Stupid State Laws - Florida

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) and just so you know, Florida is littered with hilarious laws, so we will be revisiting this state a few more times:

Florida

"If an elephant is left tied to a parking meter, the parking fee has to be paid just as it would for a vehicle."

Interesting.  Very interesting.  So, let me get this straight, some guy (maybe a gal) rode or walked their elephant to a populated enough part of Florida that they have parking meters, then they tied their elephant to a parking meter and didn't put any coins into said parking meter and another guy (or maybe a gal) had a problem with this?  Why?  How could the offended party get that upset over the elephant owner getting away without paying for parking for a freaking elephant that they complained to their local government official?  Did the elephant poop on his (or her) car?  Did this person own stock in parking meters?  Or are their just a ton of people in Florida who own elephants instead of cars and they flaunt parking meters all the time?  There is absolutely nothing about this law that makes sense unless their is a secret town of elephant owning people that we don't know about.

"Would they rather the elephants not be tied up and run around destroying stuff?  I feel like collecting a couple quarters  is worth not making such a stupid law."
