I guess in Omaha, NE (where I live) a man cannot run around with a shaved chest... and sneezing and burping are illegal in a church service lol.
Some of those were repeated :P
But I've heard some of these before :)
Honestly, you gotta wonder what happend for them to have to make such silly laws...
I really like the "men may not spit in front of the opposite sex"...I think spitting is one of the grossest things out there. And I looooooove the "It is illegal to stab yourself to gain someone's pity." Those are good.
I'm not sure if we have any really strange laws, but I have heard some good ones around the country. I heard one that it is illegal to whistle while walking on the sidewalk on Thursdays...or something of that nature. Heh.
I'm pretty sure most, if not all, of those laws are not even valid anymore. Way to mislead.
