Here are some weird laws<\/a> in the US. You can see that some of these have a certain twisted logic to them, but a few are really funny. My favorites:<\/p>\n

– In Seattle, Washington, it is illegal to carry a concealed weapon longer than 6 feet. (Last I checked, it was illegal to carry any concealed weapon. Plus, how could you conceal a weapon that is taller than most people?)<\/p>\n

– In Pennsylvania, any motorist who sights a team of horses coming toward him must pull well off the road, cover his car with a blanket or canvas that blends with the countryside, and let the horses pass. If the horses appear to be skittish, the motorist must take his car apart piece by piece, and hide it under the nearest bush. (Wouldn’t that be a drag?)<\/p>\n

– In Trenton, New Jersey, it is illegal to throw a bad pickle in the street.
\n – In Rhode Island, it is illegal to throw pickle juice on a trolley. (OK, what’s the deal with throwing pickle-related items? Why are they worse than throwing other things?)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
