Every country has it’s dumb laws. For Singapore, we are famous for chewing gum ban. Well, first of all, Singapore doesn’t really ban chewing gum. I believe the government ban the sales of chewing gum. However, things are opening up, one chewing gum is authorized for sale in Singapore already.
Here are some dumb United States laws:
The penalty for jumping off a building is death. - Location: United States, New York
It kinda suggests that if you jump down the building, you’re probably better off dead. Because if you don’t - you will soon anyway.
Idiots may not vote. - Location: United States, New Mexico
Actually, if you consider the actual meaning of the word ‘idiot’, it actually quite make sense.
No vehicle without a driver may exceed 60 miles per hour. - _Location: United States, California_
Listen to this James Bond if you ever go to California.
Having sexual relations with a porcupine is illegal. - Location: United States, Florida
I would supposed the United States government don’t want their citizens to get poked.
Detonating a nuclear device within the city limits results in a $500 fine. - Location: United States, California, Chico
This must have been a discounted price. In Singapore, possessing a liquid gas cylinder in the train station would result in a SG$5,000 fine. Things sure are cheaper in the States.
Persons classified as “ugly” may not walk down any street. - Location: United States, California, San Francisco
I knew it! This world is one where looks matter; even the law dictates the idea.
I am not sure if these laws are still in effects, anyway you can read a lot more about dumb laws.
