Let’s take a drive through Florida to find some weird state laws!
- Destin, Florida states that a cat that viciously chases passers-by is a ‘bad cat’
- In Pensacola, Citizens may not be caught downtown without at least 10 dollars on their person
- Maintaining a car on your property which is no longer in use is prohibited
- If you like to love to ride your bicycle in Destin, don’t lean it up against a tree in a cemetery
- If you notice an ice-cream man attempting to sell his cold concoctions in a cemetery, call the police immediately, for that is illegal
- Torpedoes may not be set off in the city
- You cannot use a whistle on a bicycle
- Persons face up to thirty days in jail for selling oranges on the sidewalk
- No one may bring a pig with them to a theater
- If you hit a pedestrian you are fined $78
- Beer may not be sold between 2 and 7am
- Persons may not appear in public clothed in liquid latex
- It is illegal for an owner of a store to allow another person to pass out free ducklings in front of the store
- You may not kiss your wife’s breasts
- Termite farms are illegal within city limits
- It is illegal to drive across a bridge and fish at the same time
- Prostitution is illegal. The penalty however, is a five-year banishment from the state of Florida, plus a bus ticket out of town. Plus the offender is also given spending money
- Changing into swimwear in public bathrooms is illegal

- A woman can be fined (only after death), for being electrocuted in a bath-tub because of using self-beautification utensils

It seems to me that they are trying to make it very hard for Florida Man!
The favorite QOTN answer is from Nuke! Going right to the top of my “If I was world dictator” list!
Picture this: You are angry. In fact, you are livid. You look at this person(s) taking part in your pet peeve. You say to yourself “If I ran the world, this would be illegal.”
QOTN: If you could create any weird law, what would it be? Did deep into your annoyances and let your creative juices flow. GO!
