10 weird laws... florida at both ends of the ridiculous regulation list... starting with #10:

10. miami forbids skateboarding in a police station.
9.london - it is illegal to die in the houses of parliament!
8. ohio makes it unlawful to get a fish drunk
7. in alabama it is illegal to drive blindfolded (d'uh)
6. london also makes it illegal to hail a cab if you have the plague (which i hear is actually making itself a nuisance in los angeles these days)
5. san salvador punishes drunk driving with death by firing squad...
4. vermont makes it mandatory that a woman have her husbands WRITTEN permission to wear false teeth
3. france does not allow one to name a pig napoleon
2.kentucky forbids carrying a concealed firearm more than 10 feet long
1. florida statute makes it a jailable offence for unmarried women to parachute on sundays.

i warrant most if not all of these laws long precede the advent of socialism ...

regarding number 8 = it really isn't fair to the fish. there is no law about people getting drunk and eating fish. so, theoretically, the fish can get drunk after it dies, but not before. totally unfair.

# 7 - have you ever seen the guy who drives at high speed blindfolded with any passenger? he picks up the vibe from the passenger and takes curves at high speed. I don't think i want to be his passenger...but it is so interesting to watch him do it! hope he doesn't live in alabama.

#1. they probobly jail college girls ... toursits for big fines for paprasailing on sundays.

rediculas laws!!!!!

Just make sure it's under 10 feet. You'll be fine!

Is it okay if someone else hails it for you? Good thing for buses, trains and trams then.

Sheesh, harsh! I mean, poor girl was up there with her binoculars trying to find her soulmate.

Of course, they'd make it legal for the married ones. Oops! Which husband packed the parachute?
