Law against carrying an ice cream cone in your back pocket??

 In Kentucky, it is illegal to carry an ice cream cone in your back pocket.

My first thought aout this news or fact was, "Why?"  Why is there a law about ice cream?  How could someone carrying ice cream in their back pocket be detrimental or unfair to the community where they live so that a law had to be enacted?  Is it okay to carry ice cream in your front pocket? Really?  I had to investigate. Well, it would appear that Kentucky is not the only state to have this law and I'm not the only one to wonder why such a law exists.  Believe it or not, this law was made to help curb horse theft.  Yes, I raised my eyebrows as well, but its true.  It would seem that if you carried an ice cream cone in your pocket and walked by a horse, it was likely to follow you as horses have an affinity for sweets.  If the horse followed you home, you couldn't very well be accused of stealing it, could you?  So, long ago some legislator introduced the ice cream law as a way to cut down on horse thievery.  Now you know. It would seem there are many such laws around the world.

Some of them are:

• In Texas, it s against the law for anyone to have a pair of pliers in his or her possession.

• In Philadelphia, you can t put pretzels in bags based on an Act of 1760.

• Alaska law says that you can t look at a moose from an airplane.

• In Corpus Christie, Texas, it is illegal to raise alligators in your home.

• In Miami, it is forbidden to imitate an animal.

• It is against the law to mispronounce the name of the State of Arkansas in that State.

• In Illinois, the law is that a car must be driven with the steering wheel.

• California law prohibits a woman from driving a car while dressed in a housecoat.

• In Memphis, Tennessee, a woman is not to drive a car unless a man warns approaching motorists or pedestrians by walking in front of the car that is being driven.

• In Tennessee, it is against the law to drive a car while sleeping.

• In New York, it is against the law for a blind person to drive an automobile.

• In West Virginia, only babies can ride in a baby carriage.

• In Georgia, it is against the law to slap a man on the back or front.

• A barber is not to advertise prices in the State of Georgia .

• In Louisiana, a bill was introduced years ago in the State House of Representatives that fixed a ceiling on haircuts for bald men of 25 cents.

• In Oklahoma, no baseball team can hit the ball over the fence or out of a ballpark.

Such dumb laws still exists. Some may have a legit reason, but they will still sound dumb and sily. If someone really wants to steal a horse, they may carry anyother sweet in there back pockets. As horses like sweets not only ice creams particularlly!! So why a law only on ice creams??
