1. It is illegal to inhale bus fumes with the intent of inducing euphoria. (New Hampshire)

2. It is illegal to operate a surfboard while on a hallucinogen. (Washington, DC)

3. It is illegal to sip your beer more than three consecutive times while standing. (Texas)

4. People in possession of illegal substances must pay taxes on them. (North Carolina)

5. It is illegal to give lighted cigars to dogs, cats and other domesticated animals. (Zion, Illinois)

6. No man may purchase alcohol without written permission from his wife. (Newtown, Pennsylvania)

7. It is illegal to sell laughing gas with the intent to induce laughter. (Indiana)

While we were in college, my ex-wife (fiancee, at the time) was arrested in Sunbury, Pennsylvania, for clerking in a store that was open on Sunday in violation of the blue laws. Yes, I married a woman with a record.

Was the rider committing an illegal act by being on the horse in a stupor, or was the horse the drunk?
