Yeah, Right, Whatever

Thanks to Neal Boortz, we have this link to a website that lists some of the dumber laws out there.

Some of the newest ones look like they come from the great state of Alabama.

• Bear wrestling is illegal.
  
• Incestuous marriage, on the other hand, is not.
  
• You may not be drunk on a train.
  

A quick look at Texas law shows us:

• It's illegal to sell one's eyes.
  
• It is illegal to take more than three sips of beer at a time while standing.
• Wire cutters can not be carried in your pocket.
• It is illegal for one to shoot a buffalo from the second story of a hotel.

And here are a few of my favorites:

• In Missouri (where you don't have to take driver's education, btw, to get your driver's license at 16), it is not illegal to speed. (According to this site, anyway.)
  
• In Chicago, you may not eat in a place that is on fire.
• Wisconsin has a whole bunch of odd butter-related laws.
  
• In West Virginia, whistling underwater is prohibited.

That's just the tip of the iceberg. Go, see the goofiness.

Why do we still need legislatures? I mean, all the common sense laws have been written. Or ignored.
