No low riding pants. Love that one. Well done Georgia!

No hair legged women in New Mexico, nice!

NO checking out women in NYC??!!! Damn, just send me to jail if that's the case.

All I saw were a bunch of obsolete, unenforced laws. I'm sure Canada has a few of those, too.

Would make an interesting TV Show. Go to each State where these laws exist, break them, then make a big deal about it. Would fit right in with countless other shows on History, TLC, and other specialty channels.

Why go to the USA when you've got plenty of suitable examples in Canada?

I'm surprised someone hasn't thought of this yet...

Not all of them are dumb - I wholeheartedly support Cancon. As soul-destroying as Nickelback and Justin Beiber may be, I prefer having to hear them on radio than Nikki Minaj and most other 'popular' American artists. :lol:

The prohibition on dice for craps is to prevent the use of loaded dice (either by the house or by patrons swapping them).

As for snow removal - for cities to remove all the snow on all city sidewalks would require far more tax revenues than even Canadians would pay!

Many of the rest make a lot of sense - but then I guess Americans don't care if their cities are no pee-zones or not!

[tangent]Forgive me for missing this cultural meme, but why do some people hate Nickleback so much? I won't buy their music, but I don't see anything so terribly offensive in it, either.[/tangent]

George Carlin once wryly observed that:

It's a fifty dollar fine if you get caught spitting on the New York subway. But, hey, vomiting's free!

Haven't checked the link, but sure, why not? Could travel from country to country. Just make sure all those dumb laws are not actually taken seriously in certain places or else bad things may happen. :lol:

Apparently, when you get out of jail, in Canada, you get a horse and a gun :P

A few years ago someone actually tried to claim his gun and horse on release. 8O

I think the law was removed shortly thereafter. :lol:

Beats me too. One of the best bands in the world, and I like some of their songs.

You mught see some hate in forums like this, but their record sales (including in Canada) tell a different story.

I should know those laws? I know them now, but I don't think I was in any particular danger before. :roll:

Notice the emoticon? It was meant as sarcasm...
