    There's no way some of those are true. If it was against the law to possess pliers in Texas, you wouldn't be able to buy them at your local hardware store.

    I heard of the pliers law before. I though it was against the law to carry them in your back pocket. It's a cattle rustler thing...

    Kind of misleading. There are certain places where you're not allowed to chew gum ( or eat or drink) but you are allowed to in most places. These laws are there to prevent littering and such.

    As a CC resident and former city attorney, 2 notes:

    (1) The prohibited animals list does include alligators. It also includes wolves, pit vipers, eagles, bears, and other dangerous animals. I would suspect most cities have a similar ordinance.

    (2) Nice spelling, genius.

    know what's crazy? apparently it's illegal to tackle someone and try to punch them in the face if some other dude throws beer in your face. when i pass the bar, i'll be changing that one and will try to pass another one of those laws called the "celebrity exemption" law.

    I thought that one law about Galveston and the camels said it was also illegal to tie your camels to a post on the street.... Maybe I'm mistaken...

    And what about that one that in Arkansas, it's illegal to mispronounce the state name?
