*Bathhouses are against the law.
*It is a misdemeanor to shoot at any kind of game from a moving vehicle, unless the target is a whale.
*Women may not drive in a house coat.
*No vehicle without a driver may exceed 60 miles per hour.

And Alabama:
*Bear wrestling matches are prohibited.
*Incestuous marriages are legal.
*It is illegal to impersonate a person of the clergy.
*It is illegal to maim oneself to escape duty.
*You may not drive barefooted.
*Dominoes may not be played on Sunday.
*It is illegal to wear a fake moustache that causes laughter in church.
*Putting salt on a railroad track may be punishable by death.
*Boogers may not be flicked into the wind.
*It is legal to drive the wrong way down a one-way street if you have a lantern attached to the front of your automobile.
*You may not have an ice cream cone in your back pocket at any time.
*Masks may not be worn in public.
*Women are able to retain all property they owned prior to marriage in the case of divorce. However, this provision does not apply to men.
*It is illegal for a driver to be blindfolded while operating a vehicle.
