Or at least, it's the law somewhere. I have not confirmed any of the laws included in the list below (sent to me, of course, by a cousin). I can attest that there are some goofy laws on the books.
One that does not appear is a local ordinance in Marin County (California) that makes it illegal to peel an orange in a motel room. The fact that the law exists is less interesting to me than what circumstances prompted the city council (or whomever) to pass such specific laws.
