Dumb Laws in Alabama

Many of the laws below have been verified, but many have been taken from websites that do not include law citations. The laws have been taken from newsgroups, websites,  and visitor comments to various sites. All of the following are true as far as I know but not sure how many are still on the books.

Bear wrestling matches are prohibited.
 
Incestuous marriages are legal. (OMG – no thank you!)
 
It is illegal to impersonate a person of the clergy.

  4. I would like to extend the mustache in church law to include toupees and BAD comb-overs. I mean how's a mother to teach her boys to be respectful of others on Christmas Eve while literally swallowing her tongue to hold in her laughter at Mass....just sayin'...

    As for the deflowering law..at least that means less chance of continuing the population that requires some of these laws in the first place!
