We've got good news! We're not the only nation in the world to ban the most ridiculous, and the most innocuous of things. There are many countries in the world with extremely stupid laws. We'd love to hear the stories behind these before they got implemented. Especially the story behind number 17. Read on!
1. A married woman is not allowed to have more than one glass of wine in La Paz, Bolivia.
wikipedia
Does it make sense: Does marriage, and drinking wine make sense? Nope.
2. Chewing gum in Singapore is illegal.

Does it make sense: Well, it does actually. Think about it from a cleanliness point of view. If you don't chew, what will you spit?
3. No sex on the steps of a church at night in Birmingham, Alabama.
wikipedia
Does it make sense: Before answering that, we'd like to know approximately how many times the priests caught couples having sex before putting their foot down and banning sex in front of the church. At night only. Because apparently it's all good during the day.
4. There is a ban on "noisy footwear" in Capri, Italy. So flip-flops and squeaky shoes are not allowed.

Does it make sense: NO!
5. There's a hot spring called 'Cuddle Puddle' in Swaziland. Make no mistake, it is ONLY meant for cuddling. No sex!
Wikipedia
This is not 'Cuddle Puddle'. This is just a cool hot spring.
Does it make sense: It does, in fact. Would you like to sit in a pool where people have just had sex? Thought so.
6. Men can't wear strapless gowns in public in Melbourne, Australia.

Does it make sense: Yes. Please don't wear strapless gowns.
7. A town in Alberta does not allow swearing, yelling and spitting.
Does it make sense: "Tu Roadie banega?"
8. There is a 415 Euro fine in Eboli, Italy, for kissing in a moving vehicle.
zastavki.com
Does it make sense: From a safety standpoint, it does.
9. You are NOT ALLOWED to make an ugly face at a dog in Oklahoma. You land up in jail for this.
wikipedia
Does it make sense: No. What if you don't have to make a face to look ugly?
10. Riding an ugly horse is off-limits in Wilbur, Washington.

Does it make sense: They are calling animals ugly. How insensitive. Where's PETA?
11. In Hartford, Connecticut, you are not allowed to teach any dog anything.
wikipedia
Does it make sense: No. I'm sure you don't want dogs to poop and pee everywhere.
12. You will be fined if you're caught winking at a woman in Ottumwa, Iowa.
Phantom films/ Tailormade films
Does it make sense: Debatable TBH.
13. You are not allowed to wear camouflage clothing in Barbados, unless you're in their defense or drug forces.
ourmode.ca
Does it make sense: No. I should be allowed to wear my favourite camouflage pants whenever I want.
14. If you're ice skating in Frankfurt, you better stay below the speed limit of 50 miles per hour.

Does it make sense: YES! You'll smash your face in, you fool!
15. It's illegal to fall asleep in a cheese factory in Ferrara, Italy.
wikipedia.com
Does it make sense: Nobody wants to sleep on their job. Okay, everyone does, but making it illegal is a bit too harsh, innit?
16. In Florida, a woman is only allowed to skydive on a Sunday if she's married.
DVIDSHUB/flickr
Does it make sense: No. What do skydiving, married woman, and Sunday have in common? Nothing!
17. In Iran, it is legal to have sex with domesticated animals, but you're definitely not allowed to have sex with wild animals.
Wikipedia
Does it make sense: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
DING!
