"Don't text and drive"

"Drive the speed limit"

"Don't kill people"

These are all laws that make sense and help keep people safe. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on what way you look at it, every state has at least one law that really stands out as being, oh what's the word, unusual? Unordinary? Different? Okay they are flat out weird! These comedic laws make you wonder what happened to make them exist and who was crazy enough to either carry these acts out or get so annoyed with them that they reported it. Which crazy law(s) has your state adopted?

Alabama -

Did you know that in Alabama, it is illegal for more than eight rabbits to live on the same city block? True story bro. Sorry to Peter Rabbit, Bugs Bunny, The Easter Bunny, Thumper and all other rabbits. If your family is larger than eight, or if there is another family living on the same block, RPC (rabbit population control) will show up and make some of you move to a different area.

Alaska -

Alaska, it is illegal to push a live moose out of a moving helicopter. Yes. You read that one right. Feel free to read it again. And again. It won't change. My questions for this one though. How do you get a live moose in a helicopter? And is it legal to push a dead moose out of an airplane and if so how is that any difference?

ALSO...

In Alaska, it is illegal to serve alcoholic beverages to a moose. Ahhh so that's how the moose got in the helicopter. You go Alaska! Saving the environment one moose at a time! After seeing what Sweden went through with a Moose in a tree, they decided it was best to set laws now before the moose parties got out of control.

Arizona

In Arizona, it is against the law to ride the horse up the stairs of the County Court house. Sorry guys, you're going to have to go up the stairs Rocky style. Caution - if not properly trained, you may not make it all the way up the steps without becoming short of breath. Don't worry though. You still won't bring attention to yourself more than if you had rode your horse.

ALSO

In Arizona it is illegal to bother a bunny. Alabama folks take notes. DO NOT REPORT TOO MANY RABBITS IN ONE AREA BECAUSE THAT IS INEFFECTIVE! I guess it is duck season all year round. Sorry Daffy.

Arkansas -

It is against the law to export bullfrogs in Arkansas. So even if your best friend is Jerimiah, you probably will never understand a single word he says. Do you both a favor and just help him drink his wine. Don't export him.

California -

In California, it is illegal for a duck to quack after 10 PM. Better let Daffy know this way he can keep quiet and hold his tongue or in this case, his beak.

A hairdresser may not hum, whistle, or sing while working on a customer. Snow White is appalled by this, claiming that it is against her rights to "whistle while she works" so she moved to a land far, far away.

Connecticut -

In Middletown, you may not walk down Main street with an ice cream cone in your back pocket. A friend of mine told me this and all I've wanted to do was try it out and see what would happen, besides the obvious that the cone would crack, ice cream would melt and it would look like I had an accident all the way home.

Delaware -

it is illegal for a newlywed husband to go fishing during his honeymoon. This is probably so that the wife isn't on the honeymoon by herself. Let's be real men, if you had a week to do absolutely nothing or anything you wanted, you'd go fishing too. After all, you'll be with your wife every day for the rest of your life. The fishing lake however, this could be your only chance.

Florida -

Kansas -

it is illegal to wash your false teeth in a public drinking fountain. Can they add in brushing actual teeth in water fountains? I've seen it happen before and it's gross.

Kentucky -

One may not use a lizard in a religious ceremony. "In the name of the father, son, and holy lizard, I now pronounce you husband and wife" would have me rolling on the floor laughing. Or perhaps it is to keep someone from marrying a lizard in a church. These are the questions that keep me up at night.

Louisiana -

You may not rinse your mouth or gargle in public. Good law. Great law!
