If you place the animal's hind legs (let's say a sheep) in the front of your boots... well... it makes it more difficult for the animal to move away from you. And you don't want the animal to move away from you because you really, really like said animal. (Perhaps you even "love" that animal.) Umm. are you getting the picture here?")

I doubt any of them are fake.

However, I doubt that any are actually put into effect. Most of them are probably the result of a one time incident that they don't want to happen again, (for example, the one where it says you cannot walk on your hands backwards across a cross-walk, or whatever, was probably because somebody did, and it resulted in a horrible accident).

I think only the highest and most bored state officials would actually have you arrested for most of these laws.

Some of them are, though.
Ex: If you frown at a cop in New Jersey, you will get arrested or fined for it. (And I dunno how that incident came to be P=. They must just be in denial or something =x)
And, pumping your own gas in New Jersey can get you a fine, as well. I bet those gas people just want a tip with prices this high =/.

The pumping your own gas one is really to stop you from driving away without paying.

I live in Pennsylvania, and I'm almost certain that neither are laws.
