TIGERX.COM Trivia Daily: Odd US Laws

The Good Old United States of America... What a trivial place...

Can you believe...

It is illegal in Kentucky to marry the same man more than 3 times? (guess they had a lot of problems with that)
In Califonia it is illegal to set a mouse trap without a hunting license? (the LAPD is tougher than you think)
Boxes of candy given as romantic gifts must weigh more than 50lbs. in Idaho (an effort to cut into potato sales?)
Utah is the only state in the Union that executes criminals by firing squad? (I have no problem with that one!)
Lassos to catch in Tennessee a fish (yea, a rusty hook is far more humane...)
In Tuscon, Arizona, it is illegal for women to wear pants (cool!!!)
You need a license to wear a goatee in Massachusettes (obviously not a law made in the 1990s, trendy folk beware!)
Why did the chicken cross the road? He better not in Quitman, Georgia, its illegal!
If a man is wearing a striped suit, you cannot throw a knife at him in Natoma, Kansas (I guess you are going to have to use a gun)

Time to update & repeal these laws...

In 1659 Massachusettes made Christmas illegal (and the Kennedys get away with murder!)
On Sunday, it is illegal to sell cornflakes in Columbus, Ohio (don't make the milkman's Monday any harder than it is)
Unless you have a doctor's note, its illegal to buy ice cream after 6 p.m. in Newark, New Jersey. (not much fun in August)
It is a misdemeanor to show movies that depict acts of felonious crime in Montana (Hollywood, we have a problem)
Children can buy shotguns in Kansas City, Missouri but not toy cap guns
In Minnesota, its illegal to tease skunks (as if being sprayed for such an act of stupidity is not enough)
In Hartford, Connecticut, it is illegal to kiss your wife on Sunday (no wonder why everyone is in a bad mood on Mondays)

Alarming Statistics show...

Nevada has the highest alcohol consumption level (4.85 gallons per person per year, New Hampsire is #2, Alaska is #3)
35.5% of Mississippi residents over the age of 25 have not finished high school (Alaska is the best state with only 13.4%)
30.7% of the adult residents in Mississippi are overweight (Colorado & Wyoming are the lowest, 18.4%)
