And as further proof that asylums have been renamed...here are a few more gems!
A United States federal law makes it illegal to issue a fake Weather Bureau forecast. A United States Federal law states one can be fine upto $1,000,000 for pertaking in the act of Genocide. In Alabama, State code allows only 5 minutes for one to vote. In Arkansas, drive-ins aren't very convenient thanks to this law... No person shall drive a motor vehicle onto the premises of a drive-in restaurant and leave the premises without parking such motor vehicle, unless there is no unoccupied parking space available on the premises. In Riverside, California, Kissing on the lips, unless both parties wipe their lips with carbonized rose water, is against the local health ordinance. According to a law in China, you must be intelligent to go to college. Colorado Water laws prohibit the use of rain barrels or any methods to catch rain for use. They claim the rain has already been legally allocated to the state and individual may not capture and use water to which he/she does not have a right. No hanky panky allowed in Connecticut.. A person who commits any unnatural and lascivious act with another person commits a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. It is illegal for unmarried couples to commit lewd acts and live together. A female shall not appear in a bathing suit on any highway within this state, Kentucky. In Nebraska, It is not legal for a tavern owner to serve beer unless a nice kettle of soup is also brewing. In New York, A fine of $25 can be levied for flirting. This old law specifically prohibits men from turning around on any city street and looking "at a woman in that way." A second conviction for a crime of this magnitude calls for the violating male to be forced to wear a "pair of horse-blinders" wherever and whenever he goes outside for a stroll. In Oklahoma, It Is Illegal To Have A sleeping Donkey In Your Bathtub After 7pm...note to self, leave donkey at home when visiting Oklahoma! In Crown Point, Indiana Its illegal to carry a dog in your purse if you have shoes on while walking across grass. In Ohio it is illegal to fish for whales on Sundays. In Montana If you are a covered wagon and there are three or more Native Americans around your wagon, you have the right to kill them. In Louisville, Kentucky it is against the law to walk down a street, public or private, with an ice cream cone in your back pocket. In Kaysville, Utah it is illegal to donate a neuclear weapon. you can own one, you just cant donate one! In West Virginia it is still the books that if you steal another mans horse the owner has the legal right to hang the accused from the nearest tree.

In Alberta back in the day, it was the law when a prisoner was released from jail that he would be given a gun and horse to ride out of town or city.

There's a whole web site for this stuff: http://www.dumblaws.com
They've got some doozies: In Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Maine, and Massachussetts, all adult males who go to church must bring a rifle in case of Indian attack. Duels to the death are allowed on Boston Common, but only on Sundays and if the Governor is present. In Hollywood, you can't drive more than 2,000 sheep down Hollywood Blvd. at any one time. In Montana and South Dakota, various city (or state) laws determine how many Indians walking down the street are a war party-and can be legally shot. In California, no vehicle without a driver may exceed 60 MPH. Cattle thieves in Temple, Texas may be hung on the spot. Dallas, Texas is the only major U.S. City still with a film review board: and they can issue a rating higher than what the MPAA issues. (i.e. they can change a PG-13 to an R if they feel like it, for example) In Blythe, CA, you can't own cowboy boots unless you own at least two cows. Several towns in various states require those who take showers to have doctor's prescription. In Los Angeles, both Zoot Suits and licking toads are illegal.

Actually, reading about the Zoot Suit Riots puts that law in context...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoot_Suit_Riots Fortunately, no one tried to ban ice cream in Glasgow after the Ice Cream Wars of the 80s... No, I didn't make that up! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasgow_Ice_Cream_Wars

Here's a few more:
In California, you cannot shoot animals from a moving vehicle, unless the target is a whale. Several communities in the U.S. (California again, also Texas, Illinois, South Carolinia, and Georgia) ban trick-or-treaters from wearing masks unless they get written permission from the Sheriff (or Chief of Police). In Burlingame, CA, spitting is illegal-unless it's on a baseball diamond. Also in California, Sunshine is guaranteed to the masses (sounds like something Jerry Brown signed into law when he was Governor the last time around). Northhampton, MA prohibits the detonation of nuclear devices. It doesn't prohibit their possession or transport, but you can't set them off within city limits. Salem, MA, by law, appoints a "city witch." Dayton, KY requires Christmas Carolers to obtain permits. Several states prohibit women from driving while wearing housecoats.
