Every state has their own set of weird laws. I found this website which allows to find weird laws within your own state. As you guys know, I live in New York state.

Here are some of my favorite ones from the NY article:

You need a license to hang clothes on a clothesline to dry.

It’s illegal to have a puppet show in your window.
You cannot allow your donkey to sleep in your bathtub.

One cannot snack on peanuts while walking backward on the sidewalk while attending a concert.

I know some of you are from other countries. I found can find them here.

Which silly/stupid/weird laws does your state or country have? Keep in mind, we all have them.

My favorites for Maryland:

A woman may not go through her husband's pockets while he is sleeping.
In Baltimore, it is illegal to wash or scrub sinks no matter how dirty they get.
It is a violation to be in a public park with a sleeveless shirt.
You cannot swear while inside the city limits of Baltimore.

Those are wonderful....bad laws. The first one is my favorite of them.

In Florida…

• A special law prohibits unmarried women from parachuting on Sunday or she shall risk arrest, fine, and/or jailing.
• If an elephant is left tied to a parking meter, the parking fee has to be paid just as it would for a vehicle.
• In Florida it is illegal to fish while driving across a bridge.
• It is illegal to skateboard without a license.
• Women may be fined for falling asleep under a hair dryer, as can the salon owner.
• You are not allowed to break more than three dishes per day, or chip the edges of more than four cups and/or saucers.

Ah yes, the infamous unmarried woman who falls asleep under a hair dryer while parachuting on Sunday, who breaks four dishes as she fishes off a bridge while driving, while her unlicensed skateboarding elephant with a parking fee trails behind her.

One of Florida’s greatest cold cases.

"You cannot allow your donkey to sleep in your bathtub."

GEORGIA: In the state of Georgia, it is illegal to keep donkeys in bathtubs. ARIZONA: However, in Arizona it's okay to let your donkey stand in the tub, but they cannot sleep in the bathtub.

In Italy we have a proverb, if you wash a donkey 's head, you waste your time and soap.

Welcome to New York:

It is illegal to place an ice cream cone in your pocket in public on Sundays.
When attending a concert, it is illegal to snack on peanuts while walking backwards on the sidewalk.
One cannot wear slippers after 10 pm.

and of course:
No One is Allowed to pee on Pigeons in the Park.

Oh and oddly enough we also have the donkey in the bathtub law. I wonder what kind of strange donkey in a bathtub epidemic occurred to have many states have this law.
