Top 10 Stupidest U.S. State Laws

The Top Ten
1 Pickles must bounce. (Connecticut)

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

Oh,PLEASE! Nobody should do this, whoever made this law is dumb.

Are you sure these laws exist? They’re pretty weird.

2 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?

LOL. OK then, I can wait until Monday...

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

I'm sure people inside the twin towers where jumping off it in 9/11

Thanks, captain obvious!

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

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

4 Advertisements may not be placed in cemeteries. (Maine)

This is actually good. It would disrespect the dead people and their families.

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

I agree with Randomator.

5 No cannibalism. (Idaho)

I'm pretty sure that this law exists everywhere

No its illegal to kill people if your eating them your kinda killing them

This one is so obvious that its dumb.

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

So you have to look away whenever moose are visible.

7 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).

8 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.

But these culinary programs don't last forever and it doesn't make sense to enroll in a program just to drink legally for a short period of time. This law isn't stupid.

9 No faking your butter. (Iowa)

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

I can't believe its not butter.Your in jail.

10 One-armed piano players must perform for free. (Iowa)
The Contenders
11 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.

Why would sleep with boots on though

12 You can't feed pigs garbage unless you have a special permit. (Arizona)
13 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?

Well, you’ll die then.

You’ll die anyway.

14 It is against the law to honk a car horn at a sandwich shop after 9pm. (Arkansas)
15 You cannot hunt moose from an airplane. (Alaska)

How exactly can you hung moose from a plane?

And this is stupid why?

16 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!

I never heard of this law. Are you sure that this isn't made up?

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

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

Just casually goes to school on a camel...

18 Alligators may not be kept in bathtubs (Arkansas)

Why would you keep an alligator in a bathtub?

19 Persons may not be drunk on trains. (Michigan)

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

20 You Can't Hunt In Cemeteries (Oregon)

I'm sure that this also applies to all cemeteries from every state.

What're you going to hunt, dead people?

21 Prisoners who hurt themselves could serve an additional two years in jail. (Louisiana)

On one hand, it could prevent self-mutilation. On the other, it would be pretty stupid to lengthen a prisoner's sentence all because of one accidental injury. Honestly, this law is too broad.

That's terrible because what if it was an accident?

22 Cars may not be sold on Sunday. (Michigan)
23 It it illegal to sleep on top of a refrigerator outdoors. (Pennsylvania)

Well, that’s just weird anyway.

24 You Can't Make A Bad Face At A Dog (Oklahoma)
