Everyone's heard of the strange laws...like, in certain state's it's illegal to drive without shoes, or drive with your windshield wipers on...but no headlights...
if you know of a strange law please post it. but please try your best to verify it....it's ok to post things you're not sure of..but let's try to stick to legitimate laws. links to other sites are fine if you don't want to post the whole laws, but let's try to keep the duplicates to a minimum and try to post a few of the items from the page...that way we know what kind of humor we're in for.

Parents in some states can be jailed for the curfew violations of their children.
