What are some of the oldest and dumbest laws of your state? For example
it is still illegal in michigan for a woman to cut her hair without her
husbands permission...
Now, I am not saying they are enofrced, lol( I would hate to be the
judge to sentence a lady for cutting her hair ;-) ), but technically
they are still valid laws.

Sounds a lot like Michigan where you can not tie your pet alligator
(crocodile?) to a fire hydrant.

And at night you must have someone walking 20 FEET IN FRONT OF YOUR CAR
AT ALL TIME WITH A LIT LANTERN.
