Silly laws

Canada
In Calgary there is a by-law that is still on the books that requires
businesses within the city to provide rails for tying up horses.
I would comment on that last one but it is just to easy.

In Los Angeles, you cannot bathe two babies in the same
tub at the same time

It is illegal to drive more than two thousand sheep down Hollywood Boulevard at one time

In Los Angeles, a man is legally entitled to beat his wife with a leather belt or strap, but the belt can't be wider than 2 inches, unless he has his wife's consent to beat her with a wider strap

In Denver it is unlawful to lend your vacuum cleaner to your next-door neighbor

In Devon, Connecticut, it is unlawful to walk backwards after sunset.

In England it is illegal to sell most goods on a sunday, (this law is mostly ignored), it is however legal to sell a carrot. It is also legal to sell it at any price and to give free gifts with it, such as anything else one might want to buy on a sunday!

In Miami, it's illegal for men to be seen publicly in any kind of strapless gown.
