In light of Election Day and of course Keeping America Weird, we decided to gather a few of the many weird American laws in the past:

In California, no vehicle without a driver may exceed 60 miles per hour.

In Florida, if an elephant, goat or alligator is left tied to a parking meter, the parking fee has to be paid just as it would for a vehicle.

In Montana, it is illegal to have a sheep in the cab of your truck without a chaperone.

In Oregon, a door on a car may not be left open longer than necessary.

In Tennessee, it is illegal shoot any game other than whales from a moving automobile.

In Alabama, it is illegal for a driver to be blindfolded while operating a vehicle.

In California, community leaders passed an ordinance that makes it illegal for anyoneto try and stop a child from playfully jumping over puddles of water.

In Connecticut, you are not allowed to walk across a street on your hands.

In Florida, a special law prohibits unmarried women from parachuting on Sunday orshe shall risk arrest, fine, and/or jailing.

In Illinois, it is illegal for anyone to give lighted cigars to dogs, cats, and other domesticated animal kept as pets.

In Iowa, kisses may last for as much as, but no more than, five minutes.

In Kentucky, it is illegal to transport an ice cream cone in your pocket.

In Louisiana, it is illegal to rob a bank and then shoot at the bank teller with a water pistol.

In Nebraska, a parent can be arrested if his child cannot hold back a burp during a church service.

In New Mexico, females are strictly forbidden to appear unshaven in public.

In New York, a fine of $25 can be levied for flirting. This old law specifically prohibits men from turning around on any city street and looking “at a women in that way.” A second conviction for a crime of this magnitude calls for the violating male to be forced to wear a “pair of *horse-blinders” wherever and whenever he goes outside for a stroll.

In Texas, a city ordinance states that a person cannot go barefoot without
first obtaining a special five-dollar permit.

In West Virginia, no children may attend school with their breath smelling of “wild onions.”

Feel free to vote on your favorite weird law or add to our list, America!
