The nerve of some law-makers.

It is not legal to sleep naked in Minnesota. And your bathtub must have feet.

Rhode Island does not allow lunatics and idiots to marry -OH REALLY?? Or throw pickle juice on trolley cars (define "pickle juice" please).

Alabama will not let you take a bath in a public fountain -at least in Moblile...

...and the State of Georgia will not let you give your ass a bath in a bathtub (donkey that is).

I equate the defence of marriage acts from various state legislators among these.

 
Until very recently (like the last ten years or so) there were liquor regulations in Washington State that said that everyone in a cocktail lounge had to be seated. Your drink had to be bought to the table by a staff member, and women couldn't be seated at the bar. Most places ignored those rules, but a few stuck to them.

And you couldn't serve liquor unless you had a restaurant attached that sold more food than the bar sold liquor. So lots of incredibly overpriced dining rooms that had a thriving "catering business"

The regulations also stated that you couldn't have windows in the lounges (lest people see you in your shameful state) and the entrance had to be inside the restaurant (so you couldn't sneak in. The respectable diners got to see you skulk in)

Oh, and bars could stay open until 1am. Unless it was Saturday night, when they had to close at midnight.

And people nowadays complain about "The nanny state" ;-)
 
In Alabama, it is illegal to carry an ice cream cone in your back pocket.

Tennessee bars using lassos to catch fish.

In Gainesville, GA, it is illegal to use utensils to eat fried chicken.
 
Oh, and Toggle, where I live it is prohibited to hitch an animal to the courthouse fence. This is despite the fact that the courthouse hasn't had a fence since 1963.
 
In Kansas

You are still required:
When meeting a horse at a crossing, the driver of the motor vehicle must shut off his engine and cover the motor vehicle with a tarp as not to startle the horse.

Until around the first of this year you could not purchase alcohol on Sunday.
 
That's because

here in the South fried chicken is meant to be eaten without a fork or knife. I remember when that was passed fa-f3-20.

Silly yes, and a waste of tax money to introduce such legislation. Be it local ordinance or on the State level.

The town of Kennesaw in the north Georgia mountains passed a local law that ALL citizens must own a hand gun. I reckon that way you shoot the offender who dares to use a fork and knife on that fried chicken!
 
In Alaska, you can't look at moose from an airplane.

If I remeber correctly, one of Clint Eastwood's first acta as mayor of Carmel (?), California was to repeal a law against eating ice cream in public.
 
Toggles, that's really incredible. As in I don't believe it. How would police or anyone have any idea who's gay and who isn't?

I wouldn't put anything past Florida but this story is truly unbelievable.
