It Is Illegal For A Moose To Enter A Saloon Via The Sidewalk
Fairbanks, Alaska
It is illegal for a moose to enter a bar through the sidewalk in Fairbanks, Alaska. The law was passed during the early 20th century because a tavern owner was fond of getting his pet moose drunk. The intoxicated moose often went on rampages, destroying property.
City officials soon had enough and passed a law banning moose from public sidewalks, thus meaning that the moose in question could no longer get into the man’s saloon. The tavern owner stopped bringing his moose to his bar but still got it drunk in his home. It is unknown why the town couldn’t simply outlaw getting moose drunk.
I reckon that even a moose needs a stiff drink once in a while, right?
Coffee out on the patio this morning. Sunshine is on the menu.
Well if I'm ever in Alaska, I'll be sure to only hang out with a sober moose:))
ReplyDeleteI have heard of some silly laws. This one ranks right up there with the best. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteHere's another silly law...it is unlawful in Gainesville, GA to eat fried chicken with a knife and fork.

Hey Linda...
The books are filled with so many laws of this nature. Time to weed them out, I think.
Thanks for coming over today!
Hey Momlay...
Now that is a strange law indeed, although I can't see why anyone would want to do that anyway!
Thanks for the visit this morning!
Silly law for sure, like you said why not just make a law against getting moose drunk.
ReplyDeleteLooks like we are having some nice weather now. See you on the patio.
