It is illegal to put ice cream on cherry pie in Kansas.
In Florida, you are not allowed to break more than three dishes per day, or chip the edges of more than four cups and/or saucers.
It is against the law to make faces at dogs in Illinois.
In Connecticut, a pickle may not be considered a pickle until it bounces.

Choose one of the above or a ridiculous law you find on your own, and argue for it in 200-300 words.
