Maine

If you live here and your Christmas decorations are still up, get them down RIGHT NOW because it's illegal to have them still on display after January 14th.

Ohio

Here, it is against the law to get a fish drunk. So, if you were planning on getting boozy with your prize Koi this weekend, you'd better cancel.

Washington

If you come across Bigfoot, a Sasquatch or any other undiscovered species while out for a walk here, you'd better not harass it, as it's prohibited by law.

Arizona

Donkeys aren't permitted to sleep in bathtubs in this state. Washing your ass is still allowed, however.

Texas

Got a spare eyeball hanging about? You can't sell it, unfortunately. The law says so.

Virginia

A weird law here prohibits children from going trick-or-treating on Halloween.

Louisiana

It is illegal to send pizza to someone else's house without their knowledge. You can genuinely be fined up to $500 for doing so.

Arkansas

In this state, it's against the law to mispronounce "Arkansas".

Maryland

If it's a sunny day in Maryland, watch out; you could be fined $10 if you're caught in a park with a sleeveless shirt.

Utah

Vegans and lactose-intolerant folks, listen up: it's illegal for you NOT to drink milk in this state.

New York

If you're reading this after 10 pm and you're wearing slippers, then you are in violation of the law, pal.

Georgia

Here, it's against the law to have an ice cream cone in your back pocket. But only on Sundays. Between Monday and Saturday, you can get soft scoop on your pants all you want.

Colorado

Do you like drinking? And riding a horse? Well, too bad buddy, because you can't do both at once. (This law is actually quite sensible. Well done, Colorado).

Florida

For all you elephant-owners in the sunshine state, make sure you've got some change when you take it to the shops, as you'll have to pay to "park" it.

Mississippi 

Here, it is illegal to use profane language while out in public.

North Dakota

Guys, no matter how tired you are, do not - I repeat, do not - fall asleep with your shoes on in this state.
