I was just surfing the web and found some pretty interesting laws. Not that I really think they follow through anymore. They were however pretty funny to read.
1. You may not tap your feet, nod your head, or in any way keep time to the music in a tavern, restaurant, or cafe.
2. You cannot sell the clothes you are wearing to pay off a gambling debt.
3. It is considered an offense to check into a hotel under an assumed name
4. It is illegal to pick seaweed up off of the beach
5. Any cattle that crosses state roads must be fitted with a device to gather its feces.
6. You may not run machinery on Sundays.
7. On Sundays citizens may not relieve themselves while looking up.
8. In cemeteries it is illegal to: get drunk, picnic, enter at night, and enter by one’s self if that person is younger than 10
9. If a person is caught raking the beaches, picking up litter, hauling away trash, building a bench for the park, or many other kind things without a permit, he/she may be fined $150 for ”maintaining the national forest without a permit”.
This is pretty interesting. I'm going to look at a few more states that I have lived in. Hmmmm... these are really fun to read.

I actually used to read the books about these types of laws when i was little. I don't remember who wrote them, but he wrote more then one book (for young adults) and the entirety of the book, was silly laws. They are cool to see!

Ha and I live in this state and I never heard any of these rules lol. Im deffintley going to try number one watch I get a fine or arrested wich would be pretty stupid but deffintley funny to tell people how you got arrested by tapping your feet in a tavern lol. But these are some rediculous rules wich im sure a lot of states have them.
