Here is a list of the world’s most ridiculous laws… no wonder lawyers earn so much!
Some of my favorites:
- In Vermont, women must obtain written permission from their husbands to wear false teeth.
- In Florida, unmarried women who parachute on Sundays can be jailed
- In Providence, Rhode Island, USA, it is still illegal for shop owners to sell toothpaste and toothbrushes to the same customer on a Sunday.
- In Oklahoma, USA, it is still illegal to make faces at a dog, a crime that could result in a prison sentence.
- In Texas, USA, criminals are still required to give their victims at least 24 hours oral or written notice giving details of the crime they are about to commit.
- Until 1984 Belgians were made to choose their children’s names from a list of 1500 drawn up in the days of Napoleon.
