25 Crazy Laws From Around the World

by lanne , Aug 12, 2007

We have all heard of some pretty silly laws. Here are twenty-five of the craziest I have ever heard of. (With the exception of #25, I think it is an unwritten law everywhere...)

In Bozeman, Montana, a law prohibits all sexual activity from the front yard of a home after sundown.

In Salt Lake County, Utah, it's illegal to walk down the street carrying a violin in a paper bag.

In San Francisco, it's illegal to pile horse manure more than six feet high on a street corner.

In Devon, Texas, it is against the law to make furniture while you are nude.

In Oklahoma, you can be arrested for making ugly faces at a dog. ( What if it's an ugly dog...?)

In California it is illegal for a vehicle without a driver to exceed 60 miles per hour.

      In Memphis Tn its a law that when a woman drives, her husband must run ahead of her waving a flag in warning to other drivers. Now I'm a woman n today we know the "women driver" thing is silly. In fact insurance companies say women have more fender benders while men have more major wrecks. So men, plz don't make me regret givin you this ammo....

      n thse are true, old n not enforced in a long time. Fr example in my town its illegal to eat ice cream on the sidewalk. Silly. But about 80 yrs ago when it was a much smaller town, there was a Rexall drug store on court square, it sold ice cream n ppl ate it outside n dropped it n nobody was cleaning up, ppl complained about havin to walk thru the spilled n discarded ice cream all up and down the sidewalks, and ta-da a silly law was born. Always some background n usually happened yrs ago when the cities were much smaller.

      Compared to some of these, my contribution perhaps pales, but when I lived in Nantucket, Mass there were "Sunday Blue Laws" which included no sexual position allowed other than missionary, and no dancing. That always stuck in my memory...

      What strikes me is that of the 25 weird laws from around the world, almost all of them are from the United States. Is it just a US-Centric article, or are we better (worse?) at making up weird laws?

      When was the last time anyone heard of a horse piling its manure on a street corner? I think who ever came up with some of those laws should realize by now we don't them except for a laugh or two.
