Strange Alabama State Laws

• Bear wrestling matches are prohibited.- Bear wrestling, many years ago, was a crude form of entertainment that had to be delt with. It not only subjected bears to harsh conditions, but also risked the bears’ lives as well.
• Incestuous marriages are legal.
• You may not drive barefooted.
• Dominoes may not be played on Sunday.
• It is illegal to wear a fake moustache that causes laughter in church.
• Putting salt on a railroad track may be punishable by death.
• Boogers may not be flicked into the wind.
• It is legal to drive the wrong way down a one-way street if you have a lantern attached to the front of your automobile.
• You may not have an ice cream cone in your back pocket at any time.

 The following are for individual cities: AnnistonYou may not wear blue jeans down Noble Street. Auburn

Men who deflower virgins, regardless of age or marital status, may face up to five years in jail.

 I don’t have the reasons the other laws are in place (especially the ice cream in the back pocket) but I will attempt to research my ass off to find them…and if any of them have been removed from the law books as of lately J enjoy!

I found a “thing”

So weekly, maybe once maybe more i will be posting “Wierd State Laws” and hopefully finding the explination of the law being passed.  If anyone has heard one that they would like to hear the explination about let me know and i will look too!

In Austin Texas it is against the law to carry a wire cutters in your back pocket.

Explination:

In the days of the old “wild west”, cowboys would cut barbed wire fences of property owners in order to allow their cattle herds to pass through. To prevent such acts, an ordinance was passed.

 Updated Texas Penal code shows that this law was removed as of 1973.  I hope the property owners in Austin know that their lands have been fertilized by walking dung droppers for 35 years now!
