Everyone knows that some things are definitely against the law, like theft and murder. However, there are still some laws in effect today that definitely make you say, "What?" I've done a little research and found some of the strangest laws, so you can make sure not to break them.

1. In Indiana, it's illegal to utilize public transportation or attend a public event within four hours of eating onions or garlic. Now no one likes to get a whiff of onion breath, but I'd like to know who was so offended by it that they decided it needed to be against the law.

2. In San Antonio, Texas, flirting is illegal. As a person from Texas, I had to read this twice. I understand that obvious flirting between two people can make innocent bystanders uncomfortable, but this is a little extreme.

3. In Washington, a motorist with criminal intentions must stop at the city limit and telephone the chief of police to let them know he is entering the town. Well darn. There goes my plan to rob people in Washington.

4. In Arizona, if you are caught stealing soap, you must use the soap to wash yourself until the entire bar is gone. I guess the punishment does fit the crime. Just don't do soap, kids.

5. In Waynesboro, Va., it's illegal for a woman to drive a car down Main Street unless her husband is walking in front of the car waving a red flag. Apparently we women are such bad drivers that we are not allowed to drive cars without a giant red flag in front of us to warn other drivers that a woman is driving it.

6. In Washington, you can be arrested for harassing Bigfoot. Come on, Washington. Sasquatch has feelings too.

7. In Alaska, it's illegal to wake up a sleeping bear for a photo op. More commonly known as "suicide."

8. In Connecticut, a pickle is not considered a pickle until it bounces. I wonder if they have special pickle-bouncing machines that make sure each pickle has proper bouncy-ness before they send it off to be sold.

9. In Kansas, if two trains meet on the same track, neither shall proceed until the other has passed. I only have one thing to say to this (cue Gandalf GIF): "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!"

10. And finally, it is illegal to go whale fishing in Nebraska. If you don't understand why this is ridiculous, I've included a map of the U.S. with Nebraska highlighted in red.

Do you see any ocean in Nebraska? Do you see the problem with this law?

If you ever decide to travel the United States, make sure to do research on the states' weird laws so you know what not to do. Just a reminder that all of these laws are still in effect today, so as long as you don't go off stealing soap or harassing Sasquatch, you should be good.

(P.S. Dear Government, I have no intention to rob people in Alaska. It's called sarcasm.)
