Making laws is a severe issue. It is on these laws that our world rests. So, it is evident that before making a law, there will be plenty of deliberation.
Here are some laws worldwide that will make you question whether a person or a mule is sitting behind locked doors making these laws! No offense intended.
Laws Which Will Easily Crack You Up
Let’s have a look at the 10 most bizarre laws-
1. In Arkansas, US, it is illegal to sound the horn on a vehicle at any place where sandwiches and cold drinks serve after 9 pm.
Someone didn’t want to wake up the poor sandwiches before gobbling them down! How thoughtful.
2. In Los Angele, California, it is illegal to bathe two babies, at the same time, in the same tub.
This law was approved by someone who has never heard of time management! Are you kidding me? So, they expect all parents with two or more babies to bathe them one at a time?! Do they know how long it takes to wash one fragile human?! Hello! We also have to go to work to provide for the same babies!
3. In Riverside, California, unless both parties wipe their lips with carbonized rose water, kissing on the lips is against the local health ordinance.
Imagine this- you are locked in your beloved’s embrace, and you look into each eye of each other. When you are about to kiss each other, an animated health inspector pops up in your mind, reminding you that you forgot to wipe your lips with ‘carbonized rose water’! A perfect moment ruined! Okay, so all passionate lovers will now need to relocate, thanks to this dumb law!
4. In China, according to the law, you must be intelligent to go to college.
I wonder which college the person who made this law went to if any!
5. In Illinois, state law requires that a man’s female companion calls him ‘master’ while out on a date. This law doesn’t apply to married couples!
EXCUSE ME! This law is more offensive than funny! It’s sexist to the core. I bet the person who came up with this law is a male chauvinist who felt super insecure in a world where feminism was coming up to bite people like him!
6. In Baltimore, Maryland, taking a lion to the movies is illegal.
This law was most definitely endorsed by the angry granny character in the Madagascar series. She still has issues with Alex, the lion. Calm down, grandma!
7. In Nebraska, USA, it is not legal for a tavern owner to sell beer without simultaneously brewing a kettle of nice soup.
Heights! Beer and soup don’t even go together! Who came up with this? Well, whoever you are, next time you are bored, don’t randomly come up with laws for fun. Play Monopoly instead!
8. In Carmel, New York, a man can’t be seen in public while wearing a jacket and pants that do not match.
Why? Just tell me, WHY the hell not? No place for trendsetters in Carmel, I guess. *sigh*
9. In Youngstown, Ohio, you may not run out of gas.
Sure, I will abide by this law, AS SOON AS YOU INVENT A FOOLPROOF PLAN FOR HOW NOT EVER TO RUN OUT OF GAS!
10. In Oklahoma, USA, it is illegal to have a sleeping donkey in your bathtub after 7 pm.
“Are you sleeping in the bathtub again, donkey?” said Shrek. “Well, I am sleepy, and this bathtub is comfortable,” replied Donkey. “Well, as comfortable as I may be, we are in Oklahoma, and it’s 8 o’clock, SO GET OUT OF THE BATHROOM!” said Shrek and slammed the bathroom door.
Sleeping donkeys in bathtubs is such a big problem that they made a law against it!
Well, there you have it. Ten bizarre laws were ever made!
