I believe that there is no such thing as an unwanted child, just unfound families.

Birth is an act of nature. Adoption is an act of God.

Persuading another person to go to a massage therapist after 11pm is a misdemeanor Minnetonka, MN Law


You can not eat hamburgers on Sunday St. Cloud, MN Law

It is illegal to cross state lines with a duck on your head. Mn Law

Entering Wisconsin with a chicken on your head is prohibited. Mn Law

It is illegal to tease skunks. MN Law

Every man in Brainerd is required by law to grow a beard. Brainerd, MN Law

I live in North Carolina, and we have a few....

No one may be a professional fortune-teller, and if one wishes to pursue the practice as an amateur, it must be practiced in a school or church.

It's against the law to sing off key.

Elephants may not be used to plow cotton fields.



If a man and a woman who aren't married go to a hotel/motel and register themselves as married then, according to state law, they are legally married.

All couples staying overnight in a hotel must have a room with double beds that are at least two feet apart.



A marriage can be declared void if either of the two persons is physically impotent.

Public use of white canes by other than blind persons prohibited.

Fights between cats and dogs are prohibited. (Barber)

It is a misdemeanor to urinate or defecate publicly. (Chapel Hill)

Women must have their bodies covered by at least 16 yards of cloth at all times. (Charlotte)

It is illegal to drive cars through city cemeteries for pleasure. (Dunn)

No one may visit their departed loved ones late at night. (Dunn)

It is illegal to throw rocks at a city street. (Dunn)

No person shall spit on a city street. (Dunn)

You must stop and call City Hall before entering town in an automobile. This is so the townspeople will have time to go out and hold their horses until you get through town. (Forest City)

Restaurants "with on sidewalk dining" must post their menu so that it is clearly readable from the sidewalk, but is not readable from the street. (Greensboro)

You may not ride a bicycle without having both your hands on the handle bars. (Kill Devil Hills)

It is required that you must pay a property tax on your dog. (Rocky Mount)

It is against the law to rollerblade on a state highway. (Southern Shores)

Also, in our neighboring town of Galax, Virginia, it is illegal to drive a car down main street!

Glad to know we aren't the only state with stupid laws!!

Hey All....


Just a reminder that we are a family friendly site. Some edits have been made to posts to remove inappropriate statements. Mostly about sex. Let's ixnay the sex laws.

While it may be funny and totally silly, we do have to follow the rules of family friendly content.

Thanks!
Crick
