My family and I recently returned from a trip to Alaska. For a brief few days we traded the heat of our southern home for the colder climates of Alaska. We spent two beautiful days touring Alaska. Apparently, we brought some of our warm weather with us because the local inhabitants raved about how nice the weather had become upon our arrival. The waterfalls, whales, seals, eagles, mountains, and glaciers were wonderful. It was like walking around in an endless postcard.
On the first day of the trip, we listened to a fairly clean comedian whose act included funny laws from Alaska and Alaskan cities. He mentioned two or three. When I returned, for curiosity’s sake, I did my own internet search for funny Alaskan laws. I found the few that the comedian had used and several more. I realize that all states have funny laws, but these seem a bit worse. Perhaps this has something to do with Alaska being so far north and out of touch with the rest of our ‘normal’ country. Anyway, I thought I’d share with you a few of my favorites. They are listed in order so they should get funnier as you read.

Apparently, this is a law that is common in several states. Poor puppies.
7- It is against the law to tie your dog to the roof of your car.
.
.
I thought this one was self explanatory, but maybe criminals aren’t the most intelligent people.
6- It is against the law to break the law.
.
.
In the USA, you must have a license to carry a concealed firearm. When you are in Alaska remember this…
5- You must have a permit to carry a concealed slingshot.
.
.
In most states, it is illegal to serve alcohol to minors. Alaska goes one step further.
4- It is illegal to give alcohol to a m— oose.
.
.
I know several men who would like to institute at least a portion of this law in their own homes.
3- You must not wake a bear from its slumber in order to take its picture.
.

This one is random and bizarre. The act being prohibited seems innocuous and rare. But, what do I know? In fact, I looked this up twice to make sure I was reading what I thought I was reading.
2- It is illegal to enter a barber shop with your pet flamingo. (You can take your flamingo to other places, but not a barber shop.
.
.
The scary part about this law is that you know someone actually did this at least once.
1- It is illegal to push a live moose from a moving airplane.

Thanks for reading. At the moment, I am at about 85% of my monthly budget for the first year. I plan to be in Niger around the end of July though I haven’t yet purchased my tickets. Please keep Niger in your prayers. Blessings.
