Laughter is Good Medicine: Strange Laws 2
by Another look at quirky laws that are written in some places in the world.
I firmly believe that laughter is the best medicine of all so here is part 2 of strange laws. Take a break and have a chuckle. You never know what you may find in here to bring a smile to your face.
1. In Zion, Illinois, USA, it is written in the law that it is illegal to offer your pets a cigarette but with the price of cigarettes today I really can’t see that happening.
2. This one is a beauty. In St. Louis, Missouri, USA; it is against the law for a fireman to rescue a woman in her nightdress. So ladies even if you’re visiting stay fully dressed while sleeping you may not have time to change.
3. Ames, Iowa offers a law that is strange; men are not allowed to have three sips of beer while they are in bed with their wives. This must be why men get loaded before they come to bed!
4. This one has me stumped. In Maryland, USA it is still illegal for the radio stations to play Randy Newman’s song “Short People”. Maybe this is why I have never heard of it.
5. If you’re ever in Oklahoma don’t make faces at a dog, it’s against the law it could result in a jail sentence or you getting a face lift if you chose the wrong dog.
6. Texas has a neat law. Criminals are required to give a 24 hour oral or written notice giving details of the crime there are going to commit. Now wouldn’t this be a nice gesture I can see it now, Dear Madame, you can expect me at midnight tomorrow night. I will be only taking the silver ………
7. In Washington, USA don’t pretend you have rich parents it’s against the law. Our daughter may find herself in jail.
8. This one is really stupid and I would love to know how it got written into a law. In Baltimore, Maryland, USA it’s against the law to take a lion to the movies. Now why would anyone in their right mind want to do that unless they want the lions share? (Excuse the pun lol).

There must be a lot of Firemen with slapped faces for saying “Sorry lady but you’ve got to lose the nightdress”

This is just as funny as the first one. But the funniest parts are the little blurbs you insert at the end of the laws.
Another great job! Jax
