Dumb Laws Needed

[jazscam]

Does anyone know of any dumb, outdated or just plan stupid laws?

For instance, did you know in Texas it's illegal to conceal a six foot or longer weapon.

Or, in Pittsburgh it is illegal for a monkey to smoke for commercial pruposes.

Just looking to see how many exist.

When I was growing up in Tucson in the 70's there was a law on the books that required a watering trough for horses every hundred yards.

In Abilene TX there's a law that prevent any liquor selling establishment with 100 yards of a church. Not only that, if a store is in place and a church opens up, the store must move or close.

In Idaho every one being released from the State Pen is entitled to a horse, $20 in gold, and a gun.

In Texas, it is illegal to have sex with a fish. In Florida, it is illegal to get a fish drunk. North Carolina thought both laws were good, so in NC it is illegal to have sex with a drunk fish.

Now, I haven't tried having sex with a fish, but I did get one drunk one time. Thank goodness I wasn't in FL at the time. The fish and I jumped on American Airlines and flew to Dallas. It's all about the laws and borders, man. Besides, that fish was a Damsel, and she was 21.

California Penal Code 597. Cruelty to an animal, Misdemeanor.

Am I missing something, or isn't an elephant an animal?
