In Alabama:

Bear wrestling matches are prohibited.
You may not drive barefooted.
It is considered an offense to open an umbrella on a street, for fear of spooking horses.
Dominoes may not be played on Sunday.
Boogers may not be flicked into the wind.
You may not have an ice cream cone in your back pocket at any time.

Not sure if they're still in law...

You won't believe this law.
In Riverside, California, it's illegal to kiss somebody on the lips unless you both wipe your lips with rose water before kissing. Strange huh?

There's a website for you

These laws are funny. I believe they are still in use but are obscure.

- Massachusetts:

1. Mourners at a wake may not eat more than three sandwiches.
2. Snoring is prohibited unless all bedroom windows are closed and securely locked.
3. An old ordinance declares goatees illegal unless you first pay a special license fee for the privilege of wearing one in public.
4. Taxi drivers are prohibited from making love in the front seat of their taxi during their shifts.

Those laws are mostly old.

I doubt this is still a law. I feel as if I must prove you wrong!

In Santa Ana (California), it is illegal to swim on dry land.

I read in magazine that it's illegal to tie a giraffe to a telephone pole somewhere in the US. You do have strange laws.
