6 STATE LAWS YOU WON’T BELIEVE EXIST!
F rom F orbidden F ortune T elling to S andwich S hop S ilence UNPACK AMERICA’S QUIRKIEST STATE LAWS
Every state has its own bizarre laws, and while they make for a fun read, the fact is that these rules were once created to address some specific “problem!” From unusual dress codes for hot dog vendors in Florida to bizarre regulations about fighting birds in Indiana, every state has its share of head-scratchers. Let’s take a stroll through six of the wackiest laws — you can’t make this stuff up! QUIET HOURS FOR SANDWICH LOVERS In Arkansas, think twice before honking your horn at a sandwich shop after 9 p.m. This law might have stemmed from one too many late- night sandwich cravings disturbing the peace. So, keep your sandwich enthusiasm to a respectable volume! DRESS CODE FOR HOT DOG VENDORS In Florida, hot dog vendors must think twice about skimpy wardrobes as a marketing tactic. Dressing provocatively is a no-go, as it’s considered a serious traffic hazard. So, those planning to sell hot dogs should keep their attire conservative to avoid stirring up more than just appetites. FIGHT BACK BIRDS IN INDIANA In Indiana, you can only throw a rock at a bird if you’re defending yourself. Hopefully, you’ll never find yourself in such a peculiar
predicament (or Hitchcockian nightmare), but it’s good to know the law’s got your back — just in case.
NO CLAIRVOYANCE IN CEDAR RAPIDS Fancy yourself a fortune teller in Cedar Rapids, Iowa? Think again. Practices like palm reading or phrenology are off limits, preserving the town’s focus on the tangible here and now rather than the mystical future. GREASE IS THE WORD IN NORTH CAROLINA In North Carolina, stealing over $1,000 of used restaurant grease is a felony. Yes, used grease! As biodiesel’s popularity rises, so does the value of this slippery commodity — so keep your hands away from the grimy fryer vats. OKLAHOMA’S ANIMAL ANTICS And finally, in Oklahoma, you’d better not find yourself tripping a horse or wrestling a bear. Engaging in or even promoting these dangerous and unusual animal antics is illegal. It’s all fun and games until someone gets a bear hug they didn’t ask for!
So, next time you think you’ve heard it all, remember: The law books might have a few more surprises waiting for you.
