The Weird and Strange Laws in Florida
Florida is known as the Sunshine State.
Keep in mind if it is a law, there was a reason or a need for it to be written.
Number 5
The state constitution allows for freedom of speech, a trial by jury, and pregnant pigs to not be confined in cages. Finally, pigs unite! Why hasn't every other state instituted this law for pregnant pigs?
Number 4
A special law prohibits unmarried women from parachuting on Sunday or she shall risk arrest, fine, and/or jailing. This special law was put in place to protect the skies for married women, celebrate!
Number 3
It is illegal to sell your children. I'm sorry, if you want to get rid of them you are just going to have to give them away, or sell them in another state!
Number 2
You may not fart in a public place after 6 p.m. Well this puts a whole new tune on ordering bar food doesn't it. No chili cheese fries, skip the onion rings and for heavens sake, don't order the baked beans with your BBQ because you definitely don't want to pay the price. Your companions will thank you!
Number 1
Having sexual relations with a porcupine is illegal. Ouch! I have to reiterate that the law is in place because the situation was at hand and needed to be acted upon. So this happened - probably more than once. I'll say it again, Ouch!
And for anyone visiting the Sunshine state on vacation, I just thought you'd want to know about the following:
You may not kiss your wife's breasts.
Oral sex is illegal.
It is considered an offense to shower naked.
When having sex, only the missionary position is legal.
So, don't have fun on your vacation or you might have to pay the price!
