This posting isn't specifically about any great or impressive individual or mocking an individual etc. This post is actually a list from a site I happened upon this evening!
It was about 50 Bizarre US Laws. Unfortunately humans are exclusively responsible for the stupidity, ridiculosity (yes I just made that word up) and (nearly) unbelievable nature of these laws.
What is really great about this list is they selected some of the silliest laws not some of the most out of date or morally objectionable laws or even the most unenforceable laws.
They also went state by state so nobody would be left out, what a great idea, I am sure they could have found 50 in the Carolinas alone!
Here is a short selection:
Alabama
It’s illegal to wear a fake mustache that causes laughter in church.
Arkansas
It’s illegal to mispronounce the name of the state of Arkansas.
Colorado
It’s unlawful to lend your vacuum cleaner to your next-door neighbor (Denver).
Connecticut
A pickle cannot actually be a pickle unless it bounces.
Florida
If you tie an elephant to a parking meter, you must pay the same parking fee as you would for a vehicle
That last one is important for all of you elephant drivers out there. Maybe if you have been reading No-Profundity, one of my other blogs, you will have noticed it's post today was on elephants.
