Sagging Pants and Funny Laws

A country town in the US bans wearing low hanging, sagging pants - high time some would say. The new indecent exposure ordinance in Delcambre Town , Louisiana of about 2,000 carries penalties of up to six months in jail and a $500 fine for being caught in pants that show undergarments. While they are at it, we could suggest similar bans on some aspects of today's popular culture, like Rap Music, it is not music for heaven's sake, it is just talking fast. Wearing caps the wrong side, what purpose does it serve to wear the cap the other way, I don't know, probably I am getting old. Also, wonder if there could be a law to ban TR from acting and ban Cheran's hairstylist.
There are many stupid laws across the world and of course US would lead the way. I have given below some that I found interesting (you know that I am at home these days).
"No vehicle without a driver may exceed 60 miles per hour". In their defense, very futuristic I say. "Sunshine is guaranteed to the masses". By the law, you understand. Of course this is at Calif , but still!
"Detonating a nuclear device within the city limits results in a $500 fine".
Wonder who will be left behind to collect the fine!
In the city of Eureka : "A man with a moustache may not kiss a woman". That is some place I am not going to visit, ever.
"You cannot bathe two babies in the same tub at the same time". No comments, enough to say that this is at LA.
"It is illegal for hens to lay eggs before 8 AM and after 4 PM". How the hell will they enforce this? Who is going to monitor? And above all, what is the point?
This is something that I would have voted in favor, "A man can't go outside while wearing a jacket and pants that do not match".
