I’ve heard that there are a lot of crazy laws in America. For example, I read on a website that in Oklahoma, taking a bite of someone else’s hamburger is illegal! Can you give us some examples of some crazy laws like that?
我听说在美国有许多疯狂的法律。比如,我曾经在某个网站上看到,在俄克拉荷马州,咬一口别人的汉堡居然是非法的!还有其他类似的吗?
there are plenty! For example In the state of Georgia, you can’t keep ice cream in your back pocket on Sundays.

And in the great state of and my home Alabama. According to Code Section 13A-12-5, persons shall not engage in bear wrestling. I find it hard to follow this law in particular.

Don’t you think these laws are stupid? Do American’s really like these kinds of laws.

You have to realize that a lot of these laws were made more than 100 years ago and repealing 4 a law if more of a pain in the ass 5 than passing one. So, today, they’re ignored and aren't really enforced. Except the one about the bear wresting 6, that one was made in 2006 and they actually enforce it.
