JKozzy

§pearhead
In Burllington MA its illegal for two men to carry a bath tub across the town green. blink

Linkalicious
i'm sure it's obsolete because who in the world (other than the amish) churn their own butter?....but the officer said that if someone was caught doing it, then they would be punishable.

Baylin
Yup apparently its one of those quaint little laws thats never been obsoleted... big grin

You guys won't believe this one:

It is a crime for dogs that reside in the Los Angeles area to mate within 500 yards of a church. Breaking this law is punishable by a fine of $500 and/or six months in prison.

This one IS the dumbest:

In East Los Angeles Zoot suits are prohibited.

§pearhead
Thats...sad. blink

Off topic here: Is it true that a dog once got voted for mayor somewhere in Cali once?

Trinity_Matrix
blink Can't say I ever heard THAT before...

Putting salt on a railroad track may be punishable by death.
Boogers may not be flicked into the wind.

You may not pay for a fifty-cent item with only pennies.

"Putting salt on a railroad track may be punishable by death. "

That one actually makes sense. A train can be derailed by something as small as a penny. So what I'm saying is that if you put enough salt down, you could derail a train.

Kaleanae
sad

§pearhead
messed it's a bit extreme but makes sense
