OT Really dumb laws

[AkersTile]

Look at dumblaws.com

This is an actual law in Rhode Island:
Any marriage where either of the parties is an idiot or lunatic is null and void.

I really love school assignments some times.

Presumably the law stems from a time where both terms were valid and either would imply that the person was not legally fit to consent to a marriage...

..in which case the law ain't dumb at all

Sigh.

Dogs must have a permit signed by the mayor in order to congregate in groups of three or more on private property.~~ OK

Someone please let me know when OK starts arresting dogs

It is illegal for the owner of a bar to allow anyone inside to pretend to have sex with a buffalo. ~~ also OK

I'm not really sure what to say about this.

You smile politely, cough, and turn your head.

Talk to the next person.

You really have to watch those bar owners though. They evidently allow all kinds of shenanigans, the likes of which this wench has never seen before!

It's also illegal in MO to own a bathtub with feet resembling those of an animal.

And I like this one...

Women are prohibited from wearing corsets because "the privilege of admiring the curvaceous, unencumbered body of a young woman should not be denied to the normal, red-blooded American male."

WHAT?!

Oh my goodness, the local Wench's Guild would be horrified to read of this travesty!

This Indiana one is pretty interesting:

A man over the age of 18 may be arrested for statutory rape if the passenger in his car is not wearing her socks and shoes, and is under the age of 17.

 

[Gail in Georgia]

In Atlanta Georgia it's illegal to tie a giraffe to a telephpne pole or street lamp.

It's also illegal in Georgia to keep a donkey in a bathtub.

Drat! Where do I park my giraffe? I suppose I could move the donkey out of the bathtub and move the giraffe in there.

So, if the young lady is wearing ONLY her shoes and socks, you're in the clear?
