There are all kinds of whacky laws out there. In Ruston Louisianna any house with more than 4 women living in it is by law considered a whorehouse. LOL .. Seriously.

The onlly law that makes sense is the one making it illegal to tie a male horse next to a female horse. Think about that one...

had a sign on the back that said
"save the whales"
She should move to Oklahoma.
Oh, I'm so happy for the NYC law!! I just can't imagine trying to navigate the sidewalks filled with dog poo
Well, I know the lawn darts one. Too many kids were getting hurt and yes, some even died after being peirced with the dart. Now they have a safer version, with rounded ends...I don't know. They don't seem any more dangerous then horse shoes, and people play them every where.
I do love useless/funny laws. Always good for a chuckle.
The ugly faces at dogs? heehee...that is too funny!
Lawn darts are also illegal in the US for the reasons Biddie stated...people would throw them and they would pierce the skulls of fellow players...we don't even offer a muted version here...
Although I don't think horseshoes are as dangerous as Biddie asserts...they are thrown waist high and if anyone is stupid enough to get hit than they weren't paying attention...lawn darts were meant to throw very HIGH in the air to make the circle so they would land face down...
...then again...Bid may be right...Boxing doesn't strike me [pun intended] to be the brightest sport to partake in, but they certainly cannot ban boxing gloves can they?...hee
