Laughter is Good Medicine: Strange Laws 2
by Another look at quirky laws that are written in some places in the world.
9. Tremonton, Utah, USA, has a quirky law. Can you believe this? It’s against the law to have sex with a man in an ambulance you can be charged with a misdemeanor and have your name printed in the paper. Get outta here, sex while you’re having a heart attack? Not!
10. If you’re in Oxford, Ohio, USA, check out your hotels room pictures before you undress. The law says it’s forbidden to undress in front of a picture of a man. Leave your picture of hubby at home.
11. The Taliban in Afghanistan forbids women to wear white socks as men may find it attractive. The police also paint the windows of the house black to stop women from seeing outside. I guess it saves on cleaning windows and difficult laundry.
12. Impotency is a very serious issue in the USA. It is the grounds for divorce in 24 states. Does that mean that when you hit 50 it’s out the door? Thank Goodness for Viagra!
13. If you are in Iowa make sure you don’t kiss for longer than five minutes after this you are breaking the law. I think I would be safe on this one.
14. In Chico, California it is against the law to detonate a nuclear device within the city limits. You could get fined $500.00 that is if they can find the pieces after.
15. Lebanon offers a law that states it is legal to have sex with any animal as long as it is female. Now this is really going to the dogs!
16. In Turkey in the 16th and 17th century it was forbidden to drink coffee anyone that broke this law would be sentenced to death. Not a place for Timmy’s !
17. Singapore has a dilly. A person can be executed if they are found with 200g of cannabis. That would sure cut down on the population around here.
18. In Birmingham, England it’s against the law to have sex on the church steps after sundown. Does this mean that during the day it’s okay?
19. In Alberta, Canada every convict that is released is entitled to a gun and a horse to ride out of town on. Maybe that’s why I’ve seen so many riders on the road side trails.
20. Is there nothing sacred in Minnesota, USA, it is against the law to hang men’s and women’s underwear on the same clothes line. This is one place where “his” and “hers” pays off.
Well that’s it for the funnies. I promise I won’t be back on this subject. Hope at least someone got a smile from this. I have to admit I am curious why some of these laws were enforced but maybe another time ………

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
