19. In Ohio, it is against state law to get a fish drunk. [ed...obviously someone has tried this or we wouldn't call it "drinking like a fish"]

Considering that a "piss pot" is a chamber pot and a general insult...who can figure out these bloody British anyway?]
...
8. In Kentucky, it is illegal to carry a concealed weapon more than six-feet long.[ed...and you would conceal that...where?]
...
4. In Vermont, women must obtain written permission from their husbands to wear false teeth.[ed...I can only speculate in a way reminiscent of Genghis Ace and Rita-matic fueled Castle Parties why such permission would be necessary.]
...
3. In London, it is illegal to flag down a taxi if you have the plague.
