New York

The penalty for jumping off a building is death.

Slippers are not to be worn after 10:00 P.M.

A fine of $25 can be levied for flirting. This old law specifically prohibits men from turning around on any city street and looking "at a woman in that way." A second conviction for a crime of this magnitude calls for the violating male to be forced to wear a "pair of horse-blinders" wherever and whenever he goes outside for a stroll.

A person may not walk around on Sundays with an ice cream cone in his/her pocket.

While riding in an elevator, one must talk to no one, and fold his hands while looking toward the door.

A license must be purchased before hanging clothes on a clothesline.

It is against the law to throw a ball at someone's head for fun.

Go figure. Who do you think is the genius who came up with this one?

Does this mean that I can throw a ball at someone's head for another reason?

Hahahaha I can just see the defense for this one:

'Your Honor, I didn't throw the ball at his head for fun. I just wanted to HURT him.'

Hey now...what if they only jump from a two story building??

Can't have a bunch of people going about with broken legs and such. They shoot horses for having broken legs. Might as well do it to the idiots who jump off buildings too. :-)

I'd love to have that as an offence on my license. On the Isle of Mann one can be charged with "furious driving", i want that as well!

New Jersey's got a bunch of strange laws on the books. (I grew up there)
One of the stranger laws is you cannot pump your own gas. Yup, full service stations are the way you get gas there.

Delve a little deeper and you might find a reason for that law that isn't so funny. My home city has the same law. The reason for it was a guy who pulled into a service station at night and started pumping gas while being enough of an idiot not to get rid of the cigarette in his face. He ended up blowing up himself, his car, and much of the station.

I think this law might finally have been repealed, but for a long time in Victoria, British Columbia, it was illegal for a gentleman to escort a lady downtown after dark without wearing a sword.

Simon, I believe the offence is called "Crass Driving", so that'd be on your record. :]]

The lawyers needed some more fodder...........
And they feed the politicians, who then make the laws, who then feed the lawyers, who then pay off the politicians.....
Must I go on?

Here's another stupid serious law:

I can't remember what state this was in, but it's against the law to commit suicide.

The punishment if you're caught? Hanging.
