Regulation Roundup

Here’s a fresh batch of regulatory bloopers:

• Flirting is illegal in Haddon, New Jersey. (see § 175-12)
• It is illegal to play cards on the street in Madison, Iowa.
• In Haverbill, Massachusetts, it is illegal for women to wrestle.
• It is a felony for bears to wrestle in Alabama.
• You may now sit outside year-round in Stratford, Connecticut, if you like.
• Talk about attention to detail. Massachusetts state law requires gift certificates to be valid for at least 7 years.
• In Florida, it is illegal to release 11 helium balloons per day. Ten is ok, though.
• Adams County, Colorado, requires all male massage parlor workers to wear white shirts and white pants. Transparent clothing is expressly forbidden.
