About time MI had a good one.

Saw this one on the site

It is legal for a robber to file a law suit, if he or she got hurt in your house.

Ahh and a good one from Harper Woods, MI

It is illegal to paint sparrows to sell them as parakeets.

Makes me think of Ace Ventura with the dead parakeet

Here in Ga. I read some good ones:

All sex toys are banned. ( oh wow )

It is illegal to use profanity in front of a dead body which lies in a funeral home or in a coroners office.

Acworth....All citizens must own a rake. ( I bought one this year )

It is illegal for one to make a disturbing sound at a fair. ( I can't even tell you how many times I have done this )

In Atlanta....One man may not be on another man’s back.

In Columbus, Ga....No one may tease an idiot. ( Guilty )

In Kennesaw...( I live 5 miles from there...Every head of household must own a gun. This is not a dumb law BTW.)

The one about not being legal to keep alligators in your bathtub isn't bad either.

Not to generalize, but the deep South states seem to have the best ones.

I live in the South and I hate to say it, but it's true. Us rednecks will do anything.

City law in Rochester Michigan

"All bathing suits must have been inspected by the head of police."

Inspected for what?

Decency.

Man, that law probably dates back to at least the early 1900's when they still did that.

Love this law. Whitehall MT, right on the Continental Divide (Butte being on the west side and Whitehall on the East):

It is illegal to operate a vehicle with ice picks attached to the wheels.

I grew up in Butte. I know all about highs of -40* for weeks on end and heavy snow, but ice picks?

btw, I have seen homemade snow tires: strips of leather with nails tied around the tread. Yes, the sharp end (at least of the nail) was pointed out.

markem · 04-23-2010, 02:39 PM

and since I now live in Oregon ...

It is illegal to place a container filled with human fecal matter on the side of any highway.

Tickets are still written for this offense. Think long haul truck driver.

I still like the MA law that states that you can't put tomatos is clam chowder (that's Manhatan clam chowder).
I worked at a hospital that served that and I was constantly harrassing them about it, but no cop would give them a ticket or arrest them!!!!
