There’s a long list of weird illegalities in the United States. There’s “Boogers may not be flicked into the wind” in Alabama, “It is illegal to spit, except on baseball diamonds” in California, and man, there’s even “It is illegal to get a fish drunk.” in Ohio.
If you agree those are just batshit crazy, then prepare to practice your facepalms because on the other side of those crazy illegal laws are the equally crazy legal laws in America. Here are 20 of them:
1. In West Virginia, it is completely legal to text and drive if you possess a full license.
