Some of these laws are still in place as nobody has had the time or energy to change them.
Be careful as technically alot of us could be breaking the law.
If you know of any other strange laws please let me know. ;)

Got introduced to this one because of ignorance of the law.
I was once arrested, "I asked the officer, why?" He told me they would tell me at the station. I had been tossing a few back so, even then I wasn't upset. There must be some kind of mistake, I haven't done anything wrong. Get to the station and they proceed to book me......Do you mind telling why you are arresting Me? We're not sure all we do is book em'.......
Now, I start to get a little upset OK, I've been as nice as I can be.....WHY, are y'all putting me in jail? Lady at the desk
says,"They got you for being a Principal." I say ,"Look Lady,
I'm not even a teacher, much less a principal." She just started laughing and it kind of made me mad! Come to find out my brother had gotten into a fight, I would not let anyone jump in. The charge is called "principle to battery"......Cost me almost $700 that was 15 yrs ago and a lot of money at that time! GO FIGURE!

The weirdest I've ever heard, and it is a city ordinance for Auburn, AL is:
More than 10 women, residing in the same building, but of no familial relation, are a brothel for the purposes of prostitution.
This is why there are no sorority houses at Auburn University.
