Theres no denying it: Wacky laws are everywhere. No state is immune to archaic rules and regulations, and some may be considered valid even if they dont make much sense. Since you wouldnt want to break the law while enjoying some R&R on your next family vacation spot, well educate you on some of the funnier (and stranger) of these oddball laws.

No Bear Wrasslin Here!

Are you heading to Alabama as your next family vacation destination? Then make sure youve curbed your appetite for bear wrestling, because its prohibited in the state.

If you buck the system and try to wrestle Smokey to the ground outside of one of the many Alabama resorts, youll be slapped with a lawsuit that says youve engaged in unlawful bear exploitation.

Rent the Car Just Dont Spew Spittle Out the Window

Car and bus rentals are fine in Marietta, Georgia, and they might make your Georgia fun family vacation much easier.

However, please make certain no one in your vehicle decides to spit out their window while you look at the beautiful scenery on your way to your Georgia lodging, as you could be fined. (FYI: If you need to spit, rent a truck instead. The law doesnt appear to cover those types of vehicles.)

Kids for Sale? Not Here!

Sure, your children might get on your nerves during your family beach vacation, but thats no reason to sell them. Besides, in Florida, trying to get money for your offspring is strictly against the law.

You Wouldnt Dare!

Delaware condominiums your dream? Once there, dont dare two persons to get married. The couple can actually file for an annulment if your dare was the main impetus for their vows.

Dont Bring the Wrong Kind of Trunk!

If Florida is your family vacation destination of choice, its best to leave your pet elephant at home. Should you decide to bring him or her with you, however, do take care not to tie him up at a parking meter unless youre prepared to pay for his stay in the parking place as though he were an automobile.

Braying Bath Time

Perhaps youre not the type to keep an elephant maybe youre a donkey lover instead. Just have an alternate plan for washing your braying buddy if youre staying in Georgia. Washing the four-footed friend in a bathtub is forbidden there.

Under the Boardwalk? Dont Disrobe!

Rehoboth Beach is a popular family vacation spot, but if youre there, dont change your clothes under the boardwalk. Although it might seem a natural decision, its a big no-no. In fact, you arent even supposed to remove your bathing suit in a public restroom. Do it in your hotel room instead.

Dominoes? Not Today!

Its Sunday and you want to play a game of dominoes while staying at your Alabama resort. But stop before you open that game board. This day of the week is dominoes-free. (Try Parcheesi instead.)

Bearded and Strapless? You May Be in Trouble!

Guys, as lovely as your strapless evening gowns might be, its illegal to wear them in public in Florida. Parade all around your Florida condo rooms if youd like; just dont let those beaded beauties be seen in a public forum.

I Scream, You Scream But We Cant Carry the Cone in Our Pockets Today

Finally, one state really takes the cake (and ice cream, too) for wackiest law on the books. In the Peach State, its perfectly dandy to carry an ice cream cone in your back pocket Monday through Saturday; yet dont try it on the Sabbath Day. Thats against the law.

Consequently, if youre dying for a cool treat as you lounge on a Sunday at your Florida accommodations, its probably wise to enjoy a fruity popsicle instead just to reduce the temptation. Alternatively, you could always wear pocket-less pants, thus eliminating the opportunities for such creamy criminal behavior.
