Poisoned Purple Pen

Oh Michigan!

Prompt: Dying is illegal in the Houses of Parliaments – This has been voted as the most ridiculous law by the British citizens. What's your take?
What weird laws exist on the books where you live? If you could write a weird law, what would it be?

Let's just say I'm stunned by how stupid some of these are. I mean, come on, when do lawmakers deem it time to change some of these outdated laws? Ever? Doesn't look that way in Michigan.

For instance:
A woman isn’t allowed to cut her own hair without her husband’s permission.
Well, I've committed this crime multiple times. Good thing R hasn't reported me to the police or I'd be donning orange scrubs.

Adultery is illegal, but can only be punished upon a complaint by the affected husband or wife.
I don't recall this actually being used with adultery rates so high.

No man may seduce and corrupt an unmarried girl, or else he risks five years in prison.
Good luck with this law, Michigan.

Couples are banned from making love in an automobile unless the act takes place while the vehicle is parked on the couple’s own property.
Umm, hello. How stupid is this one? I highly doubt if couples wanted to get busy in the car they would park in front of their own home to do so. Where is the fun and excitement of it if your bed is a few feet away?

Willfully destroying your old radio is prohibited
Uh huh. Wonder if this one was ever enforced. Not that the law itself makes any sense to me.

It is illegal for a man to scowl at his wife on Sunday
Ding, ding, ding, ding, DING! Now this little beauty may come in handy. I can seriously see myself using it to get my way on Sunday's. I'll let you know how it goes.


Being the law breaker that I am, I'm all for making changes to what's there already. I don't think we need anymore bizarre laws that no one follows anyway.
