Water, the one thing we can't live without. Wars have been waged over this precious commodity. In the state of Colorado they are very protective of it! Colorado law reads, "the collection of rain water in barrels or containment of any means is strictly prohibited. All rain water, or precipitation of any kind has already been lawfully allocated to the state of Colorado, and individuals may not capture and use water to which he/she does not have a right". Isn't this taking things a bit too far?

Minnesota has gone too far for animal rights, I know, hush animal lovers, its just my opinion! In the city of Shakopee, Minnesota "it is illegal to bulldoze one's house when 5 or more cats occupy the ventilation systems as THEIR home."  Do these cats pay the rent? Who cleans up after them? All I can picture is a stinking three bedroom litterbox. Yuck!

There are many things we think are offensive, language, jokes, gestures, but you might think Floridians see things just a bit differently. In a state where you commonly see scantily clad men and women in public view on the beach, you would think they are not too concerned about being modest. Believe it or not, they are, but in a totally silly sense. Florida law reads, "it is considered an offense, punishable by confinement or penalty fine, to shower naked." Yep, you can hang every lump and bump out in the sunshine for all to see, but when you go back home to wash of the salt and sand, you better be clothed!

Kansas! Home of Dorothy and Toto, and this silly piece of legislation, "hunting rabbits in a motor boat is strictly prohibited". I had no idea rabbits were aquatic creatures. Or, perhaps, they have an entire rabbit species in Kansas I have never HEARD of? All you rabbit hunter's in Kansas, please enlighten me!

Why do men think that resembling a goat is so cool? Take a look at my profile picture and you will get an idea why I think this next law isn't stupid at all! Massachusetts has an ordinance that reads, "no man may appear in public while his facial hair is trimmed in the style of a goatee, under penalty of law, unless he has paid a licensing fee for the privilege of doing so". I love my wonderful husband more than anything in this world, BUT, the goatee....uhg, that I could live without!

Louisiana has some pretty silly laws, this is one of my favorites! "Biting someone with your natural teeth is classified as a SIMPLE ASSULT, while biting someone with your false teeth is AGGRAVATED ASSULT". Now this hardly seems fair! Granny should be free to defend herself with any means she has without fear of prosecution! However, if she just goes on a biting frenzy for fun, well......

sorry, been very hectic the last few days, stupid laws will be back tomorrow!  promise!

If you find this a bit, DISTURBING, do not visit the city of Oblong, Illinois. They have a city law that reads, "it is unlawful for a man to wear his wife's underpants on Sunday, unless he has prior written permission from the Bishop." Are cross-dressing Oblongians so open that they advertise they wear silky Lacy underthings? Please, unless its a panty emergency and all of YOUR tighty whities or boxers are in the hamper, keep your "Victor's secret" to yourself.

You would think in a place like Alaska there would be enough snow for everyone! Evidently they are greedy with it! Alaska has a law on the books that reads,"stealing snow from a neighbors yard to make a snowman is against the law, but if using snow for the purpose of building an igloo, it is lawful and acceptable." A loophole in the law, just build a snowman with an igloo belly!

Kentucky law reads, " every citizen is required to take a shower once a year". Now, I really hope that Kentuckians  take baths between their yearly shower!

This is actually an Arizona law, "while being attacked by a criminal or burglar, you may only protect yourself with the SAME weapon that the other person possesses." So, if you catch a burglar in your home, do you go grab two baseball bats and hand them one before you wack them over the head? Give me a break! If some  jerk breaks.  into MY home, I'm grabbing the nearest bat, rolling pin, or frying pan and I'm NOT going to wait around to see what weapon they have!

These sweet looking innocent couples would be breaking the law if they were in the city of Tolido, Ohio.  What law could they possibly be breaking? Believe it or not, this one, "while inside the city limits of Tolido, Ohio, you may not speak to any person of the opposite sex, if you hold in your hand a piece of any kind of cheese." Seriously? Some couples in love may say things to each other that could classify as "cheesy", but it seems as Ohioans take this expression literally and don't like it!
