How can you break laws you never knew existed?

It happens all the time. Especially, if you're from Iowa.

There are laws I have never even heard of before. I am convinced, some laws shouldn't be laws at all. Mind you, they are still enforceable because they are a law. Does that mean they will be enforced? Not necessarily, but can we afford to take any chances?  Certainly not.

Here are 8 of the dumbest laws you've already broken in Iowa.

1. A man with a moustache may never kiss a woman in public.

Given beards and handle bars are back in style, I am pretty sure whomever made this law, owned a lot of razors and likely banned school dances.

2. One-armed piano players must perform for free.

Hello, discriminatory!? I can't even on this one. Simply ridiculous. It should be removed immediately.

3. Kisses may last for no more than 5 minutes.

It makes me want to go the town the law originated in and kiss for six minutes, just because. Or maybe ten. I have to say, I do love long kisses. It's a lost art form that should be resurrected.

4. It is a violation of the law to sell or distribute drugs or narcotics without having first obtained the appropriate Iowa drug tax stamp.

Now here's one for Captain Obvious in the 'busted before busted' place dumb criminals roam. If someone trying to break the law, first tried to abide by it, they get what they deserve.

5. Tanning bed facilities must warn of the risk of getting a sunburn.

Everyone I've ever been to does. Another one for Captain Obvious.

6. In Bettendorf, liquor stores may not place advertisements for beer outside the store.

Hey, everyone! Come to this place to get beer even though you may not know exactly that we have beer because we are not allowed to show you on the outside. That, and it is called a 'liquor store.' Which brings to question, 'have there ever been liquor stores that only sell liquor and not beer?'  Hmm.

7. In Cedar Rapids, it's illegal to read a person's palms within city limits.

That's right you evil-fire-devil-temptors/temptresses! Out with you, they say, out with you! What if you're getting help on the street picking a thorn from your rose bushes out of your hands? Are you at-risk for being arrested?

8. In Fort Madison, the fire department is required to practice fire fighting for fifteen minutes before attending a fire.

Uhm. Never mind that your house is burning down and time really counts on this one. 'Ma'am, we gotta go practice first.'
