Putting tomatoes in clam chowder should be a hanging offense!

I'm pretty sure it is here in Maine...

Boise
Residents may not fish from a giraffe's back.

Hmm...I don't remember ever seeing a giraffe here!

I find this one interesting as we don't need a concealed weapons permit in Idaho:

A law passed in 1912 provided that "The carrying of concealed weapons is forbidden, unless some are exhibited to public view."

The only weird one I can remember for Arkansas is that there are certain sex acts that can only be preformed if you are married.
(not sure if I can mention it here. Use your imagination.) lmao
