It is illegal to shoot small game from moving streetcars in New York.
It is illegal to hunt squirrels with automatic weapons in Minnesota.

Or so I've heard. Who knows if these are real or not.

In Norfolk, Virginia, a woman can't go out without wearing a corset. (There was a civil-service job--for men only--called a corset inspector.)

In Oblong, Illinois, it's punishable by law to make love while hunting or fishing on your wedding day.

In Oxford, Ohio, it's illegal for a woman to strip off her clothing while standing in front of a man's picture.

In hotels in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, every room is required to have twin beds. And the beds must always be a minimum of two feet apart when a couple rents a room for only one night. And it's illegal to make love on the floor between the beds!

A Tremonton, Utah law states that no woman is allowed to have sex with a man while riding in an ambulance. In addition to normal charges, the woman's name will be published in the local newspaper. The man does not receive any punishment.

Is this true?

I bet there are alot of Co-eds at the Univerisity of Miami, Oxford that are guilty of that one. The city could make a killing on fines, either that or there will be a run on job applications for prison guard.

Sorry...can't pass this up...

What if you're straddling the border? (Aka the "My dick's in Malaysia" defense).

I hear the penis extradition laws are difficult at best to enforce.
