not sure i consider this one stupid as it was probably instituted to prevent sexual harassment, and protect said worker.

Let's have a look at some from Pennsylvania:

*It is contrary to Pennsylvania law to discharge a gun, cannon, revolver or other explosive weapon at a wedding.

*It is illegal to have over 16 women live in a house together because that constitutes a brothel.

*It it illegal to sleep on top of a refrigerator outdoors.

*Any motorist driving along a country road at night must stop every mile and send up a rocket signal, wait 10 minutes for the road to be cleared of livestock, and continue.

*A special cleaning ordinance bans housewives from hiding dirt and dust under a rug in a dwelling.

*You may not sing in the bathtub.

*Fireworks stores may not sell fireworks to Pennsylvania residents.

*A person is not eligible to become Governor if he/she has participated in a duel.

*Any motorist who sights a team of horses coming toward him must pull well off the road, cover his car with a blanket or canvas that blends with the countryside, and let the horses pass.

*Ministers are forbidden from performing marriages when either the bride or groom is drunk.

*Motorized vehicles are not to be sold on Sundays.

*You may not catch a fish with your hands.

*You may not catch a fish by any body part except the mouth.

*Dynamite is not to be used to catch fish.

*Though you do not need a fishing license to fish on your own land, but a hunting license is required to hunt on your own land.

good ones there Shadow, though the one about not marrying anyone who's drunk is standard practice throughout the states i think.

True to that. The one that made me laugh the most was..

*Dynamite is not to be used to catch fish.

Most, if not all, of these laws were made back in colonial times when things like this must have happened so much they finally made laws to stop it from happening. Then, of course, there's the fools who put these laws forward as a joke.
