Taxi cabs are required to carry a bale of hay in the trunk.
Bars are required to stable, water and feed the horses of their patrons.
It is illegal to roam the streets wearing black clothes, felt shoes and black shoe polish on your face as these items are the tools of a cat burgular.

Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Does this mean I can't go to the movies?

I've read a lot of these before, but I never get tired of them. Stupid, Stupid laws.

~While riding in an elevator, one must talk to no one, and fold his hands while looking toward the door.

That one is actually a law everywher in America.

gomer, what happens is that some states will pass some crazy law, everyone forgets why it was passed, and then some years down the road the law is still on the books. i am glad to see that one of my favorite stupid laws (about carrying an ice cream cone in your pocket) is still out there
