Top 10 Stupidest U.S. State Laws

The Top Ten
Pickles must bounce. (Connecticut)

Something tells me The Mayor from The Powerpuff Girls inspired this law...

Yes, this is real. Because some random people sold cucumbers marked as pickles, they made THIS law. Not like anyone cares.

No one may carry an ice cream cone in their back pocket if it is Sunday.(Georgia)

Upcoming obvious question: Who the hell carries ice cream in their pockets?

The penalty for jumping off a building is death. (New York)

Firstly, we should be HELPING people with suicidal thoughts, not punishing them, you dick head law enforcers. And secondly, you'd already be dead.

Well, you'll already be dead if you do.

I guess I'll have to parachute off the Empire State Building instead.

Advertisements may not be placed in cemeteries. (Maine)

Why would you place an ad in a cemetery in the first place?

It's illegal for donkeys to sleep in bathtubs. (Arizona)

Then I will buy a horse or an elephant (if it's legal for them to sleep in bathtubs).

No cannibalism. (Idaho)

This one is so obvious that it's dumb.

Moose may not be viewed from an airplane. (Alaska)

So you have to look away whenever moose are visible?

No faking your butter. (Iowa)

Well, I do hate fake butter (Blue Bonnet), but it's kinda ridiculous to make a law against it.

One-armed piano players must perform for free. (Iowa)
Those under 21 can drink legally, but they must be enrolled in a culinary program to do so. (Illinois)

This makes sense. If you want to learn how to cook certain foods, you HAVE to taste the ingredient (alcohol) to do so. That being said, a person who just wants to drink can enroll in a culinary program, so this is kinda stupid.

The Newcomers

? No riding a bicycle in a swimming pool (California)

Unsurprisingly, the stupid state of California made this ridiculous law which bans riding a bike in a swimming pool.

? You cannot dye a duckling blue and offer it for sale if you don't sell less than six at a time (Kentucky)
The Contenders
It is illegal to wear your boots to bed. (Oklahoma)

Haha, it's not like the police are going to show up to your house to see if you're sleeping with shoes on. You could easily get away with it.

You cannot ride a horse while drunk (Colorado)
You can't feed pigs garbage unless you have a special permit. (Arizona)
Animals cannot mate within 1,500 feet of a tavern, school, or place of worship (California)
It is against the law to honk a car horn at a sandwich shop after 9pm. (Arkansas)
You may not step out of a plane in flight. (Maine)

Doing that would be a suicide attempt, though. And what if you die before they can punish you?

It's illegal to fart at 6:00 on Thursdays. (Florida)

I bet they police that very strictly and that there are very strict penalties for farting at this time!

AM or PM? Either way, why the most random time on the most random day?

Alligators may not be kept in bathtubs (Arkansas)

Why would you keep an alligator in a bathtub?

It is illegal to ride a camel on the highway (Nevada)

Just casually goes to school on a camel...

You cannot hunt moose from an airplane. (Alaska)

How exactly can you hunt moose from a plane?

This goes well with the law that you can't look at moose in an airplane.

You Can't Make A Bad Face At A Dog (Oklahoma)
Persons may not be drunk on trains. (Michigan)

You shouldn't really be drunk on any other types of public transport.

The Arkansas River can't rise higher than the Main Street Bridge in Little Rock (Arkansas)
It is illegal to put coins in your ears (Hawaii)
Cars may not be sold on Sunday. (Michigan)
