I live in NC........and this had me cracking up.....

 
yea, I used to live in Charlotte.  Never knew about this:
 
Charlotte
Women must have their bodies covered by at least 16 yards of cloth at all times.
 
 
Uhmmm, okay, I know I went to a few pools in Charlotte!  Not to mention sunbathing in the backyard.  (I was a teenager then and I'm sure my bathingsuit wasn't 16 yards of cloth.  Yep, I'm a rebel.)

Sunshine is guaranteed to the masses.

It is a misdemeanor to shoot at any kind of game from a moving vehicle, unless the target is a whale.

No vehicle without a driver may exceed 60 miles per hour.



I dunno ... the authors of this site have quite the whale fetish ...

What a funny website, the home page has hilarious stories and the forum has a section called "dumb playground" ... LOL!

Also in NC, "While having sex, you must stay in the missionary position and have the shades pulled." (What % of the police force volunteer to regulate that one?)

That would be fun making citizen arrests:
- Get up! It seemed you wanted to do it in position B! I'm putting the handcuffs on.
- But I thought you loved me!

Minnesota:

"A person may not cross state lines with a duck atop his head."
- That's a bummer!

I'm in NC.  These are the dumbest laws I have ever heard of!  Who comes up with this stuff??  I want that job![]

i believe it may be the result of far too many people saying "Its a free country, i can do what ever i want!" and someone else saying "Oh yeah?!"

i only wish i could be a fly on the wall when some of those laws were cooked up lol except for the porcupine one.... i have this aversion to sharp needle like pointy things...

Maintaining a car on your property which is no longer in use is prohibited. (we will not be moving to Daytona after all.... we have several cars such as this..)

Destin states that a cat that viciously chases passers-by is a ‘bad cat#%92. (but... is it illegal? - actually that law is pretty much written the way BSL should be written... its the owners fault and that particular animal is labeled "bad" ... but not the breed.)

If you wish to go swimming in the ocean, get dressed in your hotel room. (now i know i need to lose some weight but this is absurd!!)

Termite farms are not allowed within the city. (Miami Beach just sounds dumb now...)

A women can be fined (only after death), for being electrocuted in a bath-tub because of using self-beautification utensils. (call it morbid curiosity, but... how?)

Stage nudity is banned, with the exception of "bona fide" theatrical performances. (i only mention this one because in Leon County - where i once lived - topless bars are illegal and thus banned. so one smart alec invented... BOTTOMLESS Bars... and the local legislation rewrote their law over night then promptly arrested everyone the next day)

Persons may not appear in public clothed in liquid latex. (you know... i just never would have thought of that..."I'm not naked! i am wearing clothes... they're just transparent!! so go away!")

You may not fart in a public place after 6 P.


I guess it's ok then to fart before 6.......

 
My question is, when is it okay to start farting in the morning so that, hopefully, one is all done by 6 p.m.? And does that apply to only humans or must cows also refrain?

Idaho
 
Illegal for a man to give his sweetheart a box of candy weighing less than fifty pounds.(land of large women?  or did a man come up with this law so he could get out of getting his girlfriend a Valentine's day box of chocolates?)  You may not fish on a camel's back.(Now I ask you, has this really been a problem in Idaho?) In Boise:Residents may not fish from a giraffe's back.(well, gosh you made the camel back illegal to fish from, what's that leave us with?)
