Stupid State Laws - Arizona 6

Here comes another post about a state law that still exists on the books and why it is ridiculous (to see them all, click here):

Arizona

"It is unlawful to refuse a person a glass of water."

This doesn't seem so bad.  A little neighborly hospitality is a good thing, right?  However, what happens if some hobo wanders into your home and demands a glass of water and you don't have a glass?  Or your running water is broken?  What then?  Well, according to this law, you are going to jail, that's what.  Or what if there is a drought and water is scarce and you have to ration your water and only have enough for you and your loved ones?  Is it still unlawful?  Damn it, Arizona, you really need to think things through before you go all willy-nilly with your stupid laws.

"Well rookie, everything checks out.  He offered him water and we'll let it slide that he used a beaker."
"Sarge, I'm fairly sure that isn't water, water doesn't fume like that."
"Shut up rookie, it's clear, therefore it's water.  Let's go get a doughnut."
