In Texas, it's against the law for anyone to have a pair of pliers in his or her possession.

In Philadelphia, you can't put pretzels in bags based on an Act of 1760.

Alaska law says that you can't look at a moose from an airplane.

In Corpus Christie, Texas, it is illegal to raise alligators in your home.

In Miami, it is forbidden to imitate an animal.

It is against the law to mispronounce the name of the State of Arkansas in that State.

In Illinois, the law is that a car must be driven with the steering wheel.

In Tennessee, it is illegal to catch a fish by using a lasso

Also, it is illegal for anyone, not just a woman, to drive while asleep,

More than eight women are not allowed to live in the same house. Why? If they did it would be considered a brothel! No soroity houses on college campuses.

It is also illegal for women to drive cars alone. They must have a man in front of the car waving a red flag

We have a lady at the nursing home that spits on the floor.

Believe me, I've done the slide for life several times.

I think that is the most disgusting thing I have ever heard of. The fact that we live in the same county as whomever is doing this makes me cringe!

Can you catch a fish with a lasso? Maybe a big one if you are really good. Who makes this stuff up?

Where PV and I grew up this is a law that is still in action -

[FONT=times new roman,helvetica]It is legal for a man to beat his wife on the courthouse steps so long as it is before 8:00 pm.

And some other great VA laws :
[/FONT]It is illegal to tickle women.
[SIZE=-1]It is illegal to kick your wife out of bed. ([/SIZE]Lebanon)
[SIZE=-1]It is illegal to flip a coin in a restaurant to see who pays for a coffee. ([/SIZE]Richmond)
[SIZE=-1]If you are drunk and not driving your car, and the person who is driving the car is drunk as well, you may both receive DUI's. ([/SIZE]Virginia Beach)
[SIZE=-1]It is illegal to use profanity on Atlantic Avenue or the boardwalk. ([/SIZE]Virginia Beach) (Ali's note : there are actually signs in VA Beach that warn of cursing on Atlantic).
Not only is it illegal to have sex with the lights on, one may not have sex in any position other than missionary.
You may not have oral or anal sex.
Driving while not wearing shoes is prohibited. (They we're lying when they told me to keep my shoes on!)
[SIZE=-1]A man may face 60 days in jail for patting a woman's derriere. ([/SIZE]Norfolk)

And to say a nice thing about my lovely state? A few years ago, a law did pass through one of the houses of congress and got stopped in the state Senate.

This law awards you a 500 dollar fine if your underwear is showing.
