Who on Earth thought it could be a good idea to carry an ice-cream cone in his/her back pocket ?

As long as the portrait does not tell...

Someone really hate bad prank here...

I NEED to know the backgrpound of this law.

But walking around within a state with a bird on your head is fine. Okaaaaay.

I guess a bar of soap was rare back in the days this law was passed. And in haste to grab the rare commodity, it was possible to destroy the flag. Or something like that?

And this one probably has a really stupid story attached to it,

Hmm... Maybe that should be illegal everywhere, come to think of it.

Her - 'What do you do for a living?' Me- 'I'm a pickle bouncer'. Her - *swoons

They do an awful lot of strange things there. This is tame in comparison.

Ew what even is that soup

Sounds like someone overreacted mightily to being flirted with.

If you don't tie that thing down, "you're in ah heap ah trouble boy." :O

great, now I have to move

I wonder who decide what's unusual. I mean if tomorrow Nicki Minaj or anyone else decide to shave her/his head except a blue strand of hair right above the left ear and a yellow one on the back. It would be ugly af, but if few hundred kids copy her/him and it become a trend, would it be punishable by law?

This makes practical sense. If the tree needs to be cut down, and a person is using a chain saw, the damage from the chain hitting the nail and then breaking can injure or kill the chain saw user. Makes sense on public lands.

What about The Emperor's New Clothes?

And the seagulls are fined for s******g on people?

How can magicians take them out of your ears then ? Not fair, not fair at all

Okay, this is dated, but there was a logical reason: People were trying to get around alcohol regulations by sneakily serving alcohol in teacups, so as to make it look like they weren't serving alcohol, and so they made that illegal. The idea being that it must be obvious you're serving alcohol.

Any toad that produce hallucinogenic venom with their skin in Kentucky?

Just why....

Strange. I'd have thought apple pie with cheese is what should have been outlawed.

Noooo I stepped on an ant in Arkansas last year :,( I'm now an international criminal.

If I lived in Dakota, I might as well spend my winter in prison then. I unwillingly cause so much electricity, I sometimes think I'm either a robot or a mutant with electric powers. Wish I could charge my phone batteries with my hands. Okay, I better stop here.

The actions which prompted this law almost certainly were not as innocent as a little girl doodling on a flag.

Who decided it's a weed? Dandelions are the first food in spring for bees.

Cus THAT'S the thing we need to worry about the most in MO

what is perm?

When I was younger I had a girlfriend who tested my endurance while driving.... Good times.... ;)

See the irony of "absurd" laws with a Mature Content Warning on body paint

not a lot of porn movie are filming in louisiana i see

so.... we're all safe from exposure to muffin tops? Yay?

Well we all know what there Wyoming hairdressers look like in a bikini now !

Why?

It's easy to see how some of these came about. The one from Tennessee, this one and some others. They never came off of the books. Several aren't even silly laws.

Margarine is white. There was a time when restaurants and grocery stores would add yellow food colouring to it and sell it - for more money - as butter. The smarter ones would mix in a little real butter to make the fraud more convincing. When I was a kid, it was illegal to sell yellow tinted margarine in grocery stores, the manufacturers would include a little packet of powdered dye for tinting at home. In some places (I think Ontario still does this), margarine can be tinted, but it's a specific colour of yellow that cannot be mistaken for butter. ... NOT a "stupid" law at all.

Not stupid at all. Inscription Rock anyone??? There are historical rocks everywhere in the desert. The law was put there to preserve historical native american sites and places like Inscription Rock. I get the "humor" part here but....ah, whatever. I guess every state has several silly laws. I don't know if the artist here knew (probably). It's a cool photo anyway.

Safety, I guess...

OH MY GOD THERE'S BROWN PEOPLE ON THAT THAR MAGICAL TV BOX!!!

This is same as 34

Same as 13...

yeah, that is not a silly law. That shouldn't even be a part of this series.
