkey while saying the pledge of allegiance in korean
- bashnu, on 04/30/2008, -0/+4It is illegal to Not wear a Life vest on a boat, yet it is legal to be in the water without a life vest.
- Falldog, on 04/30/2008, -1/+4...smoking pot in America
- Monkeydew06, on 04/30/2008, -0/+2For these laws to exist usually means that they have occured somewhere and caused a considerable amount of problems. I can understand not allowing someone to shoot the top off on their can, but putting ice cream on a cherry pie? How the hell did that happen?
- Monkeydew06, on 04/30/2008, -0/+4Also, it's illegal to hunt whales in Oklahoma. Wrap your mind around that one.
