Do you know any dumb laws in your state or country? Here are a few I have found. Illinois It is illegal for anyone to give lighted cigars to dogs, cats, and other domesticated animal kept as pets Alabama It is illegal for a driver to be blindfolded while operating a vehicle. Texas A city ordinance states that a person cannot go barefoot without first obtaining a special five-dollar permit. It is illegal to take more than three sips of beer at a time while standing. Washington All lollipops are banned. A law to reduce crime states: "It is mandatory for a motorist with criminal intentions to stop at the city limits and telephone the chief of police as he is entering the town.

In one part of New Zealand, it is still illegal for a woman to wear hair pins over a certain length. In another part of NZ it is still illegal to show too much flesh while at the beach. You are meant to get changed in a changing tent into you body suit that covers your stomach and back and comes down to your knees. you then have to sprint to the water, swim, sprint back and get changed. These are just old laws that they never bothered to change. Nobody actually abides by them.

Very true. Can you imagine how things would be if we still had to follow all of these rules?
