00:00Have you ever made fun of someone by saying they can't walk and chew gum at the same

00:04time?

00:05Well, maybe that person is from Singapore.

00:08In Singapore, it's illegal to chew gum.

00:10But you don't have to travel far to find weird and bizarre laws.

00:14In Alaska, it is illegal to view a moose from an airplane.

00:18In Connecticut, it's illegal for a barber to hum a tune whilst cutting your hair.

00:22In Florida, it's illegal to be, well, intimate with a porcupine, although we're not sure

00:27how that's even logistically possible.

00:30In Indiana, you may not catch a fish with your bare hands.

00:34In Maryland, it is prohibited to curse while on the highway, which if you've ever driven

00:38through Baltimore, you know it's not enforced.

00:41In Montana, you cannot pretend to abuse an animal in front of a child.

00:45But like, wait, is this a problem in Montana?

00:47The most ironic law comes from New York, where it's illegal to congregate in public with

00:52two or more people, while each wearing a mask or any face covering which disguises your

00:57identity.

00:58We all know New York had one of the strictest mask mandates during COVID, so the law forced

01:03you to break the law.

01:05These silly laws are often called blue laws.

01:07They are outdated laws that often stem from a stricter religious time in our country,

01:12when many activities were particularly restricted on Sundays or the Sabbath.

01:17While these laws may still technically be on the books, they are not actually enforced.

01:21Then there are some bizarre laws that should be enforced but need not be set.

01:26For example, in Rhode Island, it is illegal to bite off another's limb.

01:29I'm no lawyer, but I think this law should be covered by broader laws of assault.

01:34Or in Oregon, it's illegal to place a container filled with human fecal matter on the side

01:39of any highway.

01:40Littering is already against the law, but I guess they needed to be more specific.

01:44Now, let's get to Missouri, which seems to have an exceptionally large amount of these

01:49blue laws.

01:50Missouri became a state in 1821, and it wasted no time in creating bizarre laws.

01:56Some of these laws only apply to specific towns or jurisdictions.
