    It it illegal to sleep on top of a refrigerator outdoors.

    Any motorist driving along a country road at night must stop every mile and send up a rocket signal, wait 10 minutes for the road to be cleared of livestock, and continue.
    Any motorist who sights a team of horses coming toward him must pull well off the road, cover his car with a blanket or canvas that blends with the countryside, and let the horses pass.


    I actually already knew of the last 2. They stem from the early 20th century when automobiles were new and would pose a problem spooking the horses being used by the significant numbers of Amish people living in the state.

      But you're pretty much right. It's the license plate thing that deters people. Makes you pretty damn easy to track down if you drive off.
      Seems like a pain in the *** for businesses.

          Minnesota is not a reasonable state, those idiots elected a ex pro wrestler governor, and hey cut holes in ice and fish in the middle of winter. Bunch of morons up that way.

                      Could be greed. Accidentally pumping in say 20.01 or something is fairly common. I'm sure all those extra pennies add up.

                          Decent people like not being treated like criminals? Maybe just a case of not fixing what isn't broken. Hell if I know.

                          The busiest stations in Sioux Falls have been changing their policies over the last few years though.

                            It is illegal to sell one's eye.

                            A recently passed anticrime law requires criminals to give their victims 24 hours notice, either orally or in writing, and to explain the nature of the crime to be committed.

                            It is illegal for children to have unusual haircuts.
