You could face up to six months in jail and a fine of $2,500 if you spit publicly in Goodyear, Arizona.

There is a legal code instituted in Arkansas that explains how the state’s name should, and shouldn’t, be pronounced. While you probably won’t get fined for pronouncing the last “s” in the state’s name, it is technically illegal to mispronounce it while in “Ar-kan-saw.”

It might seem like a nice thing to do, but it’s illegal. In the city of Los Angeles, you can’t wash your neighbor’s car without their permission. However, you can make a right turn on a red light, so Los Angeles is still a great place to live.

You may have heard that cleanliness is next to godliness, but not when it comes to lending your neighbor a vacuum. It is currently against the law to do so in Denver, Colorado. Plus, there are hidden dangers of spring cleaning!

If your pickle doesn’t bounce, then it can’t legally be called a pickle in Connecticut. Hopefully they haven’t outlawed the 5-second rule for when it inevitably falls on the floor!

Halloween is particularly strict in Delaware. To prevent mischievous actions by youngsters on October 31, children can only go trick-or-treating between 6 and 8 p.m. Oh, and if the 31st falls on a Sunday, the trick-or-treating will take place the night before, also from 6 to 8 p.m. Hopefully the earlier hours means families will show up in adorable family costumes!

Pocatello, Idaho, is not the place to go if you lack a sunshine-y demeanor. It is against the law to be seen in public without a smile.

Bad news, men in Iowa who celebrate Movember. It’s against the law to kiss a woman in public if you have a mustache. Shave it if you want some sugar!

In Kansas, you would be breaking the law should you sing the alphabet at night out on the street. The idea behind this one is not directly related to the alphabet, but to any potentially loud disturbances late at night.

There are very specific rules for dyeing and selling live ducks in Kentucky. The law extends to dyeing any live baby chicks, duckling, other fowl, or rabbits, and the illegality of selling them in groups smaller than six. Violating this rule can land you a fine of $100 to $500.

The difference between the two comes down to whether you use your natural teeth or false teeth, respectively.

The only lion you should see before a film is in the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer logo, and Maryland knows this. The state has made it illegal to bring a lion to a movie. Hopefully the lions aren't going to other places like restaurants or malls. That might make Maryland one of the most dangerous states in America!

If you want to play “folf” (or “Frisbee golf”) in Helena, Montana, you must play it on the designated “folf course.” What is folf exactly? It follows the same idea as golf — just as golfers have to make it into the hole with as few strokes as possible, folfers aim to sink their disc into the hole with the lowest number of throws. Folfing and golfing actually burn a ton of calories. 

This crazy Nebraska law is also perfect if you’re hungry and thirsty. It’s illegal to serve beer without brewing a kettle of soup at the same time in this heartland state.

Although it’s no longer practiced or enforced, the old Nevada law making it legal to hang someone for killing your dog on your property is still on the books, even if the dog attacked you first. This is one of those weird laws lingering from the days of the Wild West.

It’s illegal to sing only a portion of the national anthem or the New Mexico state song, “Oh Fair New Mexico.” So if you’re singing either, finish strong!

New Yorkers love to break the law! You can technically be fined up to $25 for flirting in New York. It’s unclear exactly what this law defines as “flirting,” but some believe it has more to do with the act of soliciting, not just batting your lashes and asking, “Have you been working out?”

It’s illegal to catch a fish by any body part except the mouth in this state.

There’s an interesting law in Rhode Island that defines the legality of biting off your friend’s limbs.

However, if it’s an accidental mutilation you won’t face any punishment.

It’s illegal to get a tattoo in South Carolina, except somehow there are still tattoo parlors.

You must bathe every Saturday night in Barre, Vermont. They allow claw-foot tubs too, so who wouldn’t want to!

The most bizarre law in Washington states that any “motorist with criminal intentions [must] stop at the city limits and telephone the police as he is entering the town.” If only all criminals did this, it would make arresting them so much easier.

If you see roadkill in West Virginia, it is completely legal to take it home and cook it for supper. This law was created to help clean the streets and decrease the amount spent on road maintenance, but the health factor seems questionable.

It's the best museum in Wyoming and one of the fun indoor places you can check out if it's too cold or rainy outside.
