Maybe they’re smarter than we think. Look at it this way, we’re the ones working to feed and take care of them, so they’ve got it made.

Would dog training be considered educating dogs?

While some of these make perfect sense (e.g. “Smoking while in bed is illegal”, that can be dangerous when you’re tired), others like “You may not educate dogs” and “All men must carry a rifle to church on Sunday” are just plain stupid. I mean: what are these dogs going to do, take over the world?

Nobody would ever put them up then.

They need to have a law that says that they can’t have a Santa clause parade before Thanksgiving, come on Santa is suppose to be in the North Pole creating the toys, doesn’t have time for a Christmas Parade, or better yet the meet/greet Santa at your local Malls, it’s too early!

But Santa is in every mall, too.

I found a list of odd sex laws once on the internet. My favorite from Ames IA (where I go to school) is : “Warn your hubby that after lovemaking in Ames, Iowa, he isn’t allowed to take more than three gulps of beer while lying in bed with you—or holding you in his arms.”

Here is the full list:http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=1265174944439808636&postID=1701152470997240617

I was going to say the same thing. Of course they should also specify a time frame when if you had decorations up prior you would be charged. Oh wait we already have those laws they were created by Home Owners Associations.

* It is illegal for a woman wearing a red dress to be out on the streets after 7 PM

This one seems pretty sound to me, I mean hookers do tend to hang around on the streets, and red is a popular color for women of that profession.

At one point, all of these laws were real. Some of them are still around and haven’t been changed.

That one in AK about not waking a sleeping bear to take its picture makes perfect sense. Shooting the bear won’t get you killed. Waking him to take his picture will.
