Here Are The Top Dumbest Laws In All The 50 States

by Austin Petersen

#39. Rhode Island

Do people actually live here? I’ve never met anyone from this place. This makes sense because if we lived there, we’d be tempted to bite off our own legs, which is fine. But it is against the law to bite off the legs of other people. And if that wasn’t stupid enough, apparently it’s a crime to throw pickle juice at someone while on a trolley. How many times has this actually happened?! You know that some stupid politician in 1902 probably got pickle juice spilled on them on a trolley and just had to pass a law to persecute some poor, unfortunate soul. Still, another good reason why Rhode Island sucks. Leave the state immediately. But if you do, make sure you make a loud noise when you pass someone, because otherwise it’s illegal.
