Weird Laws

Last year I took a driving course in Peoria with BALDA Driving School, and the teacher loved to read out jokes at "half time." Yeah, strange I know. Anyways, there were some interesting laws she was telling us about and some of them are at this address: http://www.lawguru.com/weird/part01.html

Here are my favorites:
