Some rules were meant to be broken.

According to a quiz at AOL.com…

In San Francisco, all public vehicles need be outfitted with spittoons. The law covers not only cable cars and buses, but trolleys, taxis and police cars as well. City officials may be prosecuted if the law is violated.

Tossing a banana peel on the street is illegal in Waco, Texas, because a horse could slip on it and fall.

The pedestrian is the one fined if he or she is hit by a car. So be on the lookout when you're crossing a street in Virginia!

A woman's hair is the property of her husband once she marries in Michigan.

In Eureka, Nevada, it is illegal for a man with a mustache to kiss a woman.

Passengers in Connecticut can collect $25 from the railroad company if they are delayed more than five minutes on a standing train.

You can't tie your giraffe to a telephone pole or a street lamp in Atlanta or you will be cited.

Don't slurp your soup in a public place in the Garden State. NJ is so concerned with your table manners that this is an illegal act.

When you feel the need to have an outburst in Missouri, make sure it's not in a church. Any member of the congregation can place you under arrest.

Make sure you eat before you go to a funeral in Massachusetts, as it's illegal for any mourner to eat more than three sandwiches at a wake.

Good luck finding someone to show you a car on Sunday afternoon in Colorado. It's illegal for dealers to show cars on that day.

It's illegal to view Moose from an aircraft in Alaska. And if you happen to have a live moose on your flight, don't throw it out of the moving plane. That's illegal too.

It's illegal to take a bite out of anyone's hamburger in Oklahoma.

Better start shaking hands and kissing babies, because if you're a member of Georgia's general assembly, you can't get nabbed for speeding while assembly is in session.

Sleeping nude is illegal in Minnesota.

In New Orleans, fire trucks are required to stop at every red light.

You best make sure that your bar has a kettle of soup on if you're serving beer in Nebraska.

Texas treats stand-up sipping the way Massachusetts treats sandwiches at a funeral. Take more than three sips of that beer and you've broken the law!

If you want to give your sweetheart a box of candy, you have to give 50 lbs worth to stay within Idaho law.

Until you are 18, you cannot legally smoke or vote, or play pinball in South Carolina.
