    Dumb laws. I'm pretty sure every country, city, state, crevice and crack in the world will have at least one of them that makes no damn sense!

    Here's one from my country: "As it is considered pornographic, you may not walk around your home nude."
     
    You can become legally married by registering at a motel or hotel as "married."
    A marriage can be declared void if either of the two persons is physically impotent. [LEGIT]
    Serving alcohol at a bingo game is not allowed. [LEGIT]
    Bingo games may not last over 5 hours unless it is held at a fair. [LEGIT]
    It is a felony to steal more than $1,000 of grease.
    No one may be a professional fortune-teller, and if one wishes to pursue the practice as an amateur, it must be practiced in a school or church. [LEGIT]

    And in Charlotte,
    Women must have their bodies covered by at least 16 yards of cloth at all times.

    Where on Earth are these from?!
     
    1. You can "legally" kill people.
    2. The State will do its darndest to get a couple to stay married.
    3. Annoying people can be charged for being merely annoying.

    The 3rd is the most hilarious of them all.
     
    Here are some of the dumb laws in Washington State:

    The harassing of Bigfoot, Sasquatch or other undiscovered subspecies is a felony punishable by a fine and/or imprisonment.

    X-rays may not be used to fit shoes.

    When two trains come to a crossing, neither shall go until the other has passed.

    It is illegal to paint polka dots on the American flag.
     
    I remember hearing that somewhere (I can't remember exactly where) but it is illegal to wear a bulletproof vest while committing a crime.

    I shit you not.
     
    New York. Welcome to it.

    "Women may go topless in public, providing it is not being used as a business."
    "Slippers are not to be worn after 10:00 PM."
    "A fine of $25 can be levied for flirting."
    "The penalty for jumping off a building is death."
    "New Yorkers cannot dissolve a marriage for irreconcilable differences, unless they both agree to it."
    "A person may not walk around on Sundays with an ice cream cone in his/her pocket."
    "Raw hamburger may not be sold."
    "It is illegal for men to go topless in the center of town."

    actually googled mine:

    • "Persons could land in jail for up to ten years for stealing an alligator."

    Dude... I found a bunch of alligator stealing laws we have! Im more criminal then I thought. They're awesome pets for 3 days, and we have them up the ass. Quit treating them like Orcas. Pretty sure my brother ran over one yesterday.

    • "Fake" wrestling matches are prohibited."

    So okay with this one.

    • "It is illegal to gargle in public places."

    Gettin real tired of ur shit Listerine users.

    • "It is illegal to shoot lasers at police officers."

    We passed this when Star Wars was super popular in the 80's.

    • "Biting someone with your natural teeth is "simple assault," while biting someone with your false teeth is "aggravated assault."

    Holy fuck. Vampires. True Blood is real I guess?

    • "It is illegal to rob a bank and then shoot at the bank teller with a water pistol."

    Our banks are hella easy to rob.

    • "One may not "dare" another to go onto railroad tracks owned by another."

    I'm already in jail like, 3 or 4 times overs, so fuck it. Hobo that shit up.
     
    Where I'm from it's unlawful to deny someone a glass of water. I get courtesy water all the time but a lot of people I know think it kind of a silly law. You can also get 25 years for cutting down a fucking cactus.

    Also you can't have more than two dildos in a household. wth man, crazy Arizona laws
     
    Google claims that Australia has laws such as
    - Taxi cabs are required to carry a bale of hay in the trunk.
    - It is illegal to wear hot pink pants after midday Sunday.
    - Children may not purchase cigarettes, but they may smoke them
    Canada:
    It is illegal to pretend to practice witchcraft.
    I'll be sure to properly practice witchcraft when in Canada then!
     
    "Anyone found guilty of masturbation may be decapitated."

    Apparently it's a thing in Indonesia. Is it still a law here though? I'm curious.

    Not that I don't know why it's a thing
     
    I used to live in Illinois (Chicago burbs) and guns are practically banned there. You can get one but it's extremely difficult so a vast majority of gun owners are criminals. Yet the city of Chicago has the highest murder rate every year due to guns. Hmm.
