I found some Wacky Laws and stuff they are pretty funny. it realy is amazing how these laws get passed…
In the city limits of Mount Dora, Florida, a pet rooster cannot say cock-a-doodle-do.
In Centerville, Ohio, cars are not allowed to scare horses.
If a horse keels over in New Yourk City, you should put a lantern next to his head.
Pet goldfish that make a disturbance are not allowed to ride buses in seattle.
December 23, 2002 at 5:21 am #99015Jeff HesterKeymasterThose are hilarious. It amazes me how many well-meaning laws (at one time) are still on the books. Even more amazing is that the government has so many full-time politicians who keep making MORE laws.
We don’t need more laws, we need fewer laws, and better enforcement of the ones that make sense.
December 23, 2002 at 5:33 am #99019magistykMemberWell of course, we’re the country that let’s people sue for some of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard of.
Like the lady that spilled coffee all over her pants and sued McDonalds and got $2 million…

So often its those 12 idiots we hijacked from ‘civilian street’ that need the swift kick in the patoot.:DDecember 23, 2002 at 7:12 am #99018AnnaParticipantHah. Here’s one for you. Here were I live – they’re considering banning gang colored clothing from public schools. I understand the reasoning behind that – but in my city; gang colors are mostly red, blue n’ white! They’re such common colors!
Hah. That’s pathetic. If that law passes through – students aren’t allowed to wear the color red blue or white in school. *sigh* What, are we supposed to walk around wearing barrels like in cartoons? [:P]
December 23, 2002 at 9:03 am #99021PhilMemberYou could always wear a bin liner if the worst comes to the worst……that law is a bit sad!!! i wouldnt be surprised if Tony Blair did something like that in the UK!! and then Gordon Brown charged people for following the law!! yes you heard, not for breaking the law, for FOLLOWING THE LAW!! lol…what would you do, you couldn’t break or coincide with the law…….thats how greedy the government is!! i really wouldn’t be surprised!!
December 23, 2002 at 5:40 pm #99017melneeMemberDee, the 12 idiots usually chosen are all folks that are gonna naturally give someone like that woman 2 million for being a clumsy nut and spilling coffee on herself, because most have the same dreams of riches awarded to them somewhere down the road for doing nothing but being stupid or clumsy themselves. Its called a society full of GREED! 🙁
December 24, 2002 at 2:53 am #99020Mr. DiablosMemberThere’s a place in California where it’s illegal to bathe in your office building, and another place where you’re not allpwed to answer your door nude…:confused:
January 4, 2003 at 5:57 am #99024dees_ben_jamin3MemberDid anyone hear about the woman who tried to sue McDonald’s b/c her son got fat? She said it was due to the nutritional info not being visible. Im not sure if this is over or not, but at least she hasn’t succeded…..YET

March 20, 2003 at 4:02 pm #99026RJMemberI remember that coffee incident at micky dee’s. I didn’t know she got 2 Million!!!!!!!!!!?????
I always thought the cup had it written on them to “be cautious – content may be hot” in the first place, if so I don’t see how that case would have flown. I know dunkin doughnuts always had these warnings on their cups.
Hey, I stubbed my toe by kicking a public stone pillar, can I sue for at least 1 mil for that? lol.
March 24, 2003 at 2:02 am #99023SlumMemberHere are a couple of my favorite laws:
In Florida: 1. Having sexual relations with a porcupine is illegal
2. If an elephant is left tied to a parking meter, the parking fee has paid just as it would for a vehicle.In New York: 1. The penalty for jumping off a building is death.
In Ohio: 1. It is illegal to fish for whales on Sunday.
2. It is illegal to get a fish drunk.In Texas: A recently passed anticrime law requires criminals to give their victims 24 hours notice, either orally or in writing, and to explain the nature of the crime to be committed.
:rolleyes:
