laws/laughs

got these off Bored.com, you can tell i was pretty bored! these are all true New York state laws..
  • A fine of $25 can be levied for flirting. This old law specifically prohibits men from turning around on any city street and looking "at a woman in that way."
  • A license must be purchased before hanging clothes on a clothesline.
  • Citizens may not greet each other by "putting one's thumb to the nose and wiggling the fingers".
  • Donkeys are not allowed to sleep in bathtubs in Brooklyn, N.Y.
  • It is against the law to throw a ball at someone's head for fun.
  • It is illegal to jump off the Empire State building.
  • New Yorkers cannot dissolve a marriage for irreconcilable differences, unless they both agree to it.
  • You may only water your lawn if the hose is held in your hand.
and here's my favorite..
  • The New York City Transit Authority has ruled that women can ride the city subways topless, since women may go topless in public, providing it is not being used as a business.
