Here's a fun law from Wisconsin, albeit one not enforced. Since 1895 (if I recall right) a standing law in the state makes it illegal to sell margarine. The Oleomargarine Law was in effect until 1967 until a SCOTUS ruling declared it violated the Commerce Clause. However, the law was never technically repealed and remains on the books to this day.
@@Lady_of_Ishpeming Okay, while I sympathize with you, every oil we consume is one or two atoms away from being turned into a plastic polymer. Animal fats, olive oil, rapeseed oil, canola oil (a primary ingredient in most margarine). It's not exactly the same as comparing Velveeta to Plastique Explosive (and yes you can turn Velveeta "cheese" into Plastique Explosive rather easily, or napalm).
@@Johnboy33545I don't disagree, but it's produced in effectively the same way as all margarine is today. I'm not pro-margarine, just pointing out some basic facts.
You are close but not totally correct. The sale of YELLOW margarine was illegal but white has always been allowed. Also, Gov. Warren Knowles signed the bill repealing Wisconsin's 72-year-old ban on the sale of colored oleomargarine in 1967. Even now, restaurants are not allowed to put margarine on the table, it has to be specifically ordered by the customer (which might be where your confusion is coming from). I grew up in the days of the oleo runs to Illinois. We were a butter family so never participated but every Christmas Mom would buy a bag of margarine at the store for some of the baking and we kids got to pop the dye button and knead the color into it. We never had margarine for everyday eating.
The term “idiot” was an accepted legal classification for a long time. In the Census forms of 1870, people were asked to check a box for each household resident if the person were “blind, deaf, insane or idiotic.”
The Nebraska marriage law might involve blood tests. They used to have them here in Alabama, and you had to go to the health department to get a blood test for syphilis and when it came back negative, you took your results to the courthouse and get a marriage license. Then you just needed to find a minister and a witness.
By 1980 34 states still required a blood test. Of these 34, 19 states repealed their law in the 1980s, 7 repealed in the 1990s, and 7 more repealed between 2000 and 2008, Mississippi in 2009, and the last holdout was Montana which repealed the requirement in 2019.
When the 'idiot' law was written, the term was not just an insult but an actual identifier of people with the most severe mental disabilities. To be specific, there was a scale that was based on IQ scores: 25 and below were idiots, 25-50 were imbeciles, and 25-75 were morons. They were not considered just interchangeable words for anybody you hapen to think is stupid. The purpose behind the law was probably because they believed that people with such a low IQ wouldn't be capable of understanding the issues at hand and would just be drawing doodles. It has not aged well.
Just a funny story about surprise pizza... A few years ago I get a knock at my door and it's a delivery guy with a bunch of pizza, French fries and a salad. I said I think you have the wrong house. He asked about the address and it was my house. We'll not ordering anything I started to ask questions, mainly is it paid for or do I owe you money. The bill was about $50 so not terrible. He then asked me about a person. Turns out that my then 6 year old daughter and her 8 year old friend went and ordered pizza online! They were shocked it worked and the pizza guy was very apologetic and was will to take it back. Instead we had a good laugh, dinner and they haven't ordered anything since.
2 weird laws in my area (though I am not sure if they are still on the books): #1. Only non emergency vehicle legally allowed to drive through red lights, through stop signs and past road blocks, Mail vehicles. Why? The Mail Muse Go Through! #2. When a prisoner is release from prison, it is the law for them to be given a saddled horse, a gun, and 1 bullet, Why the gun and the bullet? In case the horse needs to be put down.
I figured the Winnie the Pooh one would have been from North Korea, considering some have compared the character to the dictator. Or was that the President of China?
This isn't a law, but I once had to get three different doctor's notes for my then job. 1. I could have something to drink at my register. 2. I could keep my rescue inhaler with me at all times (job wanted me to keep it in my locker upstairs.) 3. I could use the bathroom when I deemed it fit. I'm so glad I don't work there anymore.
In SC the pinball machine used to be a poker machine., no flippers. I remember some of them when I was very young. They were phasing out. In SC, if you check into a hotel as Mr. and Mrs. and not married, you are now by common law. If your girlfriend gets mail at her bf place as Mrs. , you are common law married. Also, you can't spit on the side walk, but it does not mention any other bodily functions.
In my state it is illegal to chuck your couch at your neighbor! You also aren’t allowed to take baths between Oct. and March. You either have to pick having a mustache or kissing. You can’t have both!!
In Western Australia you can also get in trouble for cleaning seabird poo or bat droppings without a licence. You can be jailed for up to a year under Section 387, Criminal Code Act 1913 (WA).
Laws and food: apparently in the U.S. Heinz ketchup has 20% sugar. However, here in Canada, because our laws regarding food content are much more strict, Heinz ketchup has only 4% sugar. The sweetness is derived from the very ripe tomatoes used in making it.
Also, on a side note, if the law about idiots not being allowed to vote was a federal national law, 95% of Americans would lose voting rights. But in reality, the way the us government is set up, the people's vote doesn't really count. It's only an "advisory vote" or recommendation. But in reality, the electoral college, which is directly chosen by the Senate without elections or consent from the public, can pick whoever they want even if they receive no public votes or aren't even running for office. (They're lying if they say laws require them to vote for who the public chose) this is not true. They just say that, so nobody notices they don't really get a vote... no such laws actually exist, or if so, the senate ignores them because we can't do anything about it to punish them... The reason I say 95% of Americans are idiots is because they don't know how government actually works so shouldn't get to decide whos part of it, thats how corrupt or incompetent people are put in power, because dumb people vote for them then wonder why they are incompetent at their position and wonder why they can't trust the government. If you think the president affects prices, you're one of those people. Prices are set by private companies, and tariffs/ imports and exports are by Congress. The President has nothing to do with it. He legally can't set prices. If so, everything would be cheaper than our wages instead of higher. Also, most people don't know how to drive correctly, so why should they get to vote if they can't even drive without breaking the law. Driving isn't very hard... (im not saying certain people shouldn't get to vote im only explaining that most people would fall under the "idiot" category today if it were a federal law) but i do believe you should take a voter education class or political science class before you can vote because Hitler was elected legally and fair and square because people were too dumb or uneducated to be able to vote responsibly.
I think the following "law" is still on the books here in Columbus, OH. It is illegal to eat Corn Flakes on Sundays. Not the entire state of Ohio, just Columbus.
When I got married 32 years ago, in order to get married your needed a marriage license and a blood test for both partners showing they were free of STDs. This was in California where I lived. I ended up getting married in Nevada (not because of this FYI) because we decided to do a quicker and cheaper wedding. They did not require a blood test.
I have to be honest here. I honestly don’t know how many times a day my husband and I take our dog out for her constitutionals. She goes out almost every time she “asks”. She has gotten a little bit spoiled about it, but I really don’t care. The thing is that she has never had an accident in the house which is just wonderful for us. We love her so f-ing much that it’s not even funny because she’s our fur baby, end of story, no question. She is the best Baby Girl ever, and I don’t care what anyone has to say about it.
For some reason pinball machines were equated with one-armed bandits (slot machines) back in the day. Maybe it was because you could win a free game? Maybe because the same companies that made slot machines also made the pinball machines. I'm old enough to remember you had to be 18 to play pinball.
In Joplin, MO it is illegal for ugly people to walk down Main Street on Saturday night. Circuses used to have Winter quarters there and it was a big mining area. Circa 1900. Side show workers would get in brawls with miners on Saturdays so the city council banned ugly people (side show workers) from being on Main Street on Saturday when the miners got paid and got drunk.
I'm from Vermont, and I've never heard that rule about dentures. But I do know that back in the 18th century, I would not be allowed to walk the streets of the city unaccompanied - and my husband would have to have a musket to protect me.
There is a law on the books in Utah that states every business needs to have a place to tie a horse in front. I know, it's weird. And no, it's not enforced.
The pizza law is something we need here in my town. We have a neighbor who sends pizzas to his neighbors and they are hit with a bill to pay at the door. These pizza companies should take payment upfront, but they don’t. These poor neighbors and pizza delivery people, as well as the pizza companies are being used in this crazy guys harassment plans. He was finally arrested, but let go, after doing this for more than three years. He still harasses the neighborhood to this day.
In Sweden you have to walk your dog at least every 6 hours. Nighttime when you are sleeping is an exception though. If you have caged animals like birds and rabbits, they have to be allowed free time outside the cage at least a few hours a day. If you don’t follow the law, nobody will really find out or care but it’s meant to keep your pets happy. Don’t buy a pet if you don’t want it to be happy. My rabbit don’t have a cage at all. She’s free roaming in the apartment and has her own pillow she sleeps on in my bed.
Winnie Pooh is a teddy bear and in the original drawings in the books, by H E Shepard, he doesn't have a red shirt, because that was added by Disney. The original real Winnie was a zoo bear, that the real Christopher Robin, son of A A Milne, named his Harrods teddy bear after. That teddy bear inspired his father's books. Those Polish officials are idiots, tiddily pom. 😆
I worked in Gainesville Georgia at a chicken processing plant in 1977. The "no utensil" law bust be new since then but doesn't surprise me. I got picked up by local police 6 times in 4 months in 3 counties foe 3 different excuses. Never issued a ticket, arrested or charged. Just hassled. Great people, bitchy cops.
In Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It is against the law for anyone under the age of 18 years old to enter a donut shop. Back in the 80s when smoking was allowed everywhere, so it was outlawed for children under the age of 18 to enter a donut shop
Several places at times have made it illegal to die within a certain perimeter. In at least one case that law was made to highlight the fact that the local public(?) cemeteries were running out of room. As for beached whales becoming property of the ruling monarch - that would basically place the responsibility for removing the carcass on that monarch, using whatever means they feel are best suited for the job.
In Australia & USA you needed a MAN running in front of a motorized carnage waving a RED flag, so horses could be held down in control. This was only abolished in the late 1980's.
Some places have a law against drinking alcohol in public, unless a "special permit" is issued. So if I'm at a sidewalk cafe having a daiquiri, that's fine. But if I pick it up and take two steps, I'm a criminal. If the city is having a festival, there could be a thousand people gulping down beer after beer. But the guy walking down the sidewalk quaffing a brewski, oh no, we can't have that. I've had 20 years of formal education and had been practicing law for 10 years before I found out about this. It just never occurred to me that such silliness had been established.
Hi, my favorite law from my state, Massachusetts. As the head of your household, you have to bring a loaded rifle or musket to curch on Sunday. This is to prevent Indian raids
Whale blubber was boiled down to produce oil. Used for lamps, industry uses, perfumes, etc. whale hunting brought fortunes to many maritime ship owners.
. I lived in Florida for 27 years from 1974 until 2001. I forget the year but in the 1980's, They outlawed bumper stickers such as "Call 1-800-EAT-SHIT" for fear of corrupting little kids but, at the same time, it was perfectly legal to wear a "T" shirt, in public, saying, " BITE ME, BEAT ME, WHIP ME, FUCK ME." After that law was struck down on first amendment grounds, a man in Florida was stopped by a state cop for having a sticker on his pickup truck's back window that read, "I EAT ASS". The cop demanded that the guy scrape off the word "ASS" because the cop didn't want to have to explain to his kid, someday, what it meant. The guy refused and the cop arrested the guy for indecency. The charges were dropped, the guy got to keep his sticker intact and the cop got wrote up. If my kid asked what it meant, I would have told him that in the bible, another name for a donkey is "ass" and the guy must raise and eat donkey meat. The cop had better not get too close to that guy. The cop was the ASS and the guy might eat him.
Are you serious? Three times is too many? I take my dog out way more times than that. I even make her go outside when she doesn't want to. Unless you've taught your dog how to use a toilet, you need to take it out regularly.
My Dad was born during the depression. When he was young people gambled on pinball games. I would guess that’s why South Carolina has a law you must be 18 to play pinball. Old laws never changed. Memphis Tennessee still Gas an active law if you park on a hill you have to put a brick/rock behind your tires to keep the car from rolling down the hill. It’s not enforced at least.

Margarine.......one molecule away from plastic. I'll eat real butter anytime.

Oleomargarine is disgusting stuff that bares little resemblance to butter.

Az had that law thats why every one went to Vegas lol true 😮
Blood tests should still be required. Too many people lie about their health and diseases until after the vows

So let’s see - they allowed “idiots” to vote in 2016, and who was elected president that year? Can’t be a coincidence.

Winnie Pooh is a teddy bear and in the original drawings in the books, by H E Shepard, he doesn't have a red shirt, because that was added by Disney. The original real Winnie was a zoo bear, that the real Christopher Robin, son of A A Milne, named his Harrods teddy bear after. That teddy bear inspired his father's books. Those Polish officials are idiots, tiddily pom. 😆
I worked in Gainesville Georgia at a chicken processing plant in 1977. The "no utensil" law bust be new since then but doesn't surprise me. I got picked up by local police 6 times in 4 months in 3 counties foe 3 different excuses. Never issued a ticket, arrested or charged. Just hassled. Great people, bitchy cops.
In Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It is against the law for anyone under the age of 18 years old to enter a donut shop. Back in the 80s when smoking was allowed everywhere, so it was outlawed for children under the age of 18 to enter a donut shop
So, what are you in here for?
I died in Parliament.
In Dickensian England, a man would be barred from running an orphanage if he had a beard--a definite sign of moral turpitude!
I just love this sort of thing, here are so more
Hey Mike and co! Great vid, as I've come to expect. So, as a Victorian, I guess it's time to find some pirate mateys. That'll show 'em!
Several places at times have made it illegal to die within a certain perimeter. In at least one case that law was made to highlight the fact that the local public(?) cemeteries were running out of room.
As for beached whales becoming property of the ruling monarch - that would basically place the responsibility for removing the carcass on that monarch, using whatever means they feel are best suited for the job.
Go Mike go 🎉
what the heck these laws are so outrageous like who banns winnie the pooh
In Australia & USA you needed a MAN running in front of a motorized carnage waving a RED flag, so horses could be held down in control. This was only abolished in the late 1980's.
The movie Tommy, starring the music of The Who and Elton John features a song titled Pinball Wizard.
Super Troopers- who owns the water? No one owns the water. It's God's water lol
Some places have a law against drinking alcohol in public, unless a "special permit" is issued. So if I'm at a sidewalk cafe having a daiquiri, that's fine. But if I pick it up and take two steps, I'm a criminal. If the city is having a festival, there could be a thousand people gulping down beer after beer. But the guy walking down the sidewalk quaffing a brewski, oh no, we can't have that.
I've had 20 years of formal education and had been practicing law for 10 years before I found out about this. It just never occurred to me that such silliness had been established.
Hi, my favorite law from my state, Massachusetts. As the head of your household, you have to bring a loaded rifle or musket to curch on Sunday. This is to prevent Indian raids
For awhile in New Jersey, you couldn’t order sunny side up or over easy eggs. It didn’t last long
21: the whale could be used for lantern oil or feed for the hunting dogs or pigs. Plus humans at that time would eat whatever they could
yeah, it's not legal to die here, make sence when you are in Svalbard
Whale blubber was boiled down to produce oil. Used for lamps, industry uses, perfumes, etc. whale hunting brought fortunes to many maritime ship owners.
In Victoria, Australia it is a crime to fly a kite.
They used to make oil for lamps from whales
In Indiana you can't spit on the sidewalk

I lived in Florida for 27 years from 1974 until 2001. I forget the year but in the 1980's, They outlawed bumper stickers such as "Call 1-800-EAT-SHIT" for fear of corrupting little kids but, at the same time, it was perfectly legal to wear a "T" shirt, in public, saying, " BITE ME, BEAT ME, WHIP ME, FUCK ME."
After that law was struck down on first amendment grounds, a man in Florida was stopped by a state cop for having a sticker on his pickup truck's back window that read, "I EAT ASS". The cop demanded that the guy scrape off the word "ASS" because the cop didn't want to have to explain to his kid, someday, what it meant. The guy refused and the cop arrested the guy for indecency. The charges were dropped, the guy got to keep his sticker intact and the cop got wrote up. If my kid asked what it meant, I would have told him that in the bible, another name for a donkey is "ass" and the guy must raise and eat donkey meat. The cop had better not get too close to that guy. The cop was the ASS and the guy might eat him.
Are you serious? Three times is too many? I take my dog out way more times than that. I even make her go outside when she doesn't want to. Unless you've taught your dog how to use a toilet, you need to take it out regularly.
Did you know that Happy Birthday is copyright. and cant be sung without dues...look it up
The capital of Cambodia is "Phnom Penh"....
Plus, can the "Idiots can't vote" law also apply to owning a gun? Seems logical to me....
My Dad was born during the depression. When he was young people gambled on pinball games. I would guess that’s why South Carolina has a law you must be 18 to play pinball. Old laws never changed. Memphis Tennessee still
Gas an active law if you park on a hill you have to put a brick/rock behind your tires to keep the car from rolling down the hill. It’s not enforced at least.
It's against the law to walk backwards in downtown Oklahoma city while eating a hamburger.
