Number 5
It is unlawful to refuse a person a glass of water. This doesn't seem silly to me. Having driven through the desert, the heat can be a scary thing if you aren't prepared for it. If you need a drink, ask for one.
Number 4
You may not have more than two dildos in a house.
Hmmm. Enough said.
Number 3
Donkeys cannot sleep in bathtubs. Don't put them there. Don't think about it. No sir.
Number 2
From Mohave County:
A decree declares that anyone caught stealing soap must wash himself with it until it is all used up. So if you are dirty, and if you really need to be clean, steal some soap. You will definitely get clean. Don't scrub too hard - you've got a ways to go! Soap lasts a long while.
Number 1
When being attacked by a criminal or burglar, you may only protect yourself with the same weapon that the other person possesses. So be prepared, carry everything you might need, and then ask the criminal what they are carrying. Or better yet, post a sign, "rob us only if carrying a _______ (fill in the blank) others stay away!"
Bonus laws:
From Tucson: Women may not wear pants. This one could anger a lot of women.
From Tombstone: It is illegal for men and women over the age of 18 to have less than one missing tooth visible when smiling. If you are a dentist and out of work, consider a move to Tombstone. Seems like there would be a bit of work.
