A man walked into the corner store with a shotgun and demanded all of the money from the cash register. After the cashier put the money in the bag as instructed, the man demanded the bottle of Scotch he saw behind the counter. The cashier refused to hand over the Scotch because he did not believe the man was 21. The robber swore he was, but still the clerk refused. Finally, the robber handed over his ID and proved that he was indeed twenty-one. As soon as he left, the cashier called and gave the police the name and address of the man who had just robbed the store. The suspect was arrested two hours later. Dumblaws.com

It amazes me that the man would actually ask the man for id even though he was being robbed at gunpoint. Then add the fact that the man handed over his id. Real insane how people can be so stupid. Anyway the criminal himself is the best part of this story I say. It was an everyday robbery and he made a complete idiot out of himself. better find a different day job cause robbing is definately what he is not good at.

All married women must get their husband's permission if they wish to have a job, they must live wherever the husband wishes to reside, and they must forfeit all jointly held assets upon divorce from her husband. (Repealed January 1, 2002)

Sounds harsh towards the woman in this country. The woman is being treated as if she were a child. She has to ask if she can get a job and everything goes to the husband anyway. I am all for equal rights and this law is a terrible thing. I understand it being in the old times but seeing it has lasted for lonf long is nuts.

Any person who shall pretend or exercise to use any type of witchcraft, sorcery, enchantment, or pretend knowledge in any occult or or craft or science shall for any such offense suffer imprisonment at the time of one whole year and also shall be obliged to obscursion for his/her good behavior. (1736)
For this time period you can see the understandings. The world was a different place back then and everyone was paranoid and supersticious. Prison for a whole year seems harsh but its better then death and you see in the majority of the films on such a topic.

Location of law:Michigan

You may not swear in front of women and children in the state of Michigan. This law only sounds stupid because you know there is no way that it can't be broken. Not to mention the fact that its in Michigan. One of the worst states that has the highest crime rate. I can't imagine how many times people swear in front of woman and chidren. Also the fact that woman and children swear themselves. I do not see this law working at all. Maybe in the old times but not now. Its probably a law that not one even gets in trouble for since there are more problems in the world that are worse then that one.

Location of law: Indiana

It is illegal for a liquor store to sell cold soft drinks.
a liquor store is after all a LIQUOR store so in the sense be specified in selling the product and not soft drinks that can compete with it. Plus on the upside having no soda will limit the minors that come into the store and perhaps getting the idea of stealing or attempting to purchase the liquor.

Liquor stores may not sell milk. Geez....This store can't sell anything can they? Well there is no law against juice being sold inside. Milk being a pure substance that builds strong bones can not be sold in a place where items that kill brain cells are sold? Who knew?
