Name some stupid laws that you've heard of. There's a law in Tennessee that says "You shall not drive while asleep." and also another says "You will not shoot anyone while dead." Then there's a sick law that says "No dog shall molest a car." lol :lol:

I think laws like this are so funny. My friend had to do this assignment in her government class about sex laws (her teacher is really weird) and there's stuff like oral sex is illegal in Michigan and you can get arrested for even talking about in West Virginia. Like cops are really on the look-out for that. :lol:

I like that link that AAOT posted. These are some stupid Ohio laws -

In Columbus, stores can't sell cornflakes on Sunday.
In Marion, you can't eat a doughnut and walk down the street backwards.
It's illegal to run out of gas in Youngstown.

I always knew I lived in a stupid state, but...good lord.

Here, it's against the law to pump your own gas.
I'm looking up others on that website -->
-You may not slurp your soup. (arrest me now)
-It is illegal to delay or detain a homing pigeon. (I'll keep that in mind for if I ever encounter one..)
-It is against the law for a man to knit during the fishing season. (umm..okay)

I wouldn't even recommend driving at all in Youngstown!

There's also an Ohio law that you have to honk your horn before you pass a car.

Yeah, I love it too. It's soo convenient in the winter. However, it does have its downsides when you go out of state. We've run out of gas soo many times in East Stroudsburg PA (about 3 miles from the NJ state border) because we say "we have to wait until NJ to buy gas.." and then we run out and it's a huge pain
