The magic never ends...
There are some old laws that hasn't been changed. Some of them are really really weird, some scary, and some so amusing ^_^
Clicky
Here are a few:
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]*"Boogers may not be flicked into the wind." (Alabama) :rolleyes:
[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]*"[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]In Delaware you may not sell dead people for money without a license." (Delaware) :eek:
*"[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Beer may not be purchased after midnight on a Sunday, but it may be purchased on Monday. It is illegal to sell Limburger cheese on Sunday." (Texas) ^_^

I don't know if it counts as a law, but I think the IRS was a dumb idea.
 
Laws against nudity are the dumbest. It makes people think there's someting wrong with it which only leads to wanting to see it more. If it wasn't for the laws, it wouldn't be such a huge deal to so many people.
 
"It is illegal to wear a false mustache to church with intent of making someone laugh" (Alabama)

"If a woman to driving your carriage after dark, you must get out and walk 6 yards in front of the carriage with a lantern to warn passers by" (Alabama)

"It is illegal to throw pickles at passers by on Dexter Avenue in the City of Montgomery" (Alabama)

"It is illegal to be seen anywhere in downtown Montgomery with Ice Cream (or Ice Cream Cone) in your back pocket" (Alabama)

Best state in the Union, imo.
