Now, mind you, these laws are outdated, and probably won't land you in the slammer, but still WHAT!? I would like to know who invented these laws, and for some of them, WHY did they seem necessary?

While this could be a myth, legislation stays silent on the matter. So it begs the question, "How many lick to get to the center?" We can't legally answer that.

But what if someone's definition of "rich" is different than another person's definition?


3. No person may walk about in public with the common cold.
