14. It Is Illegal To Possess Confetti (Mobile, Alabama)
Ah, confetti. That timeless nuisance. If only all cities could be more like Mobile, Alabama, where they don't stand for useless, downright dangerous things like confetti. In fact, possessing confetti in Mobile is enough to get you a run in with the law. Apparently, at weddings in Mobile, they shower the bride and groom with pebbles instead - a much cheaper alternative. They're tough like that in Mobile. On a more serious note, you have to wonder whether anyone has ever actually been charged with possession of confetti? It is, after all, a controlled substance. Imagine the tough, Alabamian gangsters of Mobile with their AK47s in tow, leaning out of classic car windows dealing cute little bits of plastic to friends of the bride-to-be. Ominous. Again, whoever thought of this one must have had a really bad confetti experience as a kid. Maybe they mistook it for sugar paper and ended up with a nasty mouthful? That would drive anyone to seek revenge.
