I had so much fun mocking some of the laws from
YOU CAN GET ARRESTED FOR, that I went on a
hunt. Reportedly, a guy named Otto von Bismark
said, Laws are like sausages. It is better not
to see them made. I beg to differ. Especially on the why they were made part.
In Miami, Florida, it is illegal to dress
Alligators in womens clothing. Womens
clothing. Not mens clothing, you noticed. Thos
leads me to the conclusion that Miami is opposed to cross-dressing alligators.
In Boston, Mass, it is illegal to use a computer
in a way to induce sexual arousal in rodents.
Now you know this one is recent! Im suspecting
MIT had something to do with this one.
In Brooklyn, New York, it is a misdemeanor for a
taxi cab not to carry a bale of hay in the trunk.
Or to feed your horse within 150 feet of a
gathering of publicly elected officials. This
seems a bit petty to me on both accounts,
considering that Manhattan was suffocating in
manure before the subway. I refer to:
In San Francisco, its illegal to pile horse
manure more than six feet high on a street
corner. See? San Franciscans have their
priorities in order as well as being fabulously color-coordinated.
In Mesquite, Texas, for example, its a crime for
children to have unusual haircuts. How I could
have used this law back in 1959 before my mother
cut my bangs on a slant so steep that my comb
needed a St. Bernard to rescue it.
And in Bexley, Ohio, its illegal to install slot
machines in an outhouse. This makes sense. Can
you imagine the line of people with their legs crossed waiting to get in?
In Atlanta, its illegal to tie a giraffe to a
telephone pole. I vote for this one. Thats just wrong.
Last, but not at all least is my very favorite:
(drum roll, please)
In Kansas it is illegal to strap a mongoose to
the roof of your car and to drive more than 15
mph. If that didnt make you laugh out loud, you are impaired.
