You Can't Do What?

Most people will agree that they don't like anyone telling them what they can't do, but it does happen. Did you ever hear about the ridiculous things that it's against the law to do? Well, it's a good thing you're reading this list today.  Here's what I'm talking about:

1. Snowball fights-how can be true? In Wausau, Wisconsin it is still against the law. The city once considered throwing snowballs as bad as throwing stones and shooting missiles. Who was shooting missiles is what I want to know. No one is being arrested these days for throwing snowballs, but they haven't gotten rid of the law.

2. You cannot camel hunt in Arizona. In the mid-1800's the Army brought camels to Arizona I guess for training purposes and they had to have a law put on the books to protect the camels.  Legend has it that they lost of them and they haven't found them yet, but you can't hunt them.

3. You can't talk and text if you're crossing a street in Honolulu, Hawaii. Why would you be texting with beautiful scenery all around? Why would you do that anywhere crossing a street?

4. I like apple pie and I like ice cream, but in Vermont if you're getting a slice of apple pie you need to have a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a piece of sharp cheddar, or a glass of cold milk. And, you have to be standing on one foot when you eat/drink them. Ok, I just threw the last one it. They are very big on desserts.

5. If you want to bear wrestle in Alabama it's against the law.  They officially banned it in 1996, it took them that long to realize this wasn't a good idea.  I know you're disappointed.

6. In Tennessee it is illegal to share your password for streaming companies like Netflix. The fine is 2,500 or possibly a year in jail if the password goes to a friend. The law was made in 2011. Does that sound a bit strict?

7. If you really wanted to duel with someone, you can in West Virginia, but you can't hold public office. The law has been around since the 1800's which is no surprise. Now you know that not a single office holder in West Virginia has not challenged anyone to a duel.

8. In the 1930's the town of Biddeford, Maine considered the sidewalks to be sacred ground.  They banned roller skating and biking on sidewalks and for some reason never changed the law.

9. In Indiana you are not allowed to fish with your hands. This is actually called "noodling," but it sounds more like you lost some of your noodles. Why would you fish at all? And with your bare hands? How are you going to eat a bucket of chicken while you're fishing?

10. If you're going to Mardi Gras in Mobile, Alabama you should know that no confetti or streamers are allowed.  They wanted to keep their streets clean, so that law is still on the books.

Wouldn't be fun to go to all these places and do the one thing they say you can't do? Now that would be a road trip!
