1. In Alabama, it is illegal to wear a fake mustache that causes laughter in church.
2. In California, it is illegal to shoot at any kind of game from a moving vehicle … unless the target is a whale.
3. In Florida, if an elephant is left tied to a parking meter, the parking fee has to be paid just as it would for a vehicle.
4. In Nebraska, it is illegal for bar owners to sell beer unless they are simultaneously brewing a kettle of soup.
5. In Texas, a law requires criminals to give their victims 24 hours notice, either orally or in writing, and explain the nature of the crime to be committed.

Note: some of these laws might not be in effect anymore.
