These are fantastic! Great thread!
In PA,
It is 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 ten minutes for the road ahead to be cleared of livestock, and continue.
A special cleaning ordinance bans housewives from hiding dirt or dust under a rug in a dwelling.
You may not sing in the bathtub (I can't find anything against showers, though...)
A person is not eligible to become Governor if he/she has participated in a duel.
Motorized vehicles are not to be sold on Sundays.
You may not catch a fish by any body part except the mouth (EEKK! Thank Heaven for the fishing rod!!)
Dynamite is not to be used for catching fish.
Though you do not need a fishing license to fish on your own land, a hunting license is required to hunt on your own land.
In Tarentum, PA, horses are not to be tied to parking meters.
I think I read somewhere that in California you need a hunting license to set a mousetrap. | |

As for the 50 cent thing.. I think its you can't pay for anything OVER 50 cents with just pennies, and who would? Its silly!
| I once thought about paying my taxes in all pennies just to tick people off... I never did but I still think it'd be kinda funny... Quote:

Fast forward to modern day. Some cab driver got smart and decided to relieve himself in rush hour traffic. When a police officer saw him and went to site him for public urination, the cabbie quoted the law to him. So the officer wrote him up for not carrying a bale of hay instead.
I always really liked that story. | |

Also, I think the barefoot thing harkens back to when the pedals were made of metal and could get hot. Being barefoot would be a danger because if you stepped down and it burned your feet, you might take your foot off the brake and cause an accident. I openly flout this law every day. :p | |
