These are some of my favorite from the state I live in Georgia
Quitman, Ga.
It is illegal for a chicken to cross the road.
Well I guess there goes all their "Why did the chicken cross the road" jokes.
Atlanta, Ga.
Against the law to tie a giraffe to a telephone pole or street lamp.
Who in the world is going to tie a giraffe to a pole or even have a giraffe in the first place.
Jonesboro, Ga.
It is illegal to say "Oh, Boy."
I just don't get this one.
Georgia State Laws
Donkeys may not be kept in bathtubs. (Umm, ok)
Signs are required to be written in English. (I like this law, I think it should be a national law, no offense to people who live in this country and dont speak english but in my point of view if someone is going to come into this country to live here they need to learn to speak english.)
No one may carry an ice cream cone in their back pocket if it is Sunday. (Why would someone even carry an ice cream cone in there back pocket any day.)

Dumb Laws from the UK:
All men over 14 are required to carry out 2 hours of longbow practice a week supervised by the local clergy.

It is illegal to stand within one hundred yards of the reigning monarch when not wearing socks (enacted by Edward VI)
It is illegal to impersonate a Chelsea pensioner (until very recently, this was in theory one of the very few crimes still punishable by death)
It is illegal for a Member of Parliament to enter the House of Commons wearing a full suit of armour.
It is illegal for a lady to eat chocolates on a public conveyance

Yep. We are all required to own a longbow (under a law passed by Henry III in 1251) and to 'have the use' of it by practicing regularly (law of Henry VIII, 1511) Both Laws are still technically in force.
Just in case those pesky French knights decide to invade :)

Well, there's an excuse for every kid to have a weapon ;D Woohoo!
I don't think I'd survive in England though...seeing as y'all drive on the WRONG SIDE of the road! :D
Hehehe.
Subject: Re: Dumbest laws from all over America
It would be a good excuse, but they repealed all the laws requiring merchants to bring in so many bows (or good yew staves) with each barrel of wine / ton of goods imported so there aren't enough to go around :(
