I forget which state for sure, I think it is Nebraska...one of the landlock states anyways. It is against the law to hunt whales. Also, in my small little town, there is still a law from the days that cars were not common. At any intersection you are to honk your horn 3 times, exit the vehicle and look up and down the street to see if any horses are nearby. Also if your vehicle scares a horse enough that it will not move, you are to dismantle your car until the horse is comfortable enough to continue. Thank god there aren't any ranches around here.

In the small city of shepherdstown W.V, it is illegal to park your horse on the left side of the road! Also, the college that is built around the town is not allowed to have sorority houses because of an old law that states that any house with more than three single women living in it is classified as being a house of prostitution!

In Calgary you must have a hitching rail for three horses in front of your store. If you are kicked out of town you must be given a rifle,3 days, of food and a horse.

these sound like areas that someone dreamed up in a western but they are stillon the books here in Alberta.

Why oh why? Some of these laws you can almost understand, but... My kds get the FOX kids club mag and the issue that came yesterday has some doozies! In Danville, PA : all fire hydrants must be checked 1 hour before all fires; It is illegal to take more than 2 baths within Boston confines; Fountain Inn, SC: once horses had to wear pants; Hartford, Conn:illegal to cross a street walking on your hands;OK: no one may take a bite from someone elses hamburger (is a cheeseburger ok) AK: it is illegalto look at a moose from an airplane! Again, why oh why?

missprint in Boston it should read 2 baths a MONTH

That's a dirty law!

In Kennesaw, GA it is illegal NOT to own a gun. That law was enacted in the early 1980's!!!

Denise,

I've heard of that law being in effect in other places too, though none springs to mind. I must be aging.

what is really weird is MS just outlawed slavery less than 10 years ago.

In Medford Oregon it's illigle to ride a bike with an adjustible seat

In Florida, men may not be seen publicly in any kind of strapless gown, although it doesn't say a *word* about off-the-shoulder gowns or, say, cocktail dresses. *ha ha*

Bogie,

Someone better alert Dennis Rodman to that.
