I Googled weird law for where I live so I'm not sure if these are accurate but here's a few
- It is illegal to teach others what polygamy is.
- Unnatural intercourse, if both parties voluntarily participate, results in a maximum
Sentence of 10 years and $10,000. [I wonder what they're talking about, no really, I am.]
- It is illegal for a male to be sexually aroused in public
and my favorite
One may be fined up to $100 for using profane language in public places.
If only people still followed this one, some people might finally shut up.

Try living in Florida. A gay person isn't even allowed to adopt kid here! My state is so homophobic, we're willing to make things worse for everyone else in order to oppress homosexuals a little bit more. For example, we passed a law a few years ago that made marriage the only union recognized by the state. Take that, gays! (and old people who don't get married for insurance reasons and unwed teenage mothers, which make up 98% of the state's population)Miumaru said:
Here are four dumb laws from my town, Lawrence.
No one may cross a certain street downtown wearing a beehive under their bonnet.
No one may wear a cowboy hat between 14th and 15th street block on the same street
Upon arriving in town, a driver must honk their horn for two seconds to alert the horses.
No woman may drive a vehicle without a male escort guiding her along in front of the vehicle warding away people with a broom.
No one wears bonnets anymore, no one ever wore cowboy hats, we don't have horses anymore, and every woman in town is breaking that last law.
Oh wait. Here's one on a state level.
If two trains meet on the same track, neither shall proceed until the other has passed.

Weird Florida Laws (In the towns I've lived in).
-It is illegal for men to be seen publicly in any kind of strapless gown. (All of Florida...it might be an old law)
-A women can be fined (only after death), for being electrocuted in a bath-tub because of using self-beautification utensils. (Pensacola)

-It is against the city ordinance to hang your clothes outside on a clothesline.(Ft.Myers)
-It it illegal to park a pick-up truck in your driveway or in front of your house on the street. This law is limited to only those who do not own the house. (Repealed 2000) (Ft. Myers)
-Stage nudity is banned, with the exception of "bona fide" theatrical performances. Violating this ordinance results in a $100 fine (Pinecrest)
-Having sexual relations with a porcupine is illegal. (All of Florida)
