I remember reading an article in my Mom's Readers Digest about silly laws that were still on the books back then (probably the 1950s). Some examples I remember because I've talked about them from time to time:
In New York it was illegal for red headed women to play professional baseball.
In Texas shoplifting raw beef was covered by cattle rustling laws and carried the death penalty. By the way I know this one to be true because I lived most of my life in Texas and I remember when they finally got around to repealing it. As far as I know it was never enforced.
There was also some baseball regulation somewhere about whether a fly ball carried away by a low flying airplane could be considered a home run. Okay it's not a law but it fits the pattern anyway.
These are just the few I remember from a much longer list.
So never doubt that silly laws exist. After all, laws are made by people who are voted in by voters and that gets some silly results sometimes.
