Welcome to Part 10 of our never-ending legal comedy tour, where we bring you another batch of America’s most head-scratching, side-splitting laws. From airborne moose to outlawed wrestling fakery, these laws prove that when it comes to legislation, the U.S. really knows how to keep it weird.

Alaska: No Moose Tossing Allowed—Seriously

In Alaska, it’s illegal to push a live moose out of a moving airplane. And yes, that sentence is as real as it is ridiculous. Somewhere, somehow, this must have happened enough for lawmakers to step in and say, “This moose madness must stop!” So if you’re flying the friendly skies over Alaska, keep your moose inside the cabin—and don’t even think about opening that door.

Alabama: Ice Cream + Back Pocket = Criminal Intent

In Alabama, it’s illegal to have an ice cream cone in your back pocket at any time. This old law apparently stems from horse theft prevention—yes, really. Thieves would lure horses away with a back-pocket cone, avoiding a “theft” charge since they never technically led the horse. But in modern times, it’s just a sticky way to get arrested and ruin your pants. Keep your desserts where they belong—in your hands, not your Levi’s.

Wisconsin: Home Is Where the Heart Is—Literally

In Wisconsin, you can legally marry your house. That’s right—commitment is no joke in the Badger State, even if your partner is made of bricks and drywall. Whether it’s a quirky loophole or the result of someone loving their bungalow a little too much, the law stands. Just remember: if the roof starts leaking, that’s not a repair—it’s marital counseling.

Washington: No Fake Wrestling—Only the Real Smackdown

Washington State bans fake wrestling. So if you’re planning to stage a choreographed body slam with your buddies in a backyard ring, better take it elsewhere. Only genuine grappling is allowed here, folks. This means Washington may be the only state where calling a match “scripted” is grounds for legal action. In short: no acting, no drama, just pure, unscripted suplexes.

Oklahoma: Comics + Driving = Danger Zone

Oklahoma law makes it illegal to read a comic book while operating a motor vehicle. Honestly, fair enough—because while Spider-Man might save lives, trying to read about him while doing 60 on the freeway won’t. So save your Batman binge for a full stop, and remember: no matter how thrilling the plot, your windshield is the only panel that matters when you’re behind the wheel.

Legal Laughter That Keeps on Coming

From forbidden frozen treats to law-abiding moose flights, these bizarre laws are proof that the line between reality and absurdity is thinner than a wrestling ring rope. Stay tuned for more—because in America, you never know when loving your house or wearing a sundae will suddenly make you an outlaw.
