Worlds craziest, dumbest Laws ever

These are some of the crazy laws I gathered,what were they thinking?But first, the disclaimer…..

Many of the laws on this site have been verified, but many have been taken from sources which do not include law citations. The laws have been taken from newsgroups, websites, city governments, and visitors to the site. Keep in mind that this is an entertainment site, we wouldn’t recommend using our laws as evidence in court, unless you’d like the judge to laugh you into jail!
