Weird Laws
Alabama: No stink bombs or confetti
If you're a stodgy school principal from a 1980s film, consider moving to Mobile, Alabama: Stink bombs, "funk balls," and any object "the purpose of which is to create disagreeable odors" are strictly illegal there. Also illegal: “spray string,” confetti, and bathing in public fountains. Think you're innocent? You're probably breaking one of these real marriage laws right now.
