Stupid Laws? I found 10 of them to share

It is considered an offense to shower naked in Florida. Move to Indiana . You can take a bath there during the months of April and September.

An anti-crime law in Texas requires criminals to give their victims notice, oral or written, 24 hours in advance of the crime they are planning to commit and the nature of that crime. "Dear Mr. Bank President, I'm planning to rob your bank tomorrow. Please leave the vault door open.”
 

In Massachusetts no gorilla is allowed in the back seat of any car. How about if I put him in the front seat? With a seat belt?

Baths may not be taken between the months of October and March in Indiana. Was this law sponsored by the deodorant companies? Move to Florida . You can take a shower there. Just don’t get naked!

In Alabama, putting salt on a railroad track may be punishable by death. Could we call this condemnation by condiment?

Having sexual relations with a porcupine is illegal in Florida. Having sexual relations with a porcupine is not only illegal; it is impossible – unless you’re a porcupine, too.

Chicago, Illinois forbids fishing while sitting on a giraffe's neck. Wonder if that would apply if you are sitting atop an elephant – or a water buffalo – or a hippopotamus? 

 It is illegal to rob a bank and then shoot at the bank teller with a water pistol in Louisiana. So it’s O.K. to use a real gun?

 In Massachusetts no gorilla is allowed in the back seat of any car. How about if I put him in the front seat? With a seat belt?



In Vermont, whistling underwater is illegal. That one I’d like to see for myself.
