Governing a big country is a tough job, and you are bound to be hated by half of the population you're ruling. Now, bear in mind, that the person on top, is also responsible for the laws, upon which, the whole democratic system is based. And laws are passed after voting of the Congress, sometimes public vote, and then an affirmation of the president. With these dumb laws, that we have compiled below, we're not sure, where common sense got lost.
Did you know, that there's a crazy law in Juneau, Alaska prohibiting you from bringing your pet flamingo into a barbershop? Or that in Tenessee you might be prosecuted for sharing your Netflix password? And if you're from Indiana that you are banned from catching a fish with your bare hands? It sure would be interesting to know, why these weirdest laws in the U.S. became laws in the first place.
Though most of these laws sound incredibly dumb now, once they've had, or still does have, a real pretense. For example, the New York law against people wearing masks in public places is to prevent a mass crime or a riot, since you don't know the assailant's identity undercover. And the Arizona one, about camel shooting prohibitions, stems from United States Camel Corps, an army experiment to use these animals for military forces. So there, as improbable as these laws might seem, they do have comprehensive explanations. Scroll down below for our list of weird rules in the U.S. and share if you know more of these!

Ok this one makes some sense... but the fact that it is a law is disturbing... were people actually selling their kids at one point? (I'm sorry if that was a stupid question, I'm only fifteen)
Well, at some point in every country's history, due to starvation and stuff, it would have been acceptable to sell your offspring, one less mouth to feed and money to buy more food. "No kids is good kids - no kidding!" Wow, maybe they also had cheesy marketing slogans back then too.

Call me ~crazy~ but I believe that selling your children is illegal in every state.
ME: *sighs* Well, I guess I'm stuck with you guys.................. forever.
Well, kids, you're off the hook. But we're moving to another country...
I would have listed the one about how it's illegal to get a fish drunk, but...
Damn and I just sold my kids so I can go on my dream vacation.
Why would you even sell your own flesh and blood? That's just stupid!
During the Great Depression they could have. Many parents did because they needed money for food, housing, etc.
Have my kids for a week and you'll figure it out.

These laws are very absurd and don't actually provide any real use (unless to make me laugh). :)
In Gainesville, Georgia it's illegal to eat fried chicken except with your hands.
In Czech republic was quite crazy law. In case a cyclist caused accident where somebody was hurt he/she could got a year in prison and fine up to 50000 CZK (nearly 2000 USD). Even when the only harmed person was himself/herself. Yes, you could get $1000 fine for falling from your bicycle...
A friend told me that some other country it is illegal to rob a bank with a bullet proof vest XD
