Dumb Laws in Oklahoma

One may not promote a "horse tripping event".

It is illegal for the owner of a bar to allow anyone inside to pretend to have sex with a buffalo. (The word PRETEND is a giant loophole in this law.)

Females are forbidden from doing their own hair without being licensed by the state.

Dogs must have a permit signed by the mayor in order to congregate in groups of three or more on private property.

Oklahoma will not tolerate anyone taking a bite out of another's hamburger.

It is against the law to read a comic book while operating a motor vehicle.

Whaling is illegal. (I guess this law was passed too late, there are no longer any whales in Oklahoma.)

It is illegal to have the hind legs of farm animals in your boots. (They made a movie about this, "The man who loved Sheep Dancing")

Residents are taxed for the furniture in their homes, and any other personal belongings. (Not that I know of.)

People who make "ugly faces" at dogs may be fined and/or jailed. (They almost got me for this law but I finaly convinced them that I look like this all of the time!)

Cars must be tethered outside of public buildings.

Oral sex is a misdemeanor and is punisable by one year in jail and a $2,500 fine.(Always check Federal, State and Local laws before sex.)

Anyone arrested for soliciting a hooker must have their name and picture shown on television. (My 15 minutes of fame.)

It's statutory rape for a man over 18 to have sex with a female under the age of 18, provided she's a virgin.

Tattoos are banned. (Not any more, Oklahoma, leading the way! 50th state to legalize tatooing.)
No one may spit on a sidewalk.

It is illegal to wear your boots to bed.

It is illegal to have sex before you are married.

Fish may not be contained in fishbowls while on a public bus.

A sixpack of beer must be put in a sack before it leaves the store but a twelve pack does not have to be. (Not sure about eightpacks, kind of a gray area.)

Tissues are not to be found in the back of one's car.
