A long time ago..

I was arrested and fined for the stupidest thing I think I've ever heard of..

However.. despite my pleas, it was actually a written law.

See, we had gotten really drunk at a party and I fell asleep.
In OUR backyard, on top of a refrigerator laying on its side.

I'm not joking.
That is actually a law in PA. You are forbidden from sleeping on top of a fridge outside.

So, since then I ransacked the PA laws so not to get anymore infringements of stupid crap. Hearing about all these laws, made me dig them back out..

So, for my own viewing pleasure and perhaps yours:

Pennsylvania's Dumbest Laws and Ordinances

1. It is contrary to Pennsylvania Law to discharge a firearm, cannon, or any other explosive device during a wedding.

2. It is illegal to have over 16 women living in the same house. This constitutes a 'brothel'.

3. 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. <--They may have got rid of this one after dude burned down the barn with a flare. >.>

4. A special cleaning ordinance bans housewives from hiding dirt and dust under a rug in a dwelling.

5. Fireworks businesses located in Pennsylvania are FORBIDDEN from selling fireworks to Pennsylvania residents.

6. You are ineligible to become the Governor of Pennsylvania if you have ever participated in a duel. <--Chea, we gangsta like that.

7. You are forbidden from purchasing more than 2 cases of beer UNLESS the business is a registered Beer Distributor. >.>

8. ALL liquor stores must be run by the state.

9. You are NOT permitted to sell cars and/or motor vehicles on Sundays.

10. You may not catch fish with your hands. You may not catch a fish using any other part of its body aside from its mouth. Also, you may NOT use dynamite to catch fish.

11. You are permitted to catch fish on your own land without a fishing license; however, you are NOT permitted to hunt on your own land without a hunting license.

In the City of Allentown (my home)

1. There is a law against males becoming aroused while in public.

2. Felons are forbidden from operating Bingo Games. Along with this, Operators are also forbidden from advertising the prizes offered.

In Connellsville..

1. It is illegal to have your pants five inches below your waist.

In Danville..

1. ALL fire hydrants MUST be checked at least one hour PRIOR to any fire.

In Millville...

1. It is illegal to shoot a wandering dog on the street.

I always wondered where that came from.. until I saw this one:

2. It is illegal to sell alcohol.

..then it made sense.

In Morrisville..

1. ALL women MUST have a permit to wear cosmetics.

Ah, Good old Ridley Park...
They can't possibly have any dumb laws th---

1. You cannot walk backwards eating peanuts in front of the Barnstormers Auditorium during a performance.
