Love the one about the laughter-inducing fake moustaches in church. But I gotta know, what's the legal term for "booger?"

I'd like to know the back story on each and every one of them. I just can't stop wondering how they came about...!

It's interesting to imagine that state legislators actually spent time drawing up, debating and passing those laws.

You gotta wonder about the booger and the ice cream cone laws.

I think its Minnesota, or Wisconsin, but it is illegal to cross the river while carrying a duck on your head.

LOL. Those were great. I had no idea incestuous marriages were still legal...that just opens the floor to all sorts of fun, doesn't it?

Happy TT!

Of course the train might save the state a little money if it catches you putting salt on the tracks!

And, I suppose it's okay to wear a fake mustache to church as long as no one laughs at you?

Great TT!
