50 Ridiculous Ways You Didn't Know You Could Break The Law
50. Alabama: It Is Illegal To Wear A Fake Moustache That Causes Laughter In Church
What sort of laughter-infused riot was started that would make someone draft this? You can just see it now, hapless victims rolling around in pain, a vengeful God smiting all and sundry because he's being mocked with false facial adornments... but if the moustache doesn't cause laughter, you're basically fine to wear it where you want. I guess it only depends on what kind of mood the congregation is in.
49. Alaska: It Is Considered An Offence To Push A Live Moose Out Of A Moving Airplane
Well, that's just common sense. But it does raise some serious questions about why a moose was ever in an airplane in the first place, and what sort of behaviour was deemed worthy of being kicked out of it. After all, you have to have some sort of expectation that a moose is gunna moose, even in an airplane.
48. Arizona: There Is A Possible 25 Years In Prison For Cutting Down A Cactus
Makes sense, since they need all the cacti for the Westerns shot in Arizona, but some might find it hard not to take out their sadism on cacti, if they've ever been spiked badly in the desert.
47. Arkansas: It's Strictly Prohibited To Pronounce "Arkansas" Incorrectly
I don't know what penalty you get if you DO in fact pronounce Arkansas incorrectly, but you need to tone down your sass, Arkan-sass. Presumably whoever wrote this law didn't like tourists, or in fact anyone coming to the state from outside.
46. California: It Is Illegal To Wear Cowboy Boots Unless You Own Two Cows
They could have just stopped before the "unless" and the world wouldn't have been a worse place.
I'm currently attending my local college while trying to figure out who I am. I love Doctor Who, Sherlock, really any BBC show. I've also been told I'm a bit of a nerd. Specifically, a theatre nerd.
