Crazy California Laws

LONG BEACH REAL ESTATE

Crazy California Laws

• The masses are guaranteed Sunshine  (Tell them that on an El Nino year)
• Animals are banned from publicly mating within 1,500 feet of bars, schools and churches. (No, no Rover!)
• It is illegal to own snails, sloths and elephants as pets.  (nuff said?)
• Bathhouses are against the law.  (Bette Midler started her career in the NY bathhouses)
• All vehicles without drivers may not exceed 60 MPH (Hmmmm, that reminds me of the freeway sign as you arrive in San Diego.  It states “Cruise Ships only in the right lane!”).
• Women may not drive in a housecoat.  (What exactly is a housecoat anyway?)
• It’s a misdemeanor to shoot at any kind of game from a moving vehicle, unless the target is a whale.  (I wanna see this)

Chico

• Detonating a nuclear device within the city limits - $500 fine. (What can I say here?)

Hollywood

• It is illegal to drive more than 2000 sheep down Hollywood Blvd. at one time.  (I wanna see this too)

Long Beach

• It’s illegal to cuss on a mini-golf course in Long Beach CA.  (OK, no mini-golf courses in Long Beach Ca, does that mean everybody can cuss away?)
• Cars are the only item allowed in a garage in Long Beach CA.  (Yeah, right!)

Los Angeles

• Toads may not be licked. (Go ask Alice…?)
• You may not hunt moths under a street light. (I wondered why so many street lights were shot out)
• It is a crime for dogs to mate within 500 yards of a church.  Breaking this law will net you a fine of $500 and/or 6 months in prison.  (is that doggy prison?)
• You cannot bathe two babies in the same tub at the same time.  (you show me yours?)
• Zoot suits are prohibited.  (thank gawd!)
• It is illegal to cry on the witness stand.  (Oh, O.J. and Zsa Zsa)
• It is illegal for a man to beat his wife with a strap wider than 2 inches without her consent. (a large percentage of handgun sales in the USA are to women)

Palm Springs

• Between 4 PM and 6 PM it is illegal to walk a camel down Palm Canyon Drive.  (OK…I suppose that means you can ride it instead!)

San Francisco

• Ugly people may not walk down any street.  (No they have wings and tails anyway, they can just fly)

Who wrote these laws???
