I came across this certain article that, apparently, talks about weird laws in the states of the US of A. And I find them extremely amusing. Heck, take a look at them yourself. =)
Alabama - It’s illegal to wear a fake mustache that causes laughter in church.
Author's comment - It's not the right thing to do either. Still, it's amusing to see a police officer taking you outside the church and saying, "You're under arrest for wearing that stupid mustache on your stupid face." Ha!
Alaska - Whispering in someone’s ear while he’s moose hunting is prohibited.
Author's comment - What is moose hunting in the first place? *goes google* oh, it meant what it says, literally. Well, I don't know. Maybe they have surveillance cameras on grounds where you hunt these poor moose. (Yep! Moose is the plural of moose, much like in the case of deer and sheep.)
Arizona - Cutting down a cactus may earn you a twenty-five-year prison term.
Author's comment - The hell is with this? Are cactus worshipped as gods there?
Arkansas - It’s illegal to mispronounce the name of the state of Arkansas.
Author's comment - Such nonsense! Don't go to this place unless you know the right pronunciation!
California - You may not eat an orange in your bathtub.
Author's comment - I LOLed at this. Seriously? How can they know if you eat oranges while in the tub?
Colorado - It’s unlawful to lend your vacuum cleaner to your next-door neighbor (Denver).
Author's comment - WHY?!?!?!?!
Connecticut - A pickle cannot actually be a pickle unless it bounces.
Author's comment - I even didn't know that a pickle BOUNCES. So if you declare the existence of something as a pickle and you failed to make it bounce, they're gonna get you arrested. Great.
Delaware - It’s illegal to get married on a dare.
Author's comment - Is there even somebody who'd willingly marry someone just because of a dare? Well, unless their lives are at stake.
Washington, D.C. - It’s against the law to post a public notice calling someone a coward for refusing to accept a challenge to duel.
Author's comment - Maybe I'll post 'You imbecilic moron!" instead.
Florida - If you tie an elephant to a parking meter, you must pay the same parking fee as you would for a vehicle.
Author's comment - What's a parking meter? *goes google, kidding. I'm lazy.* Why tie the elephant in the first place? LET IT LOOSE AND DESCEND UPON MANKIND AND SEE THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE FREE PARKING SPACE!
Georgia - It’s illegal to change the clothes on a storefront mannequin unless you draw the shades first.
Author's comment - SERIOUSLY. *speechless*
Hawaii - All residents may be fined for not owning a boat.
Author's comment - There's the word 'may'. Maybe.
Idaho - A man must not give his sweetheart a box of candy weighing fewer than fifty pounds.
Author's comment - I'm telling you, a lady made this law! She got so angry at her sweetheart for giving her less candies than she deserveS. But still, why would a man give candies? Why not chocolates? Some men.
Illinois - It’s illegal to take a French poodle to the opera (Chicago).
Author's comment - Maybe I'd take an American poodle, maybe a Japanese poodle (if it even exists.)
Indiana - The value of pi is 4, and not 3.1415.
Author's comment - Oh sh*t. Still, pi being 4 will ease the study of Mathematics. No need for calculators, guys!
Iowa - One-armed piano players must perform for free.
Author's comment - Maybe one-armed police officers can be ignored for free, too!
Kansas - It’s illegal to throw knives at men wearing striped suits (Natoma).
Author's comment - Yeah, do not throw. STAB! Kidding.
Kentucky - Every citizen is required to take a shower once a year.
Author's comment - ONCE A YEAR? Yes. I imagine a trial. How would the defense defend the person in question? Maybe they'd take pictures of him/her taking a shower, with the date indicated, and present it to the jury.
Louisiana - Biting someone with your natural teeth constitutes simple assault, but biting someone with your false teeth classifies as aggravated assault.
Author's comment - Bite him with the teeth of the comb. Or with the teeth of a tiger. A living tiger.
Maine - If you keep your Christmas decorations on display after January 14, you’ll be fined.
Author's comment - Here in the Philippines, Christmas decorations are displayed until November. They are removed on December to display newly purchased decors.
Maryland - It’s against the law to wash or scrub a sink, no matter how dirty it is (Baltimore).

Author's comment - I see my son holding a shotgun. Okay boy, I'mma buy this PlayStation 3 for you. Anything for you.
Montana - It’s a felony for a wife to open her husband’s mail.
Author's comment - Guys who made it a hobby to have affairs should live here. IF they're too old-fashioned to even mail. Why not use e-mail? Or is it covered in this law?
