Weird Laws

[Whiplash Performance]

Ranked at #25 is our you cannot pump gas in NJ.


5. Skunks may not be carried into the state of Tennessee. Look, skunks are gross no matter where they are and they tend to carry rabies which is something that you don't want to find anywhere. Tennessee is simply trying to keep skunks out and make their state smell better in addition to keeping rabies well outside of the entire state. They may still have a ways to go.

4. No one may cross Minnesota state lines with a duck on top of their head. This one is a little harder to explain than the Tennessee skunk law. First of all, who doesn't like ducks? Secondly, why can't they be carried on one's head? Perhaps this is just another disease prevention measure -- maybe residents in neighboring states tend to carry their ducks around on their heads.


3. In Ohio, It's illegal to get a fish drunk. How one would even attempt to feed alcohol to a fish is beyond us unless they have the little buggers swimming in it. And that just seems cruel and dangerous. So there's no reason to disagree with this particular law -- except there's no real indication as to how this law could regularly be enforced.

2. Next door neighbors may not lend each other vacuum cleaners in Denver, Colorado. We feel bad for people who live in Denver and don't own their own vacuum cleaners and we probably won't be visiting those people anytime soon due to the fact that it's probably been some time since they've cleaned the carpets. However, this law more than likely fell off the books long ago and is no longer enforced. So vacuum cleaner owners of Denver, lend away!

1. If an elephant is left tied to a parking meter in Florida, the parking fee must be paid just as if a car had parked there. While this may seem very odd, it's actually not unusual for a circus elephant to end up in Florida. The Ringling Museum, located in the house where John Ringling lived, is located in Sarasota, Florida. The entire state is pretty proud of their circus elephants.

Me too lol. They can never figure out how to fill up the Grand National. One guy shot gas all over my Grand National trying to pump it.

Then on the GTO they just let my gas cap hang against the paint.

I lost count of the number of pump jockeys who have tried to fill the GTP with regular. I usually ask for gas by number, seeing as how one of the first things you grasp when you learn a language (native or secondary) are numbers and some places call premium super or ultra or something else. But that doesn't always work.
