Default Dumb laws
I just read in the local paper here in Holland that as a result of new smoking restrictions, it will no longer be legal to smoke joints in the hash cafes that Holland is known for.
That means it will soon only be legal to smoke mary-jane at home, or in a car! Such a great idea. Force people to light up in 2 tons of speeding metal.

http://www.dumblaws.com has specfic dumb laws for your city, here are mine
Lawrence
All cars entering the city limits must first sound their horn to warn the horses of their arrival.
No one may wear a bee in their hat.
I think these laws are past laws, and aren't present anymore.

You must be talking about those giant black bicycles that run all over Amsterdam. 2 tons of steel indeed.

I think you can steel buy the refer. you just can't toke up in public spaces. To be honest it is kind of nice. The weather is really ****ty in the Netherlands and it sucks to have to be in doors where you can't escape the smokers.
as for the hash bars, I don't know, since that is really their only reason for being. otherwise they would only be cafes or bakeries - of which there are already tons. oh well, Paul lets go hit some old geneever.

Where do you find them? More than half of them you posted, I didn't see them from the state of TN
http://www.dumblaws.com/laws/u...essee/
Some of the "laws" make no sense whatsoever. I have a few friends working in the legal arena, and certainly they've never heard of them. I wish the site would state the source for all of the laws posted.
On a lighter note, some of them are funny just from reading

If you are released from prison, it is required that you are given a handgun with bullets and a horse, so you can ride out of town.

When raining, a person may not water his/her lawn.
why would anyone water their lawn then?
Citizens may not publicly remove bandages
I've done this a couple of times..

They are in the angelfire link that Mil posted.
All these are state-level laws and most of them are old and they were not individually eradicated. But since amendments, national laws or-what-you's over-ruled them, there's really no point in doing so. Still, what's crazy is that these laws were, in fact, enforced at some point in time.
