Stupid Laws On The Books

There was a segment on the local news about some of the "Stupidest Laws" ever written and let e tell you some of these are pretty darn dumb. They had to have been written back when our towns use to be zoned for farm animals, that would only make some sense of some of these laws. Some are so outrageously nutty one would wonder if they were written back in the 70's when Woodstock was around if you catch my drift...
Let's go check out some of these nutty laws of nature...
