In Kentucky it's illegal to carry ice cream in your back pocket. 😛

Also in England it is illegal to busk within 500 yards of a church whilst it is holding a service, and to poke a policeman in the eye with a sharpened pencil.

There's a law in the state of arizona that says if someone asks for a glass of water, you have to give it to them or you can be arrested.

There's another law somewhere in the northwest that says if you wear a mask you can be arrested, even during halloween. I believe.

Here in New Hampshire, you can be fined for Maintaining National Forests without a permit.
Also, you cannot sell the clothes you are wearing to pay off a gambling debt and any cattle crossing state roads must wear a device to gather its feces. I can only imagine that this is some kind of bin or basket. You can still be hanged here, and on Sundays, citizens may not go to the bathroom while looking upwards. The best one is that it is illegal to remove sea weed from a beach, espcially considering that we only have 13 miles of coastline.

I'm from Haverhill, which is right on the VT border, about an hour north of Hanover/Lebanon (assuming you follow the speed limits) Where are you from?

Didn't know how to sumarize this, so here is a federal law quotation:

Whenever any citizen of the United States discovers a deposit of guano on any island, rock, or key, not within the lawful jurisdiction of any other government, and not occupied by the citizens of any other government, and takes peaceable possession thereof, and occupies the same, such island, rock, or key may, at the discretion of the President, be considered as appertaining to the United States.
