Archaic Laws

Courtesy of my friend Heather, archaic area laws still on the books. My favorites are, "At a wake, mourners may eat no more than three sandwiches," and "Tomatoes may not be used in the production of clam chowder." On the other hand, quick lookup of home sweet home yielded this law; "Peacocks have the right of way to cross any street, including driveways." This may sound asinine, but makes perfect sense to a native...the L.A. Arboretum peacocks have been known wander around the residential cul-de-sac behind the arboretum...last I checked, residents smiled upon wandering peacocks.
