ok, every now and then someone will post something about some random and pointless law. Well, this is that post except someone's gone and done the hard work for me.

Do they give you a choice of which head they chop off?

9. There is no age of consent in Japan (5%)

I can see a lot of siblings from West Virginia migrating to Japan.

Michigan~~~~~

It is illegal to operate a motor or motorized vehicle while the opposite {or same, if ya swing that way} gender performs any sexual act upon the person in operation of the vehicle.

Options
1] park the damn vehicle
2] get it done before the cops pull you over and see enough to charge you

Apparently, in New South Wales, Australia, it is legal to relieve yourself in public if you do it next to the rear left tyre. This goes back to the horse and buggy days when there was a part of the carriage used for such purposes.

New Hampshire:

It's illegal to relieve oneself on a Sunday while looking up. So does that go for any type of relief?

It is legal, yes, legal, to drive the wrong way down a one-way street in instances where it would be difficult or impossible to turn into a business or residence otherwise. Such an action must be within a distance of less than one half mile from the point of entry onto the street in question.

Hoo Boy, what a screwed up state I live in.
