The best one I have seen is something like:

A woman is not permitted to drive a car down the main street, unless her husband walks infront of the car waving a red flag.

Classic.

YES! There is nothing worse than a prickley 'stashe. If I was some sort of a god-like deity I'd make it so the only form of allowable facial hair was a small, fitting goatee. BEST. LAW. EVAR.

I don't know if those are serious. I don't know if these are serious.

Either way, "it is illegal to feed whiskey to or offer cigarettes to the animals at the local zoo" is seriously unfair and should be rectified. You heard me, New Jersey.

I'd love to know the story behind some of those, becuase for a lot of them, someone had to be breaking those laws for them to make them. For example... Riverside
* One may not carry a lunch down the street between 11 and 1 o'clock.

Now I'd love to know what happened there to make that a law.

Haven't you heard of the Riverside Lunch-Stealing Gnomes? Or the Riverside Lunch-Stealing Gnomes' Reign Of Terror, back in '68? Bad times. You can't tell me you'd want anything like that to happen again. Thank goodness for the law.
