Crazy Laws,

I came across these laws (which are supposedly real, ) awhile back. I have a hard time believing some of them (really any of them), but they gave me a laugh so I thought I would post them. :)

In Kansas:
~ When two trains approach each other at a crossing, they shall both come to a full stop, and neither shall start up until the other has gone.

In Alaska:
~While it is legal to shoot bears, waking a sleeping bear for the purpose of taking a photograph is prohibited.

California laws:
~Belvedere City Council order reads: "No dog shall be in a public place without its master on a leash." :D

In Florida:
~Law forbids rats to leave the ships docked in Tampa Bay.
~It's illegal to fish while driving across a bridge.

In Maine:
~You may not step out of a plane while in flight.
~Unless you have a doctor's note, it's illegal to buy ice cream after 6 PM in Newark, New Jersey.


In Pennsylvania:
~Danville: All fire hydrants must be checked one hour before all fires.

In Tennessee:
~It's illegal for frogs to croak after 11 PM.
~In Memphis, it is illegal for a woman to drive a car unless there is a man either running or walking in front of it, waving a red flag to warn approaching motorists and pedestrians. Driving is not to be done while asleep.
~Any motorist driving along a country road at night must stop every mile and send up a rocket signal, wait 10 minutes for the road to be cleared of livestock, and continue. -(I find this one hard to believe.Of course they are all strange. LOL).

Those are pretty hilarious! It would be interesting to know how the people of Tennessee enforce the law that says a frog can't croak after 11pm!:D

Hm... Not sure I can swallow any of those really. Except maybe the one from California-- Californians are pretty different... :D

Peace! --Jacob

I would hate to live in a state that didn't allow you to buy ice-cream after 6 p.m.!
