Default Dumb Laws

So apparently Massachusetts has some pretty silly laws in place including:

At a wake, mourners may eat no more than three sandwiches.

Snoring is prohibited unless all bedroom windows are closed and securely locked.

All men must carry a rifle to church on Sunday.

It is illegal to go to bed without first having a full bath

A woman can not be on top in sexual activities.

No gorilla is allowed in the back seat of any car.

No one may cross the Boston Common without carrying a shotgun in case of bears.

Duels to the death permitted on the common on Sundays provided that the Governor is present.

No one may take a bath without a prescription.

One may not detonate a nuclear device in the city. (Does this mean two can?)

All families must be given a hog from the town’s mayor.

An ordinance prohibits the use of space guns.


Now check your state
Dumb Laws in United States. Crazy United States Laws. We have weird laws, strange laws, and just plain crazy laws!

I wonder how well that would hold up haha. Go into church with a rifle, and argue that. "Hey there were no prohibited signs, and the law said I have to!!"

Omg, gotta post something so I remember to read these later on... Have bumped onto some totally insane laws in the past, some that has clearly been written sometime in the dark ages and no longer serve their purpose, some that are just plain stupid... I remember reading that it is accepted to land a helicopter in the mall parking lot IF one doesn't own a car, and somewhere it was legal to beat your wife in the court stairs on sundays, somewhere was a law that if there is a cow on the road, you must stop your motorcycle and start to take it apart until the cow is no longer scared of it, and somewhere it was illegal to drive in the fog for over 30mph, unless someone is walking in front of the car carrying a lantern...

Mine's not the US, but in Guernsey ANY motor vehicle operator is allowed to block any public road for up to 20 mintues, you do not have to have a reason either
