Dumb Laws Needed

[TwoBitTxn]

Ok, I'll pick on my own state now...

When two trains meet each other at a railroad crossing, each shall come to a full stop, and neither shall proceed until the other has gone.

It is illegal to take more than three sips of beer at a time while standing.
(I would be afraid to see what would happen if this were ever enforced)

A recently passed anticrime law requires criminals to give their victims 24 hours notice, either orally or in writing, and to explain the nature of the crime to be committed.

The entire Encyclopedia Britannica is banned in Texas because it contains a formula for making beer at home.

In the great city of Houston (where I grew up)..

Beer may not be purchased after midnight on a Sunday, but it may be purchased on Monday.

Temple Tx...

You can ride your horse in the saloon

No one may ride a horse and buggy through the town square.

And finally Texarkana...

In PA:

It is illegal to have over 16 women live in a house together because that constitutes a brothel. However up to 120 men can live together, without breaking the law.

You may not catch a fish with your hands.

Dynamite is not to be used to catch fish.

It is against the law to carry a concealed weapon without a permit, but you can carry a NON-concealed weapon without a permit unless someone complains about it, then you can be arrested. (this is the condensed explanation that I received when I asked)

Back in the days of Black and White TV, there was a show called "Mr. Ed, the talking horse" Ed's owner's name was Wilbur. The show still might be on Nickolodeon, it was a good clean family program.
If you can imagine Wilbur being said while whinnying, that's how I've always heard the name of the town in my mind; when I heard about that law I fell out laughing.

In Scotland, by law, if someone comes to your door and asks to use your toilet, you have to let them.

I can only imagine this is in direct relation to drunk Scots getting caught short on the way home from the pub!

And before anyone complains - I'm a Scot, born and bred!
