That last was easy because it was in the paper.
I suspect the Americans have won this one. I doubt that this reflects the wisdom of the laws here.
Here are some......

7. In Florida men seen publicly in any kind of strapless gown can be fined.
8. In South Carolina it is legal to beat your wife on the court house steps on Sundays.
9. In Tennessee, you are breaking the law if you drive while sleeping
10. In New York, the penalty for jumping off a building is: Death. ( Go figure)
11. In Danville, Pennsylvania, all fire hydrants must be checked one hour before all fires.
12. In Pennsylvania, its against the law to tie a dollar bill on a string on the ground and pull it away when someone tries to pick it up.
