You Can't Do That...

I found a funny list of dumb Tennessee laws.

• "Crimes against nature" are prohibited.
• Driving is not to be done while asleep.
• Dyersburg: It is illegal for a woman to call a man for a date.
• Fayette County: You may not have more than five inoperable vehicles on a piece of property.
• Hollow logs may not be sold.
• In Jonesboro, Tenn., a slingshot used to be classified by law as a deadly weapon.
• In Memphis, it is illegal for a woman to drive a car unless there is a man either running or walking in front of it, waving a red flag to warn approaching motorists and pedestrians.
• It is illegal to catch a fish with a lasso.
• It's illegal for frogs to croak after 11 PM.
• Knoxville: In front of their buildings, all businesses must have a "hitching post."
• Lenoir City: When you pull up to a stop sign you must fire a gun out the window to warn horse carriages that you are coming.
• Lexington: No one may eat ice cream on the sidewalk. Spitting on the sidewalk is prohibited.
• Panhandlers must first obtain a $10 permit before begging on the streets of downtown Memphis.
• It is illegal to give any pie to fellow diners. It is also illegal to take unfinished pie home. All pie must be eaten on the premises.
• More than 8 women may not live in the same house because that would constitute a brothel.
• Stealing a horse is punishable by hanging.
• The age of consent is 16, but 12 if the girl is a virgin.
• You can't shoot any game other than whales from a moving automobile.
• Oneida: An ordinance forbids anyone to sing the song "It Ain't Goin' To Rain No Mo'."
• It is legal to gather and consume road kill
Update: Per Karen, this is no longer a law. So eat up!
