Silly State Laws

did ya know

To get you scratching your head, here are a few silly state laws for your entertainment:

– Newlyweds in the U.S. Virgin Islands, after getting married, must go promptly to the court clerk so that the wife can change her last name to her husband’s.  The law requires the wife to change her name.

– Alabama’s constitution still requires that public schools be segregated, separating the white children from the colored children.

– In Michigan, it is a crime for a man and a woman to live together.  Anyone convicted of this crime can be jailed for up to one year and fined up to $1,000.

– A person cannot buy the following items in New Jersey on a Sunday:  alcohol, clothing, furniture, home furnishings, and appliances.
