Unsuspecting people fall foul of dotty directives all over the world. In fact, there should be a law against this sort of thing! 8 of the weirdest laws are: (Photo not found) 1. SKY'S THE LIMIT A law in Florida bans single, divorced or widowed women from doing a parachute jump on a Sunday. Sky-diving women face a fine or even jail for defying the barmy rule. (Photo not found) 2. DOGGONE In Oklahoma you can still be fined or even jailed for making ugly faces at a dog. It s not clear why the offence ever got on the statute books - or why you can still get your collar felt for baring your teeth at a pitbull. But the state has some other pretty weird rules.. It s against the law to read a comic book while operating a motor vehicle and illegal for the owner of a bar to allow anyone inside to talk about having sex with a buffalo. (Photo not found) 3. FLIPPING CRAZY Two tourists in Capri, Italy, were arrested recently for wearing excessively loud flip-flops. It followed a new ban on noisy footwear, which was one of a series of bizarre laws introduced by mayors across Italy to protect public security. A couple in Milan were fined £100 each for breaching public decorum by sitting on the steps of a statue. And the mayor of Eraclea, near Venice, has banned sandcastle building and shell collecting, imposing fines that range from £20 to £200 for the offences. (Photo not found) 4. FACE LIKE A HORSE In Wilbur, Washington, it is illegal to ride an ugly horse in public on pain of a £185 fine. (Photo not found) 5. STEP TOO FAR Under a centuries-old law, couples in Birmingham, Alabama, can be fined for disorderly conduct if they have sex on the steps of any church after the sun goes down. But the law says nothing about getting intimate in daylight. (Photo not found) 6. BLINKING BARMY In Ottumwa, Iowa, men are banned from winking at women they don t know while they are within the city limits. (Photo not found) 7. CHEESED OFF It is an offence for workers in Ferrara, northern Italy, to fall asleep in a cheese factory. Locals are so passionate about their product they also made it illegal for women of ill-repute or evil looks to enter the factory in case they sour the milk. (Photo not found) 8. SHORT SHRIFT If you're going on holiday to Barbados it s best to leave your Army-style khaki shorts at home. It s illegal to wear any camouflage items on the island - unless you're a member of Barbados drug and defence forces. If not, you could receive a hefty fine.
