American laws are often ridiculed all over the world, and Americans themselves love to laugh at their legislation. For example, in a New York taxi, during a trip, the most “stupid laws” are broadcast on the TV screen to entertain passengers.
But nevertheless, for all their “stupidity”, these laws are valid, which makes them even funnier. Let's laugh together at the especially “outstanding” ones, but also take note, just in case, otherwise we might break it out of ignorance.
