Oh Missouri...You're So Silly!

Missouri has some really silly laws

For the entire state:

It is illegal to have oral sex.

I have no words....

Single men between the ages of twenty-one and fifty must pay an annual tax of one dollar (enacted 1820).

An incentive to get married?

It is not illegal to speed.

Do the police know about this??? Cause I've gotten a few tickets in my time.

City Laws in Missouri:

Buckner

In this small town of only 4,000, yard waste may be burned any day except Sunday.

I'm not sure why this is listed as a silly law

Columbia

One may not drink in a bar between 2:00 and 6:00 AM.

What can you do in a bar then?? I happen to know this is actually enforced and they have all night juice bar/dance clubs.

You can not have a antenna exposed outside of your house yet you can have a 25′ satellite dish.

1. What??? 2. Who actually still has a 25' satellite???

Though clotheslines are banned, clothes may be draped over a fence.

Your fence is only aesthetically unpleasing for a short time. Your clothesline is ugly all the time.

Kansas City

Minors are not allowed to purchase cap pistols, however they may buy shotguns freely.

Those cap pistols are dangerous...

Installation of bathtubs with four legs resembling animal paws is prohibited.

Cause they're just creepy

Marceline

Minors can buy rolling paper and tobacco but not lighters.

You can smoke but if you're going to be a pyro you're screwed

Marquette

It is illegal for more than four unrelated persons to occupy the same dwelling (The Brothel Law).

Does this mean there aren't any apartment buildings in Marquette??

Mole

Frightening a baby is in violation of the law.

So don't be a big meanie

Natchez

It shall be unlawful to provide beer or other intoxicants to elephants.

This makes me wonder...are there a lot of elephants in Natchez?

Purdy

Dancing is strictly prohibited.

I saw Footloose. Teenagers Unite!!

St. Louis

It’s illegal to sit on the curb of any city street and drink beer from a bucket.

Can I drink whiskey from a bucket??

A milk man may not run while on duty.

What if he's being chased by a herd of cats??

University City

Four women may not rent an apartment together.

3 or 5 is fine we just can't have 4

Houses may not have lights on them that shine into the window of a neighbor’s house.

It's called common courtesy people

It is illegal to request for someone to “watch over” your parked car.

Apparently there is no valet parking in University City
