Washington state is famous for stupid, but enforceable liquor laws.

A few months ago our Governor got carded and refused service for not having her ID. This made news around the country.

To be served in this state you must have your ID, even if you are in your 50s like the Gov, or 60s like me. If you don't have ID and get served the bar and bartender can get stiff fines.

But for the truly side splitting funny laws, one has to go east from here.

In Boston it is illegal to serve any culinary dish containing both clams and tomatoes. This is a dig at New York clam chowder.

New Jersey has some old anti automobile laws on its books starting with a Red Flag law. The best one: if you meet a horse who will not pass your car you must successively until it will pass; pull over off the road, cover the car with a tarp (which must be carried according to the law), disassemble the car and hide its pieces behind local scenery.

It is prohibited to lock up a burgular in your toilet because you will be restricting him from his freedom to move around freely. (Netherlands)

When entering the Chicago City Limites, you must sound your horn to warn all horse and carriages. Now mind you this was turn of the century, and the only horse's we have are on State Street and Michigan avenue and they have designated Horse Lanes. Those streets are not city limits :3

In Illinois, it is ilegal to eavesdrop on your own phone conversation

In California it is Illegal to molest butterflies

Netherlands have legalized prostitution and drugs, so it's ultimately one of the best places to live

In England it's illegal to be French. You get arrested on the spot

I found a couple of good ones from England
In Chester - You can only shoot a Welsh person with a bow and arrow inside the city walls and after midnight.
In Hereford - You can shoot a Welsh person all day, but only on Sunday, with a Longbow, in the Cathedral Close.
In York - Upon sight of a Scotsman, it is still legal to shoot him with a bow and arrow, except on Sundays.

I'm off to find my bow and take a trip to Chester
