Actual laws In New York state...the way Mayor Bloomberg is I wonder if he knows about these...
1-A fine of $25 can be levied for flirting. This old law specifically prohibits men from turning around on any city street and looking "at a woman in that way." A second conviction for a crime of this magnitude calls for the violating male to be forced to wear a "pair of horse-blinders" wherever and whenever he goes outside for a stroll.
2-It is against the law to throw a ball at someone's head for fun.
3-A license must be purchased before hanging clothes on a clothesline.
4-The penalty for jumping off a building is death.
5-In New York City, it is illegal for a woman to be on the street wearing "body hugging clothing."
6-In Staten Island, it is illegal for a father to call his son a "f****t" or "queer" in an effort to curb "girlie behavior."
7- In New York City, "It is disorderly conduct for one man to greet another on the street by placing the end of his thumb against the tip of his nose, at the same time extending and wiggling the fingers of his hand."
8-A person may not walk around on Sundays with an ice cream cone in his/her pocket.
9-While riding in an elevator, one must talk to no one, and fold his hands while looking toward the door.
10-Slippers are not to be worn after 10:00 P.M.
