Stupid State Laws of Alaska In life you will run into some stupid people. Unfortunately, some of those people end up in charge of some important things that end up in the public eye. Like the person who wrote "Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication," on a bottle of Children's Cough Medicine or "Warning: May cause drowsiness" on a bottle of Nytol Sleep Aid.

Of course it is hard to talk about stupid people without bringing up politicians and on that note it is time to explore more stupid laws and this time we venture into the last frontier and Alaska.

Stupid Alaska State Laws

Moose may not be viewed from an airplane – Does these mean that if flying and you happen upon a moose, shut your eyes?

You are really screwed if you have a moose stowaway on a flight because you cannot look at it and it is considered an offense to push a live moose out of a moving airplane.

Fairbanks, Alaska, though, has a different problem with moose which must have been the reason behind this: It is illegal to feed alcoholic beverages to a moose.

Public safety is high on the list of concerns in Alaska as with all states so a person may only carry a concealed slingshot if that person has received the appropriate license.

Those of us that frequent establishment's that serve alcoholic beverages know that including the bartender in a couple shots means better drinks but in Haines, Alaska, they have not gotten the word yet - Employers of bars may not let their bartenders serve while they are drunk themselves.

Juneau, Alaska takes the cake though with this: owners of flamingos may not let their pet into barber shops.
