12 Weird State Laws

I wish I could have heard the discussion for when these laws were passed.

12 Weird State Laws
www.freeworldmaps.net

States have created some pretty weird laws over the years. There is usually some reason or story behind why a law is created, but reading the law with no context can be an entertaining experience. Here are some of the strangest and most random laws I could find.

Alabama: You may not have an ice cream cone in your back pocket at any time.

But your front pocket is fine, don't worry.

Arizona: Donkeys cannot sleep bathtubs.

But my donkey needs his favorite shampoo bottle to go to sleep.

California: No vehicle without a driver may exceed 60 miles per hour.


Please, keep your driverless cars to 55 miles per hour for our safety.

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

That’s only fair.

Hawaii: Coins cannot be placed in one’s ears.

This state does not trust magicians.

Indiana: The value of pi is 3.

This state does not trust mathematicians.

Louisiana: “Fake” wrestling matches are prohibited.

We want real wrestling or nothing.

Minnesota: A person may not cross state lines with a duck atop his head.

A real duck or a duck mask?

New Hampshire: Any cattle that crosses state roads must be fitted with a device to gather its feces.

My cows always have diapers on.

Pennsylvania: Dynamite is not to be used to catch fish.

But it works so well.

South Dakota: No horses are allowed into Fountain Inn unless they are wearing pants.


Keep it classy, horses.

Washington: All lollipops are banned.

They are too sticky.


Be careful to strictly adhere to these laws when you are in these states. I'm sure they are enforced heavily by police. It's a dangerous world out there when people don't pay to park their elephants and forget to buy pants for their horses.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
