Talking "Dumb Laws" what were these people thinking?

I found this site a few years back. I think its absolutely rediculous and histerically funny that some of these laws were and still are in act. Check it out http://www.dumblaws.com/

Here Is Tennesee for your enjoyment.

Illegal for a woman to drive a car unless there is a man either running or walking in front of it waving a red flag to warn approaching motorists and pedestrians.

It's illegal for frogs to croak after 11 PM.

Panhandlers must first obtain a $10 permit before begging on the streets of downtown Memphis. (Passed in 1996)

It is illegal to give any pie to fellow diners. It is also illegal to take unfinished pie home. All pie must be eaten on the premises.

The dog catcher must notify dogs of impounding by posting, for three consecutive days, a notice on a tree in the city park and along a public road running through said park.

If an elephant is left tied to a parking meter, the parking fee has to be paid just
as it would for a vehicle

Man there goes my plan for parking for free.

I knew I had been running in front of the wife's car waving that red flag for a reason, but I stopped firing my gun out the window at intersections a few years ago, it seems there is a law AGAINST that here in Ontario.

Sorry to bring this one back but...

I heard a good one today. "It is illegal in the state of Georgia to carry an ice creme cone in your back pocket on Sunday". At least there's ONE law I haven't broken!:p
