EssAyEmEe3 Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 ALright, this thread is where to post the STUPIDEST Laws that don't make sense at all. I'll start it off with 2 that make completely no sense whatso-ever. 1. In a little town in mid-missouri, It is illegal to worry squirrells. What this means is that if you do anything to worry a squirell in any way, you get thrown in jail for a few nights. 2. Apparently in IOWA, it is Illegal to hunt whales from your car. Yes, thats right, ITS ILLEGAL TO HUNT WHALES FROM YOUR CAR! Theres two.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
