Stupid Laws

Ok, as a Paralegal major I find it amusing to sit and look at all the stupid and dumb laws that are still on the books in the states now. It seems that they people that handle the listing of these things would wake up and realize that they don't really apply anymore. Anyway here are a few from the Kentucky area:

***Throwing eggs at a public speaker could result in up to one year in prison.

***One may not dye a duckling blue and offer it for sale unless more than six are for sale at once.

***It is illegal to fish with a bow and arrow in Kentucky.

***Dogs may not molest cars.

***A woman may not buy a hat without her husband's permission.

***By law, anyone who has been drinking is "sober" until he or she "cannot hold onto the ground".

***It is illegal in Kentucky to marry the same man more than 3 times.

***It's illegal to fish in the Ohio River in Kentucky without an Indiana Fishing License.

***No person shall sell, exchange, offer to sell or exchange, display or possess living baby chicks, ducklings, or other fowl or rabbits which have been dyed or colored; nor dye or color any baby chicks, ducklings or other fowl or rabbits; nor sell, exchange, offer to sell or exchange or to give away baby chicks, ducklings or other fowl or rabbits, under two months of age in any quantity less than six, except that any rabbit weighing three pounds or more may be sold at an age of six weeks. Any person who violates this section shall be fined not less than $100 nor more than $500.

So what do you think about the crazy laws that are still on the books in Kentucky? LOL Personally I find them to be quite amusing to think about. Especially when you read the one about the dogs and the cars and the blue ducks. I mean seriously was this ever an issue in the old days?
