Out-of-date Laws

Post by Illuminati »

Inspired by this story on CNN ( http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/02/23/dancin ... index.html ), you can not dance in a bar in New York City! So post up any out-dated laws you have heard of... here is one I heard in college.

There are no sorority houses in Kirksville, MO because there is an old law that states that no more than X (I can't remember the exact number) number of girls can live in the same house because it would then be classified as a whorehouse!

Same law is in MA. But you can get a waiver and its really never enforced.

There is a lot of laws like this apparently. It just takes too much time and effort to re-write them.

Over here it is illegal to drive a bicycle on the sidewalk. Although, I think they have this law in case somebody wants to sue the city.

lots of stupid laws: http://rubistar.4teachers.org/inspirati ... laws.shtml

but the most idiotic of them all to me is the sodomy laws in some states, that prohibit oral sex even in case of a married couple... if you are unlucky enough, to be in such a state and get a hard headed, conservative judge - you could get years in prison for having oral sex with your wife... if they find out :axe:
