This is a website that has gathered many many dumb laws and made them easily searchable by state and location.

Dumb laws in my state:

You are not permitted to wear cowboy boots unless you already own at least two cows.

Detonating a nuclear device within the city limits results in a $500 fine.

It is illegal to jump into a passing car.

It is illegal for a man to beat his wife with a strap wider than 2 inches without her consent.

Toads may not be licked.

Zoot suits are prohibited.

Animals are banned from mating publicly within 1,500 feet of a tavern, school, or place of worship (People on the other hand...)

Women may not drive in a house coat. (They can, however, do their nails in the fast lane)

No vehicle without a driver may exceed 60 miles per hour. (I have seen this on the news. I am sure of it)

My County:

In my state...

It is illegal to have over 16 women live in a house together because that constitutes a brothel. However up to 120 men can live together, without breaking the law.

It it illegal to sleep on top of a refrigerator outdoors (There go my nightly plans).

Any motorist driving along a country road at night must stop every mile and send up a rocket signal, wait 10 minutes for the road to be cleared of livestock, and continue.

An officer once told me that there is still a law in California that, if it is foggy, someone must walk 150 feet in front of your car carrying a lantern. :)

That method would probably work well until the light bearer tripped into a pothole or a ditch, or got hit by a car going the other way.
Sheesh, who makes up these laws?

Good thing I live in a basement apartment, then.

Well, it just isn't sporting, to hunt in a cemetary. The quarry can't move as fast as you can.
