Dumb and Funny Laws of North Dakota and Ohio

North Dakota:

1. It is illegal to lie down and fall asleep with your shoes on.

I don't like camping without my shoes on. Especially when I seep. It's rather helpful.

2. Beer and pretzels can't be served at the same time in any bar or restaurant.

Mans favorite combonation has just been ruined.

Devil's Lake, ND:3. New Year's celebrations are somewhat bland in this town as fireworks may not be set off after 11:00 PM!Full text of the law.

I couldn't remember a line from a stand up comedy I love. But I did remember another line that is just as funny.

Jeff Dunham's "Spark of Insanity" starring Jeffy Dunham, Peanut, Walter, Melvin, Achmed the dead terrorist, and Jalepano On A Stick:

Jeff Dunham: So if you're a terrorist, I suppose you have some kind of specialty.
Achmed the Dead Terrorist: Yes. I am a bomber.
Jeff Dunham: Ah. So, you're finished.
Achmed the Dead Terrorist: What?
Jeff Dunham: You've done your job.
Achmed the Dead Terrorist: No I haven't.
Jeff Dunham: But you're dead.
Achmed the Dead Terrorist: No I'm not. I feel fine.
Jeff Dunham: But you're all bone.
Achmed the Dead Terrorist: It's a flesh wound.

Fargo, ND:

4. One may be jailed for wearing a hat while dancing, or even for wearing a hat to a function where dancing is taking place.

It's only proper.

Ohio:

5. In Ohio, if you ignore an orator on Decoration day to such an extent as to publicly play croquet or pitch horseshoes within one mile of the speaker's stand, you can be fined $25.

Kind of like whisteling while standing in line at the DMV.
6. Women are prohibited from wearing patent leather shoes in public.

Crocodile counts as leather.
7. It is illegal to fish for whales on Sunday.

How do you suppose someone catch a whale in Ohio?
8. It is illegal to get a fish drunk.

I don't think that'seven posible. Fish can drown you know.
9. The Ohio driver's education manual states that you must honk the horn whenever you pass another car.

I have no quelms about this law.
10. Participating or conducting a duel is prohibited.

I always think of that scene from Robin Hood: Men In Tights where Robin Hood is challenged by the Duke of Rottingham to a duel by first getting slapped in the face with a leather glove and so Robin slaps him with a knights armored glove.
