There is still a law from way back stating that one cannot drive over 15 mph on Sunday in the state of Georgia. The law remains in the book but isn't enforced.

The problem with our system which is largely derived from the English is it fails to remove outdated laws. i.e.about 35 years ago the Kansas Attourney General, who had been nagging the legislature to remove the dead weight from the law books, announced that since they would not do anything he would start enforcing these laws. He sent two KBI agents to Denver and had them buy tickets on a Denver to St Louis non-stop. Once they determined that they were over Kansas and they were still selling liqour they identified themselves arrested the flight crew and ordered them to land in Topeka. Needless to say all Hell broke loose. But nothing much was accomplished.

I don't know if it is still a law but back when they pass the seat belt law there was a law on the books that said "only one out of every three people in the back of a pickup could be standing while the pickup was in motion". That really is silly when the people up in the cab have to wear a seat belt.

Not as dumb as your law though.

In my state it's illegal to buy alcohol on Sunday. Unless you're in a restaurant or a bar. It's the dumbest law.

Don't know how many of these are true, but these are what I've heard:
*It is illegal for one to shoot a buffalo from the second story of a hotel.
*It is illegal to milk another person's cow.
*It is illegal to sell Limburger cheese on Sunday.
*You are unable to tuck your pants into one boot unless you own ten or more cattle.
*When you are released from jail, you must be given a horse and a shotgun, if you request it. (This one sounds fishy to me, but that's okay.)
I'll leave it to you to guess which state I live in. ;]

Up until eventually about 5 or 10 years in the past, it replaced into completely criminal to take your spouse to city sq. and "flog" her. yet on condition that you stuck her dishonest on you. (That replaced into actual in Virginia the position that is likewise unlawful to have sex in anyplace minus missionary, or maybe then the lighting fixtures fixtures should be off! I now longer stay there. do not understand any strange ones right here.....)
