MORE: In Rumford, Maine, it’s illegal to bite your landlord.
We enjoyed these weird laws so much in the first column that we had to write a second one.
In Atlanta, Georgia, be careful where you park your giraffe. It’s illegal to tie them to a telephone pole or street lamp.
Speaking of odd modes of transportation, if you are riding an alligator or crocodile in Michigan, make sure not to tie it to a fire hydrant. That’s simply not allowed. (We’ve never been clear on which one is a gator and which is a croc, so we’ll have to wait to see if it sees us later or after a while to tell.)
In Columbus, Ohio, you’d better stock up on cereal during the week. It’s illegal for stores to sell com flakes on a Sunday. The law isn’t clear on other kinds, so Cheerios and Reese’s Puffs might still be ok.
There’s a law in New Jersey that we can get behind. It’s illegal to slurp your soup in public. Add loud cell phone conversations and misbehaving people and we would vote yes.
This one is perplexing to us for a lot of reasons. In Alaska, it’s illegal to push a moose out of a moving airplane. How would you get the moose in the airplane? It might have to be a military transport plane with the size of those things and their antler racks. An average moose can weigh a thousand pounds, which leads us to ask who would be pushing it?
Is this a common problem in Alaska, moose falling from the sky? We know there are several places that can only be reached by plane, but we’re thinking that’s more for people than the moose population.
