Dumb and Stupid Laws in Connecticut

Dumbness and stupidity can be found at the highest levels of our society. The law is not exempt from examples of stupidity. And it is found far and wide across our country in each and every state. All states have weird and dumb laws on the books. It is often more time consuming and costly to have them removed, so there they sit. They usually aren't acted upon but they are legal and binding and can be enacted upon if an officer of the law wanted to do so. Some are actually new and have been used recently. How strange are Connecticut's weird laws? Here are the top five strangest laws in Connecticut. These are listed here in descending order for your entertainment. It is hoped that you would not use them to enact a citizen's arrest! Talk about dumb and stupid!

Keep in mind if it is a law, there was a reason or a need for it to be written.

Number 5
From Waterbury
It is illegal for any beautician to hum, whistle, or sing while working on a customer. So how bad do the beauticians sing in Waterbury? Can they carry a tune? Or are they all tone deaf?

Number 4
You can be stopped by the police for biking over 65 miles per hour. Only if they can catch you! But then again, 65 miles per hour doesn't seem possible does it?

Number 3
Town records may not be kept where liquor is sold. Remember this is a law because it obviously was a problem at one time!

Number 2
It is illegal to dispose of used razor blades. So what do they do with all their used razor blades? Do we need to start a "How to reuse and recycle your razor blades webpage?" What craft can you make from razor blades?

Number 1
In order for a pickle to officially be considered a pickle, it must bounce. I didn't know pickles bounce. OK, how many of you are heading to your kitchen to see if they bounce? Come on, admit it.

And a few extras:
From Devon
It is unlawful to walk backwards after sunset. Don't moon walk in Devon at night!

And from Hartford
You aren't allowed to cross a street while walking on your hands. I can't think of anything funny here, it just seems like a strange law.

Also from Hartford
You may not educate dogs. So you know the dogs playing poker velvet painting wasn't done in Hartford.
