Dumb Laws

According to a website devoted to "dumb laws," the following laws are among the 25 most absurd:

In Florida, it is illegal to have sexual relations with a porcupine.
In San Francisco, California, persons classified as "ugly" may not walk down any street.
In Alaska, it is considered an offense to push a live moose out of a moving airplane.
In Chico, California, you can be fined $500 for detonating a nuclear device within the city limits.
In Kansas, if two trains meet on the same track, neither shall proceed until the other has passed.
In San Francisco, California, it is illegal to wipe one's car with used underwear.
In New York City, citizens may not greet each other by "putting one's thumb to the nose and wiggling the fingers."
In Minnesota and Virginia, you're not allowed to park your elephant on Main Street.
In Oxford, Ohio, it's illegal for a woman to strip off her clothing while standing in front of a man's picture.
In California, no vehicle without a driver may exceed 60 miles per hour.
There's a lot more "so stupid it's hard to believe" laws out there. Go to the Dumb Laws website and have some fun looking around.
