Dumb and Stupid Laws in Oklahoma

Janet Trieschman
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 Oklahoma's weird laws? Here are the top five strangest laws in Oklahoma. 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!

Number 5

It is illegal for the owner of a bar to allow anyone inside to pretend to have sex with a buffalo.

That is why there are so many buffalo status outside of establishments.

Number 4

Females are forbidden from doing their own hair without being licensed by the state.

This may explain something...

Number 3

Dogs must have a permit signed by the mayor in order to congregate in groups of three or more on private property.

Oklahoma dogs are of a higher mental caliber than we originally gave them credit for!

Number 2

People who make "ugly faces" at dogs may be fined and/or jailed.

Dogs rule!

Number 1

Whaling is illegal.

Geography lesson 101: Whales live in the ocean. Oklahoma is a land locked state.
