Massachusetts' Strangest Laws Still On The Books

We have heard of crazy laws for each state. For example, in New Hampshire, you can't collect seaweed from the beach at night. Weird, right? Massachusetts has even more laws that you just won't believe are actually real, but they are, according to worldpopulationreview.com.

You won't believe what Massachusetts says about riding in the car with Gorillas. That's further down.

It's Illegal to Scare Pigeons in Massachusetts

If you see a kid chasing a pigeon around Boston Common, you can call the coppers, cuz it's illegal. That's not even the weirdest one!

You can not play the fiddle in Boston. Obviously, they don't enforce this one. Have you seen the number of Irish pubs in Boston? They play live music sometimes, including the fiddle.

Another crazy law specific to Boston, it's illegal to take a bath unless your doctor orders it. We are all so glad that they don't enforce that one.

If you go to a wake and you are hungry, watch yourself. You can't eat more than three sandwiches when you're there.

If you live in Holyoke and it's raining and you want to water your lawn, first of all, why? Secondly, you can't do it because it's illegal.

Facial hair, apparently, is subject to rules. In Massachusetts, you have to have a license to wear a goatee. I've heard this is just an urban legend tho, so if you have a goatee in MA, you can relax.

Watch out if you are hungry in church. You can not eat peanuts in church. If you get caught, you could be jailed for a year.

This one I totally agree with. It's illegal to put tomatoes in clam chowder. I don't even know what that is.

There's a law about keeping a mule on the second floor in a city. It's confusing, but let's just say you can't keep a mule on the 2nd floor, ever. Weird.

In Longmeadow, don't you even think about carrying that bathtub across the green. It's illegal.

Ever want to draw on your milk carton? Don't do it. Defacing a milk carton means you pay up a $10 fine.
