Silly/dumb Laws.

[awesome11]

In pennsylvania, there are lots of really stupid laws. It's ridiculous. like..some of these:
You may not sing in the bathtub. (it's illegal)

You can't sleep ontop of a fridge outside.

Fireworks stores may not sell fireworks to Pennsylvania residents.

There are lots i've just heard of, but i also found this site that has a list of lots of pretty ridiculous laws..
dumblaws.com
you can chose your state, and itll show you some dumb laws
I'm just wondering, why do you guys think that these laws actually exist? I'm thinking that there is usually a history behind the laws, that made the act illegal, but i can't think of something that would happen to make singing in a bathtub illegal ..

No. They're dead laws. It's just removing them would require a vote and such; they don't want to waste the time.

They're good if you're looking to catch someone, but the laws are still inplace. However there may be laws against using these - just put them in these famous books for hilarious history.

That was honestly what I was just thinking before I read the replies...but I'm sure an officer could arrest you for one of them if he wanted to be a dick.

I doubt it, I bet there is laws nullifying these.

Allowing your pet to mate with a pet of the royal family is punishable by death.

It is illegal to die inside the Houses of Parliament.

The Prime Minister is by law entitled to receive a pig from the royal family on the first of every month.

In York, you can kill Scottish people, as long as you use a crossbow and it isn't Sunday.

 

[Rhodesy]

These are obviously not used, but seriously, I heard some one that someone in york could beat up someone who is scottish, If I did that by law I can get away with it? If I become a police man I would so arrest someone for something like that, be funny.
