I must warn visitors and immigrants to this country to check out all local laws in your destinations before venturing across our borders. God help you if you crash land in the wrong area.
It is illegal to build, maintain, or use a nuclear weapon within Chico, California, city limits. Enacted in the 1980s as an anti-nuclear statement, it carries a $500 fine. Successful use of a nuclear weapon can result in arrest and prosecution immediately after the town's and your annihilation by... well... hmn. Maybe this is like the old (Louisiana?) anti-suicide law whereupon the body of the one successful in committing the crime was dragged through the streets; in this case, your non-existant body will be dragged through the lost streets to pay your fine to What Once Was.
It seems that, in 1948, two pickle canning schemers tried to sell pickles 'unfit for human consumption'. In response, Connecticut’s Food and Drug Commissioner proclaimed that a real pickle 'should bounce' when dropped from a height of one foot, thereby the state regulation that a pickle that doesn't bounce cannot be sold. Be sure to look for the quality control sticker revealing who bounced each pickle in the jar to verify certification.
For chicken eaters in Gainesville, Georgia ('the poultry capital of the world'), 'finger-lickin’ good' is mandatory. The law was added to the city code in 1961 as a publicity stunt but it's now illegal to eat fried chicken with anything other than your fingers. A tourist was apprehended for such a chicken-eating violation in 2009. Evidently the tourist had no fingers and met their demise face first.
