Crazy Florida Laws.

[Thumper_Man]

Did you know in the state of Florida, you have to pay the parking meter if you leave an elephant tied to the meter. Did you also know it's illegal to sell your children. So when they start acting up at WDW, you have to keep them. Can't sell them to the next person in line.

DW and I came across these links about some of the crazy state laws in the state of Florida, and in other states. We thought we would share a laugh with you as we were laughing at them ; and to also give you a heads up next time you go to WDW. And no, these are no jokes; they REALLY ARE Florida state laws, and laws in other states.

HERE is the 1st link. How many have you broken? We saw some in this list we might have broken last time we were in FL. I'm sure 99% of us have broken the law about the shower.

HERE is the other link to a different list. Some are the same, but there are some that aren't mentioned in the previous link. What kind of crazy laws does your state have that you never knew about?

Does that law against selling your children also prohibit giving them away? My brother was apparently a handful as a small child, and my mother always used to say she'd give him to the first Indian who came to the door. Sure enough, one Saturday morning, the doorbell rang - and there was my uncle, all dressed up! Fortunately, it was an empty threat!

Nope, you can't give them away either. You're stuck with them. Probably all for the better though.

I don't know about giving away children, although I believe I've been on the receiving end of that threat as well...but I would like to live in Rhode Island where according to law there "Any marriage where either of the parties is an idiot or lunatic is null and void." I believe this would solve the divorce rate in a lot of states!

You may not fart in a public place after 6 P.

All houses much have white picket fences and full-width, two-story porches.

Why does this law exist?
Seaside is a planned city that was intended to create the same styles and sense of belonging that a 19th century city would. These two regulations are merely a couple among the many the city planners have devised that have led to the development of a city that looks somewhat like a Disney World resort.


Gotta love Disney...

Alabama has some crazy ones too. Here are a couple of my favorites:

It is illegal for a driver to be blindfolded while operating a vehicle.

Boogers may not be flicked into the wind.

I have to wonder what transpired to geet that "no driving blindfolded" one passed.


My kids found this site awhile back and were ROTFL at all the crazy laws. They found this one:

Dominoes may not be played on Sunday.

and couldn't wait to break it. I don't think they've played dominoes before or since, but they had a ball playing that Sunday afternoon, knowing they were "lawbreakers" for doing so.
