States have created some pretty weird laws over the years. There is usually some reason or story behind why a law is created, but reading the law with no context can be an entertaining experience. Here are some of the strangest and most random laws I could find.
Alabama: You may not have an ice cream cone in your back pocket at any time.
But your front pocket is fine, don't worry.
Arizona: Donkeys cannot sleep bathtubs.
But my donkey needs his favorite shampoo bottle to go to sleep.
California: No vehicle without a driver may exceed 60 miles per hour.
Please, keep your driverless cars to 55 miles per hour for our safety.
Florida: If an elephant is left tied to a parking meter, the parking fee has to be paid just as it would for vehicle.
That’s only fair.
Hawaii: Coins cannot be placed in one’s ears.
This state does not trust magicians.
Indiana: The value of pi is 3.
This state does not trust mathematicians.
Louisiana: “Fake” wrestling matches are prohibited.
We want real wrestling or nothing.
Minnesota: A person may not cross state lines with a duck atop his head.
A real duck or a duck mask?
New Hampshire: Any cattle that crosses state roads must be fitted with a device to gather its feces.
My cows always have diapers on.
Pennsylvania: Dynamite is not to be used to catch fish.
But it works so well.
South Dakota: No horses are allowed into Fountain Inn unless they are wearing pants.
Keep it classy, horses.
Washington: All lollipops are banned.
They are too sticky.
Be careful to strictly adhere to these laws when you are in these states. I'm sure they are enforced heavily by police. It's a dangerous world out there when people don't pay to park their elephants and forget to buy pants for their horses.
