Contrary to what you may have believed, stupidity is present even amongst the greater people of society. Not only today, but especially a couple of hundred years ago, some of the strange, random laws passed in Nebraska are a prime example of this. Not all of the laws are believed to be true, but they sure are entertaining, and also a bit questionable. The following are 8 weird laws in Nebraska. Use them to your advantage, or maybe just share them for a few laughs and eyebrow raises.
1. Doughnut holes may not be sold in the city of Leigh.
Doughnut sell any of these tasty snacks or you could get yourself in some trouble with the law.
2. Sneezing or burping is illegal during a church service in the city of Omaha.
Sneezing or burping may result in some piercing eyes glaring achoo, so be careful repressing your bodily functions that you don’t have full control over.
3. People with gonorrhea aren’t allowed to get married.
Sorry infected humans. According to this law, your chances of getting married are gonorrhea.
4. Whale fishing is illegal.
It seems as if no one will get into any trouble with this one, based off of the mere fact that, whale, there are no whales here.
5. Having false teeth created from leather is illegal.
We can just leave the fake-teeth-making to the professionals with great wisdom, on this one here.
6. Barbers are forbidden from shaving chest hair in the city Omaha.
Sorry guys (and potentially girls); it looks like you’ll have to go back home to maintain your hairy business.
7. It is illegal for a mother to give her daughter a perm without a state license.
This law may, in fact, be better for every daughter in the long-perm. They might want to thank whoever passed this strange law.
8. It’s illegal to fly a plane while drunk.
Not that any of you were plane-ing on doing this, just be aware that flying a plane drunk could maybe, just maybe, land you in a pair of handcuffs.

Did you know that biting someone’s arm off is illegal in Rhode Island? And also teachers can’t talk to students about hand-holding in Tennessee.

the dumbest law as of late is the mask required by the omaha city council. You heard the saying trying to stop a dust storm with a chain link fence. Go out to eat if you want to see how stupid this law is. Try sitting by the door then just watch.
