Fireworks stores may not sell fireworks to Pennsylvania residents. Dynamite is not to be used to catch fish. It is illegal to have over 16 women live in a house together because that constitutes a brothel. However up to 120 men can live together, without breaking the law.

Any motorist driving along a country road at night must stop every mile and send up a rocket signal, wait 10 minutes for the road to be cleared of livestock, and continue. A person is not eligible to become Governor if he/she has participated in a duel. Any motorist who sights a team of horses coming toward him must pull well off the road, cover his car with a blanket or canvas that blends with the countryside, and let the horses pass. If the horses appear skittish, the motorist must take his car apart, piece by piece, and hide it under the nearest bushes.

A special cleaning ordinance bans housewives from hiding dirt and dust under a rug in a dwelling. It is contrary to Pennsylvania law to discharge a gun, cannon, revolver or other explosive weapon at a wedding. Carlisle In the middle of town, one must pay a fee of $50 dollars a year to park on a particular block. At night, however, the cars must be moved for street cleaning. This law is enforced even if snow or ice prevents the cars from being moved. Connellsville One's pants may be worn no lower than five inches below the waist.

Ah Peg Posted by MsMary (TD) Oct 6 2007 7:07PM They are all too funny--and some are also laws here in Wisconsin--especially the fishing ones--glad I don't fish. Thanks again Peg RE: Laws Posted by cowgirl73160 Oct 6 2007 10:29PM Yes, I agree, they are all too funny, but the one in Danville with the fire hydrants, did the law makers think the citizens of Danville had ESP? Did they think they knew when fires occurr?? LOL Lisa |
