Can you create your own crazy law?

Asked by erichw1504 (26448points) May 20th, 2011

You’ve probably heard some of those weird laws that exist in different states and elsewhere around the globe.

For example: No person may keep a smelly dog in Galesburg, IL.

There are thousands of others on that site, so browse around!

If you could make up your own insane law, what would it be? Please state the law and where it is to be enacted.

There’s a law in Hawaii that’s still on the books where you can’t put a dime in your ear. Personally I would like to outlaw Crocs Shoes in Hawaii. I think they are gross and smelly.

It is illegal to sit under the orange tree without Wundayatta’s permission.

Since no one except me knows which orange tree is the orange tree, this essentially puts all orange tree on the forbidden list.
