Strange Laws Monday
Posted on April 21st, 2008 by Adam
It’s another Monday, which means that it’s time for another post about strange laws. I have no theme in mind this week, just a random assortment of weird and wacky laws from around America.
- If you’re considering a tattoo, think twice about getting inked in South Carolina: it is considered an offense to get a tattoo in the Palmetto State.
- South Carolina also frowns upon keeping horses in bathtubs.
- Rabbits may not be shot from motor boats in Kansas.
- Baseball may be America’s favorite pastime, but it can’t be played in Excelsior Springs, Montana, because it’s against the law to throw balls within city limits!
- Pocatello, Idaho has a novel approach to building a friendly community—no one may be seen in public without a smile on their face in that city.*
- Women in California may not drive in a housecoat.
- In Baltimore, Maryland, it is illegal to take a lion to the movies.
*This law may or may not still be on the books, but it is remembered every year with an annual “Smile Fest.”
