Rhode Island
"Riding a horse over any public highway for the purpose of racing, or testing the speed of the horse is illegal. Penalty: Maximum $20 fine and imprisonment for 10 days."
Love it. I can already picture why this law was made and it cracks me up. Let's say you have a horse that you think is really fast and you are too stupid to realize that you could figure it out with a stopwatch. Now, what would be your first idea to figuring out how fast your horse might be? You probably said, "Let's get drunk and race it against your truck and check the speedometer when it hits its top speed". When that failed, your next thought was probably, "I know, we could take it to one of those 'Check Your Speed' things that cops set up every once in awhile". Genius. Now, just imagine when a police car happened upon that. He either wanted to find out if this stupid plan would work or he started arresting people. Unfortunately for us, he probably started arresting people and that is why this law exists. Keep on drinking, Rhode Island, you are creating pure gold.
