Woman: Yes?
Man: Can I beat you with this?
Woman: Why sure!

Woman: OW!

And they keep coming:
No person may charge admission to a house party
All persons wishing to keep a rhinoceros as a pet must obtain a $100 license first.
Growing oleander flowers is illegal.
It is illegal to molest butterflies(LMAO!)
It is illegal to walk a camel down Palm Canyon Drive between the hours of four and six PM.
It is illegal for a secretary to be alone in a room with her boss.(I see some sense in this one)
It is illegal to fish from an overpass in the city.
No person may carry a fish into a bar(so a fish walks into a bar...and gets arrested)
One may not carry a lunch down the street between 11 and 1 o'clock.
And this isn't even close to the end.
With all due respect, ~~~Mr. Cain and Mr. Abel

All of those laws make perfect sense to me. I will alert the government of my country to add those to the book of laws.

Here's some laws for those of you in San Fransisco:
Prohibits elephants from strolling down Market Street unless they are on a leash.
It is illegal to wipe one's car with used underwear
Persons classified as "ugly" may not walk down any street.
It is illegal to pile horse manure more than six feet high on a street corner.

here is a list of stupid laws here in NYC. I was inspired to post this list after reading the other posts here..
- A fine of $25 can be levied for flirting. This old law specifically prohibits men from turning around on any city street and looking "at a woman in that way." A second conviction for a crime of this magnitude calls for the violating male to be forced to wear a "pair of horse-blinders" wherever and whenever he goes outside for a stroll.
- A license must be purchased before hanging clothes on a clothesline.
- The penalty for jumping off a building is death.
- While riding in an elevator, one must talk to no one, and fold his hands while looking toward the door.
- Slippers are not to be worn after 10:00 P.M.
- A man can't go outside while wearing a jacket and pants that do not match. (Carmel)
- Women may go topless in public, providing it is not being used as a business. (New York)
- It is illegal for a woman to be on the street wearing "body hugging clothing." (New York)
- Citizens may not greet each other by "putting one's thumb to the nose and wiggling the fingers". (New York)
- It is illegal for men to go topless in the center of town. (Ocean City)
- It is illegal to eat in the street in residential neighborhoods, and the only beverage you can drink on the beach is water in a clear plastic bottle. (Ocean City)
- It is illegal to disrobe in a wagon. (Sag Harbor)
- If one wishes to bathe in the city limits, they must be clothed in a "suitable bathing suit". (Sag Harbor)
- It is illegal for a father to call his son a "mullet" or "queer" in an effort to curb "girlie behavior." (Staten Island)
- You may only water your lawn if the hose is held in your hand. (Staten Island)
- It is against the law to throw a ball at someone's head for fun.
- A person may not walk around on Sundays with an ice cream cone in his/her pocket.
- New Yorkers cannot dissolve a marriage for irreconcilable differences, unless they both agree to it. That rarely happens, since one party regularly says "no" to the other, or there wouldn't be a reason to dissolve the marriage. If one of the spouses says "no" to the divorce, the other party has to prove that the spouse saying "no" was at fault. Fault could be one of four terrible things. If the spouse has abandoned the other spouse, that is, left the house for a year or if there hasn't been sexual relations for a year (how do you prove that?). Another one of the four terrible things, an oft cited fault, is to assert that the spouse has treated the other spouse with physical or mental cruelty. This is usually the case in most deteriorating marriages, but for the court's purposes, yelling and screaming is not usually enough; pictures of bruises taken in the emergency room might suffice. Divorce will be easy if the spouse has been imprisoned for two or three years. Much more difficult is the last fault, adultery. This keeps a lot of private detectives in business, since lipstick on the collar is not proof. It also means that lawyers get paid to "prove" fault, or on the other side, to show how lame the opposing side's "fault" claim is.
- While riding in an elevator, one must talk to no one, and fold his hands while looking toward the door.
- During a concert, it is illegal to eat peanuts and walk backwards on the sidewalks.
- Citizens may not greet each other by "putting one's thumb to the nose and wiggling the fingers".
- It is also illegal to have a visible erection in public.
