Dumb State Laws

Listed below are a few of the more dubious laws adopted by various states.  I find myself wondering less about the laws than I wonder about what events prompted them to be drafted.

Here, then, a few odd laws:

Arkansas:  It’s strictly prohibited to pronounce “Arkansas” incorrectly.

Colorado: One may not mutilate a rock in a state park.

Connecticut: It's illegal for a barber to hum a tune while cutting your hair.

Florida: Having sexual relations with a porcupine is illegal.

Kentucky: One may not dye a duckling blue and offer it for sale unless more than six are for sale at once.

North Dakota: One may be jailed for wearing a hat while dancing, or even for wearing a hat to a function where dancing is taking place.

Rhode Island:  No person may bite off another’s limbs.

Vermont: Women must obtain written permission from their husbands to wear false teeth.

Wisconsin: Margarine may not be substituted for butter in restaurants unless it is requested by the customer.
