VERY STRANGE LAWS: PART 1

If you want a good laugh, you need to go through state laws because believe me when I tell you, you will find some comedy. We hope that we’ve given you enough good advice that you don’t have enough time to sift through a book of state laws so we at Mens Mag Daily did it for you, and sadly enough, we’ll probably do it again. Anyway, we’re assuming these laws are incredibly outdated or actually there’s really no excuse for any of them in any period of time but they’re funny and we included pithy comments about every law so hilarity is guaranteed to ensue.

In New Hampshire, with parental consent, males only need to be 14 and females 13 years of age in order to get married.

MMD Says: Really? 13 years old with parental consent? And not to mention, what parent in their right mind would allow their daughter to get married at the age of 13? If you’re young enough to still use a pencil case you’re way too young to get married. Oh, New Hampshire, you’re giving the East Coast a bad name.

In Alaska, moose may not be viewed from an airplane.

MMD Says: Okay, this law is ridiculous on so many levels. We’re not sure if they mean that moose sightseeing airplane tours or something are prohibited or that if you’re in a plane and there happens to be a moose in sight you should close your eyes but either way, insanely stupid. Plus, it’s Alaska, what the hell else are you supposed to do but look at moose? And if you’re in a plane then so be it.

It is against the law to refuse a person a glass of water in Arizona.

MMD Says: This law is actually pretty cool. Arizona reaches temperatures of about 6 billion degrees so if you find yourself nowhere near a store it only makes sense that people are forced to give you a drink so you don’t die. It’s kind of forcing people to be neighborly, which is always good, but I’d like to think that if somebody was dying of thirst then somebody would give them some water even if they weren’t forced to by law.

In Little Rock, Arkansas it is illegal to honk your car horn after 9 P.M. at a sandwich shop especially one where they serve cold drinks.

MMD Says: There’s nothing I love more than sitting down at Subway to enjoy a pastrami foot long and a cold drink while listening to incessant horn honking. I only like it up until 9 P.M. though. After that I demand silence.

In Colorado, it is illegal to throw missiles at cars.

MMD Says: Ummm, okay so I’m not sure if the brilliant folks in Colorado mean shooting missiles at cars or physically throwing missiles but one would think shooting or throwing missiles at anything would be illegal, or possessing missiles for that matter. If you threw a missile at a house, would that be cool because it’s not a car? They must have written this law after the legalization of marijuana.

In Rocky Hill, Connecticut it is illegal for an arcade to have more than four amusement devices such as pinball machines, Ping-Pong tables, shuffleboards, etc.

MMD Says: Four pinball machines does not an arcade make so if you want to open an arcade in Rocky Hill maybe you should call it a fun station or an awesome zone so you can have more than four kids in your establishment. Also, we’re pretty sure this would be a hotbed for pedophiles in a small town.

In Kentucky, it is illegal to sell a duckling, chicken, or rabbit that is dyed blue unless you are selling more than six at once.

MMD Says: We only have 5 ducklings that are dyed blue. We left the other 3 au natural. Guess what that means? We can dye the other 3 blue or we can keep them. We think we’ll keep them.

In Oregon, it is illegal to place a container filled with fecal matter on the side of a highway.

MMD Says: This one really gets us upset. First of all, where the hell are we going to drop our containers filled with fecal matter when we’re in Oregon? Also, since there’s nowhere to dump it we won’t be able to defecate into containers. Thanks a lot Oregon, thanks a lot.

In South Carolina, you must be 18 years of age to play a pinball machine.

MMD Says: Isn’t this kind of defeating the entire purpose of pinball machines? Maybe they meant that if you were over 18 it is illegal to play pinball machines. If this law is not some sort of administrative error then South Carolina is likely to have the oldest virgins in the United States and possibly the world. They’re telling people not to start playing pinball until they turn 18. Before you know it, they’ll demand that all men move into their grandmother’s basement and only bring with them a vat of Funyons, a PlayStation, and a Star Wars bathrobe.

In Tennessee, it is illegal to bring skunks into the state.

MMD Says: What scares us the most about this law is that nobody could have just come up with this. This actually happened. Somebody, at some point in time, drove into Tennessee with a car full of skunks.
