Ten Laws to Vex Any Homeowner

Between building codes and municipal regulations, most people have enough government regulation in their home lives. Add a couple of the laws we found on the books in several states and cities, and it's enough to make one contemplate living in a cave. Luckily, most of these archaic rules aren't enforced.
1. It's illegal to have two indoor bathtubs in any Prunedale, California, home.
mouse 2. Down the coast in El Hoyo, California, it's against the law to set a mousetrap without a hunting license.
3. Don't use your old boxer shorts to wipe down your car in San Francisco unless you want to go to jail. Only new underwear will do.
4. Better watch yourself in the bedroom, too. It's illegal to kick your wife out of bed in Lebanon, Virginia.
5. Take off your shoes before going to bed in North Dakota, because you will be fined for lying down and falling asleep with them on.
6. Women in Oxford, Ohio, have to be careful about where they disrobe. If it's in front of a man's picture, it's against the law.
7. Be sure to take off your pajamas before leaving the house in Chicago. It's illegal to wear pj's while fishing.
onion 8. The only legal bath in Boston is one that has been ordered by a physician. All other bathers are subject to fines.
9. It's against the law to sit on your front porch in an indecent position in Columbus, Georgia.
10. Grants Pass, Oregon, has a special ordinance making it legal to throw onions at obnoxious salesmen if they don't stop knocking on the door or ringing the bell. This law isn't necessarily bad, depending on which side of the door you're standing on.
