Stupid State Laws - Minnesota

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):

Minnesota

"Citizens may not enter Wisconsin with a chicken on their head."
and
"A person may not cross state lines with a duck atop his head."

I had to include both of those laws because they are so similar and because they are both equally ridiculous.  I guess the first question is - why would anyone want or need to walk around with a duck or chicken on their head?  Was that an old-timey fashion statement that thankfully didn't catch on?  Seriously, what in the hell would possess someone to think "Hey, you know what would work better than a hat?  A duck!"?  On top of that, how do you even get the chicken or duck to stay up there?  It's not like it's the flattest of surfaces and you will be walking around so it will be next to impossible for it to sit still without ripping out half of your hair.  In fact, I think the state of Minnesota was on to something.  They said to themselves "This stupidity of people with ducks on their heads has to stop, let's make a law that you can't do it anymore in our great state".  I applaud you, Minnesota.

"Now go forth in the world, new graduate of Duck on your Head University.  And remember to always wear this duck on your head.....except in Minnesota, they are our sworn enemies and will throw you in jail just for our beliefs."
