  • Robert

    Only in Ca. The land of the fruits and nuts.

  • Edddddy

    For CA. that is normal.

  • B-4-Reality

    I had to leave California — to many wingnuts! But, hey I’m in Illinois now – and their are too many unions!

  • BillinCA

    Every state in the union has dumb laws on their books, so it’s not a California thing. Every law has a reason, even though, they sound dumb on the surface. If I remember correctly, licking a toad law is due to the toad’s “slime” acts like a drug, I could be wrong though. But, I do have to admit, the above laws sound pretty bad and dumb.

    some of these are practical but most r just too obsurd. how long have these all been on the books. How do we get them changed?

  • Millicent Bulstrode

    Do you want people showing their butts at play grounds? Do you want to sit in a bar with everybody who just got back from the lake bringing their stringer of fish in when they come in for a beer. Portola is a little town with lots of fishing. Some cities don’t want more unwanted dogs and cats being born and ending up at the animal shelter. I can’t even read the rest of your lame list.

  • Janice

    #14. It’s CHICO, not Chino. Do your homework. Get it right. Sheesh..

  • Seymour Butts

    Wendy, don’t you like a good spanking every now and then?? ;)

  • Jim Duncan

    If you have ever lived next door to a rooster in town that start crowing at 3-4 in the morning you would under stand why they ar illegal inside many towns. Murder prevention for both the rooster and owner. I’d have to ki.. both of them.

  • Sid

    When all you have to fix problems in California is the legislature every solution is a law.
