A friend of mine posted something about her daughter’s fascination with dumb laws in Pensacola, FL where she lives. I’ve heard about these from time to time but have never really investigated for any verification. So I did. And OMG! Seriously?

These are just a few dumb laws here in Virginia.

? 18.2-344. Fornication.
Any person, not being married, who voluntarily shall have sexual intercourse with any other person, shall be guilty of fornication, punishable as a Class 4 misdemeanor.
(Code 1950, ?? 18.1-188, 18.1-190; 1960, c. 358; 1975, cc. 14, 15.)

———-Man, single people are screwed! Not literally though.

? 18.2-361. Crimes against nature.
If any person carnally knows in any manner any brute animal, or carnally knows any male or female person by the anus or by or with the mouth, or voluntarily submits to such carnal knowledge, he or she shall be guilty of a Class 6 felony.

———-Uh Oh!

Some of the technical jargoned up laws are just too long to post, but here’s a summary.

* No animal may be hunted for on Sunday with the exception of raccoons, which may be hunted until 2:00 AM.

———-I wonder how the racoons rated a later pass.

* It is illegal to tickle women.

———-Good thing Elmo’s a boy.

* Driving while not wearing shoes is prohibited.

———-I wonder if this counts when you’re driving on the beach.

* There is a state law prohibiting “corrupt practices of bribery by any person other than candidates”.

———-Well, of course.

* Not only is it illegal to have sex with the lights on, one may not have sex in any position other than missionary.

———-And exactly HOW do you get busted for this one? Will the Peeping Tom turn them in? Yeah, THAT sounds legal.

DUMB LAWS!
