Weird and dumb laws

"The penalty for jumping off a building is death."

[ghettochild]

If an elephant is left tied to a parking meter, the parking fee has to be paid just as it would for a vehicle.

When having sex, only the missionary position is legal.

A license must be purchased before hanging clothes on a clothesline.

It is illegal to fish for whales on Sunday.

The entire Encyclopedia Britannica is banned in Texas because it contains a formula for making beer at home.
